Something

I got bored last night and decided to see if I could merge an Anima model for shits and giggles. I just vibed it out using some models that I really like, and it kind of hit my sweet spot for clarity, prompt adherence, lora compatibility, and overall versatility.

Thanks to the creators that I mooched this merge from:

• Animosity v2.0 Base by lonecatone23

• Lox's Haze Project ༄ V1.0 Light by DrLox

• Aijalon Anitoon Style V3.0 (Animus) by urusan

• Cosmic Grenade Mix (Anima) by DeskGrenade

I generate most everything at 1024 x 1536 using 3-5 CFG at 24 steps. I don't personally use turbo because it takes away from the model's versatility, but it works just fine all the same. All the showcase images are as-generated without inpainting or upscaling. Though I did iterate a bunch to get the some of the results I wanted.

For sampler and scheduler, I recommend using whatever looks good to you. I prefer using deis_2m_ode and bong_tangent, but er_sde or euler with whatever should work fine as well.

As far as positive and negative prompt quality tokens, I again recommend using whatever looks good to you. I'm happy with the results without them and have learned that less is more with Anima. So I just use basic modifiers like 'realistic', 'flat shading', 'toon style', etc to shape the output.

I consistently hi-res fix my stuff at 1.5x upscaling using RealESRGAN_x2plus and lanczos downscaling even though it doesn't always need it. I just enjoy spending my time on things.

Anyway, that's all there is to it. If I feel cute, I might update it down the road. Enjoy!
