<h1 id="arcane-ritual-(anima)">Arcane Ritual (Anima)</h1>So I just wanted to create a checkpoint that blends anime and western comic styles — there aren't many options out there so I made my own!This is a happy accident that turned into something I'm really proud of. A merge of CAT ANIMA Citron and Mature Ritual with my own Alfonso Azpiri style LoRA baked right in (i still need to upload it sorry!) Massive props to both creators for their incredible work as the foundation! This one is different because it's less azpiri heavy so there's more freedom. I wanted something retro mixed with modern — bold linework, rich warm skin tones, dramatic lighting, and that vintage heavy metal magazine energy you just don't see enough of.What to expect:<ul><li>Bold expressive linework with a western comic edge</li><li>Rich warm skin tones and dramatic lighting</li><li>A blend of retro and modern illustration styles</li><li>Characters that feel like they belong in a vintage heavy metal magazine</li></ul>Works great for:<ul><li>Fantasy warriors and exotic characters</li><li>Cyberpunk scenes with a painted feel</li><li>Bold pinup and action compositions</li><li>Niche characters that need strong visual identity</li></ul>Tips:<ul><li>Uses standard Anima text encoder and VAE — drop it in like any other Anima checkpoint</li><li><code>score_7</code>, <code>score_8</code>, <code>score_9</code> will yield different results so experiment!</li><li>My Azpiri style LoRA will be uploaded separately soon — stacking it opens things up even further</li></ul>If you'd like to support me please go here <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://ko-fi.com/deskgrenade">https://ko-fi.com/deskgrenade</a> and have fun!
