This checkpoint is a merge of 40% aCrystalPony_v2VAE and 60% SDXXXL and also including the YhnrFractalXL lora. This makes it a weird mix of pony-style anime heavily towards photorealism. But it's not anime nor photoreal out of the box. It needs some careful prompt crafting to get the best results. At times it might seem unstable, but it has the potential for some very nice results.

To enhance general image quality, the usual quality modifiers (general and pony style) can be used:

(masterpiece, best quality, good quality)

(score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up)

etc

To summon the fractals from the integrated lora, try keywords like:

(YhnrFractalXL, fractal style, fractal)

See https://civitai.com/models/404093 for mode guidance and examples of the fractal lora.

This model CAN do anime, it just needs high weight values. Do not be afraid to use something like:

POS: (2d anime style, flat colors, lines:2)

NEG: (3d, real, photo:1.5)

Without style hints in the prompt, it gives a certain 2.5D style which can be uncanny. Prompt for realism or 2D style to get away from this basic style.

Credits to the makers of the base models in this mix, I just merged them together with some added lora!
