I was happy with my FantasticChix-HR model, so I decided to use it as a base for a more anime-styled version, and these are the results.

Merged models:

• FantasticChix-HR

  • https://civitai.com/models/60933/fantasticchix-hr?modelVersionId=66857

• Counterfeit V3.0

  • https://civitai.com/models/4468/counterfeit-v30

• Dalcefo Painting V3

Settings are basically the same as FantasticChix-HR, so follow the instructions there for how to use (including the VAE). Since it can sometimes have ??????? problems compared to FantasticChix-HR, I'd recommend also adding a (bad ???????:1.4) prompt to the negatives.

This model also really likes to generate women, so if you want something else, you'll need to get a bit aggressive with positive and negative prompts. Just using a prompt like "giant mecha" will give you a female wearing mecha armor. Even using just "male" in the positive prompts will sometimes make a more androgynous male.

Only one of the sample images is using a LoRA. The rest are purely the model doing all the work. For some examples of prompts, see the samples of FantasticChix-HR. If you want more colorful results, make sure to include some prompts like "vibrant colors", "colorful", etc.

If you notice anything weird added to the image or any messed up ??????? after upscaling you may need to reduce the denoising strength of the upscaler from 0.5 to 0.4.
