For V0.5 I tested out training prodigy, I think it's the best one yet. It's fairly fried though.
Try starting around 0.7 strength and find a look that suits you from there (usually lower works better)
Only tested using AutismmixConfetti
Tip: put 3D and Realistic in the negatives, and try removing them one at a time to see what look you prefer.
Specifying watercolor (medium) and similiar styles can be helpful.
Description
Changed my settings a bit, and trained for 14000ish steps. Quick testing makes me think it's better.

suggestion for others if you encounter a more realistic output than expected: Adding "anime" into my positive prompt helped (despite source_anime already being in there).
