    The most beautiful checkpoint!

    It works great with almost any LORA.

    Maybe I just got used to it, but I think that at least to me V.4 looks better than the new V.5

    Id say V.4 looks overall better than V.2, and also better than the new V.5 version. V.4 is so far peak :D

    i dont know if i fully agree i havent generated that much with v5 yet and didnt rly have time to generate alot with v4 either, it just focuses more on "realism" instead of anime style ish

    After producing some images, I feel that v5 has improved in terms of realism, but it is not as good as v4 in terms of color and lighting,

    My personal feeling, v4 is more balanced between color and realism.

    I really want to love this checkpoint, but I just can’t bring myself to use it. The fingers just aren’t fingering, there are often too many if you use hand-specific prompts, or they end up as tiny nubs or warped shapes. On average I had to do around five generations of the same prompt just to get decent fingers.

    And sometimes, though it’s rare, if the character smiles with teeth, the teeth look painted on or just weird. It’s sad, because aside from these two major flaws, this is one of the most beautiful checkpoints I’ve ever used.

    For reference, I’m generating at 1024Ɨ1536 with 1.5 Hires Fix (R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B), 0.4 denoising, and 20 HF steps.

    I’m also using 7 CFG, 30 steps, and Euler A.
    My standard positive prompt was: masterpiece, best quality, newest, absurdres, highres, 8K, ultra-detailed,

    Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but if I am, I honestly can’t spot it.

    I experienced exactly the same problems.

    Try adding these tags to your negative prompt:
    missing thumb, deformed hands, malformed hands, extra fingers, fused fingers, wrong number of fingers

    For teeth I just ended up mostly using 'closed mouth' with something like 'seductive smile'.

    Just chiming in that these flaws are still present in version 6. Variety on male faces also leaves something to be desired, I either get the gigachad jaw or it switches to a female shape, with nothing in between.

    Ok, maybe I was wrong. Did some more testing with V.5 and it actually looks great. At first I thought overall lightning/shading was bit worse, but that could have been kinda randomness in pictures, depending on the enviroment like certain types of indoor rooms etc. This can be easily just my feeling, and somebody might notice it different, but Id say that faces look overall bit better in V.5 than on V.4

    Just started generating AI artowork and this checkpoint is amazing! I look forward to creating more scenes with this.

    I think this performs on par with Z Image Turbo. It's the first time I've seen consistently coherent results from an SD/SDXL model.

    Unfortunately it is not strong on the photorealistic side. Perhaps a LoRA might fix that.

    goeypants400Dec 22, 2025Ā· 1 reaction

    this isnt meant to make photorealistic stuff, its only supposed to make 2.5d anime. also stop comparing base model to a extensive finetune

    TillerzJan 4, 2026Ā· 2 reactions

    Right, it's more anime-ish than _50 version.

    Skill issue?

    Facial variety isn't that great, but it's not like some other checkpoints that bolt tits on everything that has long hair...
