    Apply a friendly, warm style to your Anima illustrations.

    (There's a Krea 2 version also!)

    LoRA strength

    • Use it at 0.9 strength with Anima Turbo.

    • Playing with the strength between 0.7 and 1.0 is highly recommended! Go too low and it drifts toward more of a serious comic style. Go too high and it gets wayyyy over the top - fun, but unstable.

    • The Krea Aesthetic 1.1 model wants this LoRA at 1.0 strength, and Krea Base wants it at 0.8 or even lower. Why? Life is a mystery :)

    Playing with the style

    • No trigger word, just describe the scene.

    • If you are using other heavily style-trained LoRAs or checkpoints, the friendly sketch style might fade. Try starting the prompt with "an illustration of" or "a friendly sketch" or both

    • Using your prompt to specify happiness, laughing, smiling etc. gets the best results - it's built to be friendly! But of course you can use it other ways too

    • By its nature it aims to produce a fun result with some visual descriptors: "high waisted riding breeches" or "a bandeau top with thick diagonal blue and white stripes" - just enough to give it something to work with.

    Description

    My first Anima attempt. I definitely found this trickier to train than Krea 2, but it's fun pumping out images in seconds with Anima Turbo!

    I love this idea. It's such a warm and friendly concept, I'll look forward to trying it.

    I notice almost example images , having " looking at nowhere " problem . Is it because the dataset or simply because how Anima interpret western toon style ? I`ve been trying several model ( with western toon style ) and it seem those have same problem.

    can you explain to me ?

    I had a similar comment on my Krea 2 version! But, I'm not sure I get it. Do you have an example of something without this problem, so I can compare? Then I might understand better

    @arsibalt I had commented on your Krea 2 version. This is a recent example from the Anima LORA: https://files.catbox.moe/v7qgnd.png

    Probably 50% of the time or so the characters seem to just be staring off into space. It's not a bad look, per se, but it definitely seems to be something that's baked into the training data.

    @Ahemso got it, thank you - in your example two of them are looking at the blonde but the blonde is looking at who-knows-what. I'm not sure honestly! I'd suspect training image selection or captioning, but... my training set does caption where the subject is looking. Also, I compared my internal checkpoints of a captioned and non-captioned training run; they both do this. Curious!
