Illustrious based merge with a 2D anime style base look. It has a more classical anime aesthetic to it compared to its PonyXL namesake, and a softer look overall. Artist tags work.
Recommended settings :
Positive prompt : masterpiece, best quality
Negative prompt : (lowres:1.2), (worst quality:1.4), (low quality:1.4), (bad anatomy:1.4), bad hands, multiple views, comic, jpeg artifacts, patreon logo, patreon username, web address, signature, watermark, text, logo, artist name, censored
Sampler : Euler a
CFG Scale : 5-6
I highly recommend using the ADetailer extension for better faces and eyes.
VAE is baked in.
I've included the different models I used in the merge in the suggested resources, check them out!
