I find it creates images with a lovely cel-shaded feel, sharp lines, and really vibrant, punchy colors, as you can see from the example image.It's my take on that "modern retro" style. As a curious take, I feel like it produces images just like those stylish anime pins everyone shares on Pinterest, haha. I hope you have as much fun with it as I do!<hr /><h3 id="recommended-settings">📼 Recommended Settings</h3>I've found this model to be quite responsive and flexible, but here are the settings I've had the most success with:<ul><li>CFG Scale: <code>3.5</code> (Seems to be a nice sweet spot)</li><li>Steps: <code>25 - 38</code></li><li>Sampler: <code>Res_multistep - Beta</code> (My preferred sampler for this one)</li></ul><h3 id="notes-on-use">🎨 Notes on Use</h3><ul><li>It seems to respond well to prompts, so you can guide the details pretty effectively.</li><li>Great for character portraits, fantasy scenes, or anything needing that "magical" 90s anime vibe.</li></ul><hr /><h3 id="your-turn!">💬 Your Turn!</h3>This is just a project I wanted to share with the community. I'd be genuinely thrilled to see what you create with it, so please post your results!Feedback and constructive thoughts are always welcome. Let me know what you think!
