Kaiba (2008 anime) art style for IL (backgrounds & characters)

Art style from Kaiba, the 2008 anime directed by YUASA Masaaki.

Trigger tag: kaibayuasa, retro artstyle,

(Results without retro artstyle seem poor.)

Recommended settings

• Checkpoint: WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL (any Illustrious checkpoint should work but I haven't tested on any)

• cfg: 1~1.5 on sampler euler_ancestral_cfg_pp (5~6 on euler, untested)

• Steps: 15~25

• Lora strength: 1~1.5

• Note higher steps/cfg -> more saturated, adjust depending on your desired saturation

• I recommend face detailer or hirefix

• Some characters just refuse to be kaibafied. Just don't forget the retro artstyle tag, it really matters.

Recommended prompts

• Backgrounds will default to empty dirt plains and dirt walls unless you describe a lot of background elements. Don't hesitate to use stuff like blue wall even if it's not a valid booru tag. Feel free to look at the gallery for more prompt examples.
