Always good in a bind) <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/16993/badhandv4-animeillustdiffusion">badhandv4_anime</a> (absolutely your go to neg for anime / drawn hands) <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/yesyeahvh/bad-hands-5/tree/main">bad-hands-5</a> (good for the more realistic images but many times will not work amazingly for just anime.

I'm going to take a break for a while as I've been working on this fairly solid for over a month straight! I hope you all enjoy it and show me what you make with this magical model &lt;3 🌟Below (and also other images in the gallery) are examples of the styles you can achieve from the model just by changing the weights on a few simple prompts like: (Comic Style), (Realistic), (Line Art), (Illustration), (Curisscaro), etc. (These image examples w/ prompts are in the gallery for your use &amp; reference.) </h3><img src="https://imagecache.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/b79f15fe-f619-4fad-d450-934e646cfe00/width=525/b79f15fe-f619-4fad-d450-934e646cfe00" /> MANY examples will be going up in the next few days. So keep your eyes peeled!========================================================= A walkthrough on how to setup and use the basics in A1111 to get the results you see: ===========================================================Blurred eyes, or sometimes warped faces are not that uncommon in SD and sometimes require an inpaint to pull off. Most of my examples are not inpainted. But a few are. First off when you run txt2img ALWAYS use HIRES FIX! &lt;=== Upscaled: latent (nearest or exact) upscale, or 4x-UltraSharp. Denoising: 0.35-0.7 denoise (Complete variable - depends on the type and complexity of the image. YMMV! But 0.4-0.55 is a good window.) Upscale by 1.5-2 but no more than that. This will get you a pretty good base image to work with. Afterwards.. You can always send your txt2img picture to inpaint on the bottom right under the result area &gt; select the face or eyes &gt; lower the denoise strength to 0.5-0.57. &gt; make sure your seed is set to random. masked content = fill / inpaint area = whole picture ====== for faces masked content = fill / inpaint area = only masked ====== for eyes With "whole picture" selected for larger inpaint target aka faces (or hands) you may need the denoise to be lower to pick up more of the original image. 0.53-0.56 Now with "only masked" and a smaller target like eyes you get a little more freedom so your denoise can be 0.54-0.57 Run a batch of 4-5 (or more) for the faces.. go through pick the best one.. if you're lucky you got the eyes and face in one go... if not you may need to choose the best face.. send back to inpaint again.. select just the eyes.. and rerun a new batch (changing it to only masked and the settings described above for eyes.) Finally when you get it all together send to extras: Resize to 1.5-2 Upscale 1= Nearest Upscale 2= R-ESERGAN 2x or 4x But google or get yourself these: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://upscale.wiki/wiki/Model_Database#Universal_Models">Remacri Upscaler</a> <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://upscale.wiki/wiki/Model_Database#Universal_Models">Lollypop Upscaler</a> <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://de-next.owncube.com/index.php/s/jYnFtncarkBmpcF">4x_Fatality_Comix_260000_G</a> <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://upscale.wiki/wiki/Model_Database#Universal_Models">4x_NMKD_Superscale-SP_178000_G</a> (Install these into the proper directory: A1111-Web-UI-Autoinstaller\stable-diffusion-webui\models\ESRGAN and reload a1111.) Upscaler 2 is what will get you the results you want. You can also drag the upscaler 2 visibility to control the amount of effect each puts on the finished result. (I recommend turning it up 1 but YMMV.) Ramacri / Lollypop / &amp; Fatality Comix are neck and neck for the best output! They are all different. One is sharpest, One is more subdued, and one is like a sharp HD. Each are good for any type of comic / illustration / cell shading / anime. NMKD_Super is more for semi-realistic to real images and good for scenery. Tends to run sharp so you may have to turn it down a bit. Each of these is unique and so is their outputs if you want to compare simply change the pull down and run off the various types and contrast / compare all your the finished results.
