Old 2.0 Notes:
**READ FIRST**
ONLY use the prompt "flat color" if the model fails to apply its style to the resulting image. This newer model includes an alternative art style that can be triggered using the prompt "colored pencil (medium)". Use the prompt "sonic (series)" if you're wanting to do on-model Sonic characters.

Note: I recommend using the checkpoint Illustrious XL personal merge (v3.0 - noob-1.0) as it's the one that has given me the best results. Please refer to the showcase for examples.

Hell officially freezes over when you don't find ways to make this model better.
You never take a vacation, do you?
Very Pretty
Gotta be one of the only models i’ve seen that can constantly put out masterpieces. Usually when generating pics it feels like it’ll be a gamble on whether or not it’s good or not but i rarely have that problem for this model
I'm having trouble getting it to be on model. It keeps giving them tall humanoid bodies, even when I try to recreate the sample images. I'm using the "sonic (series)" tag but it's still struggling to keep them on model. It may look nice one moment, but then I generate it again and they grow taller. Shots from behind are even more difficult to stay on model. Sometimes the picture is saturated with one color, like a blinding pink all across the picture, including the backgrounds. Any advice?
Try another checkpoint like WAI, you might be using Illustrious 0.1
@bonsoirdude To be specific, I'm actually using waiNSFWIllustrious_v150.
Try sharing one of your gens on civit with all the metadata to see what's goin on
@bonsoirdude @bonsoirdude Alright, i just posted two of them in the gallery. A rouge with the long body, and a Lanolin with the sky turning pink. Hope it's not too much of a hassle, asking for all this advice.
@renniepie There seems to be a nuance when combining Lanolin v5’s model with Sonic Channel 5, it creates a pink contrast when mixed with city skies. You can reduce this effect by adjusting your prompts, such as specifying “blue sky.” Here’s an example:https://civitai.com/images/109365583
As for Rouge, Sonic Channel 5 can do on-model if given the right input, some perspectives could potentially distort anatomies. In this case, WAI isn't the best checkpoint for it and your combination of prompts aren't the most optimized for the task, so I decided to grab your same gen, changed the checkpoint to Artofura 2.0 and used supporting prompts like shortstack to enhance her appearance, this is the result https://civitai.com/images/109367394
If you want to brute force on-model generations, I recommend using my Accurate Anatomy lora in your generations https://civitai.com/models/903251/accurate-anatomy-for-sonic-characters-mobian-anatomy
Hope this helps.
@bonsoirdude I tried this out, and am getting more consistent results for rouge. I'll try it with the other checkpoint too, but it's already a lot better. Thanks a million!
Going Great so far. It has zero flaws but sometimes I gotta make sure the Prompt is right lol
Any chance we can get one of the other main artist at Sonic Team, Tomoko Hayane? They did the 2023 Otherworld Comedy series of art and the 2024 Calendar drawings.
I be for that. Especially the Otherworld Comedy and 2024 Calendar art
hey bro, could you lend me a Yellow Buzz?
Thanks bro, you're the nicest guy on this site.
You're welcome, thanks for using my model ^^
