A style LoRA for Krea 2 that brings the look of modern, high-budget anime and key visuals: clean, consistent lineart, crisp cel shading with hard-edged shadows, vibrant colours and detailed eyes.
It was trained on a large dataset of anime key visuals and high resolution digital anime illustrations.
no AI images in the dataset
no triggerword
Detailed natural-language captions in English, no tags.
In my first testing the LoRA made also non Anime checkpoints output anime style without prompting for it but it seems this is rather rare so, you should still prompt the model for anime style and the LoRA will then steer that to the modern key visual style.
V2
While i liked the first version i went again through my dataset and decided that the style of some images is too different from the general style of the dataset, so i removed almost all digital anime wallpaper illustrations and some landscape scenery illustrations and added more key visuals and some new anime "no human sceneries", so the dataset has a more consistent and uniform style. If the resulting LoRA is better is probably a matter of taste, but at least i can say the dataset is better. V2 gives lighter and cleaner skin which i like.
My showcase images contain my ComfyUI workflow (if you want to get the exact style i showed off in the showcase, there you have the exact settings i used).
I trained 3000 steps but went with the 2200, if you think the LoRA is too weak i can upload a stronger version.
V3
The goal was to get the intense eyes and vibrant colours from V1 while keeping the lighter and cleaner skin from V2. I also replaced the no human sceneries from my dataset with new ones, i now used Screenshots from high budget anime for no human sceneries (no screenshots for characters, there only key visuals and offical arts were used), since i did not like the sceneries i had, i just used them because it was the best i found. I also enhanced the captions. I also added more images where the characters smile with showing their teeth.
I would say the resulting LoRA reached the goal to get more intense eyes and also the prompt adherence is better.
