Finally managed a reworked version I'm satisfied with. Since I don't own a very powerful computer, I decided to focus on merging an anime-style model with a painterly aesthetic that can generate good images at lower steps in order to save my PixAI credits and Lora slots. Ideally, I would have liked to make a DiT model, but the styles I wanted are more scarce in that architecture and the generation costs are generally higher than XL generation with similar settings, so I sticked with XL.
All my published images have a HiRes Upscale applied to them after generation. Because I want my personal gallery to be as highly curated as possible, my personal workflow consists of using this model to generate iterations for cheap and then apply a hires pass to selected images to upscale and add details, so the generation details on these images will likely not match the recommended steps.
