Holodayo XL 2.1 is the latest version of the Yodayo Holodayo XL series, following the previous iteration, Holodayo XL 1.0. This open-source model is built upon Animagine XL V3, a specialized SDXL model designed for generating high-quality anime-style artwork. Holodayo XL 2.1 has undergone additional fine-tuning and optimization to focus specifically on generating images that accurately represent the visual style and aesthetics of the Virtual Youtuber franchise. Holodayo XL 2.1 was trained to fix everything wrong in Holodayo XL 2.0, such as bad hands, bad anatomy, catastrophic forgetting due to the text encoder being trained during the fine-tuning phase, and an overexposed art style by decreasing the aesthetic datasets. Recommended settings: - For optimal results, it's recommended to follow the structured prompt template: `1girl/1boy, character name, from which series, by which artists, everything else in any order.` - Put `masterpiece, best quality, very aesthetic, absurdres` at the end of the prompt. - Sampler steps should be around 25 to 30; 28 is the sweet spot. - CFG scale should be around 5 to 7; 10 is fried, >12 is deep-fried. - Euler Ancestral is highly recommended. Holodayo XL 2.1 inherits special tags from Animagine XL 3.1 to enhance image generation by steering results toward quality, rating, creation date, and aesthetic. This inheritance ensures that Holodayo XL 2.1 can produce high-quality, relevant, and aesthetically pleasing images. While the model can generate images without these tags, using them helps achieve better results. Quality tags: masterpiece, best quality, great quality, good quality, normal quality, low quality, worst quality Rating tags: safe, sensitive, nsfw, explicit Year tags: newest, recent, mid, early, oldest Aesthetic tags: very aesthetic, aesthetic, displeasing, very displeasing
