Overview

Cheesymud’s Any Style is the culmination of months of iterative experimentation, careful tuning, and dataset curation. Built upon the Illustrious backbone, this model has undergone progressive fine-tuning on thousands of stylized artworks, pushing the limits of adaptability and visual richness.

Its greatest strength lies in its stylistic elasticity, capable of rendering anything from anime-inspired visuals to cinematic, painterly scenes, and even vivid semi-realistic portraits without compromising coherence or aesthetic integrity. Each output reflects meticulous balance: smooth, organic skin tones; expressive lighting; and vibrant, painterly color harmony.

Design Philosophy

The goal behind Cheesymud’s Any Style was simple yet ambitious, to create a universal visual generator that retains Illustrious’s signature semi-realistic touch but allows for free-flowing artistic variation. Unlike hyper-specialized checkpoints that excel in one niche, this model was built to adapt and interpret prompts intelligently, letting users sculpt their desired aesthetic with precision.

Its training focused heavily on color dynamics, emotional expression, and environmental blending, ensuring results that feel alive, atmospheric, and intentional. Whether you’re generating characters under soft ambient light or scenes bursting with neon hues, the model preserves depth, contrast, and personality.

Technical Notes

  • Framework: Locally trained via Forge Web UI, ensuring direct control over training cycles, resolution handling, and dataset filtering.

  • Training Process: The model underwent multiple epochs of fine-tuning with mixed-precision data, incorporating both clean reference sets and creative, stylistic samples.

  • Output Traits: Naturally expressive, color-rich, and well-structured compositions, with a unique painterly glow reminiscent of high-end illustration work.

Subject Strengths

While women remain the model’s primary artistic focus, showcasing exceptional results in portraiture, character design, and emotive close-ups, Cheesymud’s Any Style is not limited to them. With the right prompting and composition balance, it can produce:

  • Male characters with realistic texture and structure

  • Fantasy scenes rich in mood and atmosphere

  • Cinematic compositions with dynamic lighting and motion cues

  • Soft painterly landscapes suitable for concept art or storytelling visuals

Recommended Use Cases

  • Semi-realistic or painterly portrait generation

  • Character design for games, stories, or comics

  • Concept art and visual worldbuilding

  • Dynamic lighting or color experimentation

  • Stylized realism blending (anime-real hybrid aesthetics)

Whether you’re chasing cinematic elegance, soft fantasy tones, or bold expressive character art, Cheesymud’s Any Style adapts effortlessly to your creative intent, no rigid aesthetic boundaries, no overbaked style bias.

Prompting Tips

  • For Semi-Realistic Outputs: Pair descriptive physical traits with lighting conditions (e.g., “cinematic lighting, ultra-detailed skin, moody shadows”).

  • For Stylized/Anime Results: Include stylistic cues like “anime style, cel shading, vibrant colors, expressive eyes.”

  • For Painterly or Artistic Looks: Add “soft brush strokes, painterly texture, artstation quality, vibrant contrast.”

  • For Men or Other Subjects: Reinforce gender or context early in the prompt, “handsome young man, cinematic portrait, rim lighting.”

Model Personality

If Cheesymud’s Any Style had a personality, it would be that of a versatile artist, one who thrives on experimentation, balancing technical discipline with bursts of emotional color and expressiveness. It doesn’t just replicate images; it interprets them, translating prompt ideas into art that feels intentional, warm, and alive.

Final Thoughts

Cheesymud’s Any Style is not just another Illustrious derivative, it’s a reimagining of what a foundation can achieve when given creative freedom and technical precision. Its outputs are vivid yet controlled, emotive yet detailed, and always artistically rich.

If you value adaptability, expression, and visual storytelling, this model is designed to become your all-purpose creative tool, a flexible, painterly powerhouse that bridges the gap between realism and imagination.
