<h2 id="heading-6196">What is this merge?</h2>This is a merge of one of my favorite checkpoints. I was very fond of Mistoon Sapphire v1 since it was somewhere between the prevalent 2.5D aesthetic and a flatter approach of Mistoon Anime. I'm also a huge fan of Shigenori Soejima's artstyle and thus the effect is this merge. I've used two awesome models and all credit goes to makers. Below are the details of the merge. In an off-chance you like this, please make sure to take a look at Inzaniak's wesome work and give other checkpoints and LoRAs created by him a chance. Meden sadly seems to have published just the Persona checkpoint but I highly recommend it on it's own.<h2 id="heading-6197">Credits</h2><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/Inzaniak/models">Inzaniak's</a> model - <a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/32022?modelVersionId=38434">Mistoon Saphire v1</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/meden/models">Meden's</a> model - <a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/31771?modelVersionId=38211">Persona Lite</a><h2 id="heading-6198">How to use?</h2>I recommend workflow akin to what the original checkpoint authors have been using. It seems to work well, produce sensible hands without a lot of manipulation. It can do NSFW, but neither of the sources of this merge is specialized in that so you might need LoRAs for something other than standard anime nudity.Vae is baked inClip: 2Sampler: Euler A Steps: 20-30Positive prompts: (best quality:1.2),(masterpiece,detailed,highres:1.4) + typical booru tagsNegative prompts: EasyNegative, (worst quality, low quality:1.4),verybadimagenegative_v1.3, badhandv4, signature, watermark, text,multiple viewsUpscaling: I use either 4x_fatal_Anime_500000_G or 4xAnimeSharp<h2 id="heading-6199">Nerd stuff</h2>Merge is a wighted sum (Mistoon model A, Persona Lite model B) using GRAD_V preset. I was going for adding a bit of complexity to background and general style from Persona Lite, while retaining "smoothness" and facial/clothing details of Mistoon Sapphire v1. It's a preliminary result that I'll probably develop further or add one of the abandoned checkpoints from other talented authors.
