The previous mellow_pencil-XL_clear_v1 was a model specifically enhanced with intermediate noise to create a sharp, high-definition output.

While this increased contrast and detail, it sometimes resulted in a "burnt" color look or left behind color blotches/unevenness caused by noise artifacts.

In mellow_pencil-XL_clear_v2, I have slightly reduced the intermediate noise to achieve natural color expression and a cleaner texture. As a trade-off, the density of fine background details is slightly lower compared to v1.

Recommended Settings (v2)

• CFG scale: 3 (2-4)

• Sampler: euler a

• Scheduler: beta

• Steps: 12-20 (around 15)

Quality Tags and Negative Prompts are not always necessary.

Fine Tuned Model of mellow_pencil-XL series, reduce noise for a clearer look and ensures vivid color expression even when the CFG scale is set low.
