ItN's Kawaii Merge

I am admittedly kind of a noob at this, but if you enjoy my humble work, any donations are greatly appreciated: https://ko-fi.com/insult_to_ninjary

Your generosity helps me stay motivated to keep improving and to keep trying new things!

At a Glance:

Style: Anime

Works with LoRAs?: It should (though maybe not perfectly with everything...)

VAE: vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned is baked (but you can override if desired)

Clip skip: 1 or 2 (experiment with both!)

Hires. fix: use non-default upscaler; denoising strength 0.5 - 0.4

Description:

This is another cute-leaning model. It's a bit more generic-looking than the Cute and Adorable merges I made previously, but it still gives nice results, and the more neutral style should theoretically make it more flexible for use with LoRAs. Since I'm running out of synonyms for "cute" to name these merges, I went with "Kawaii" for this one, lol

As far as negatives, in my experience, this model is fairly average in terms of all the common SD1.5 problems. The biggest one, as always, will be anatomy - specifically hands and fingers. You also will likely see some trouble with fine details and occasional jankiness, though I feel hands and fingers were definitely a more prominent and frequent issue.

Troubleshooting:

If you're having persistent problems with anatomy (hands, fingers, etc.) and/or general jank (that would be a good name for an SD1.5 mascot, lol), just try your best with all the usual fixes - different prompting, use a different VAE, try different clip skip values, use adetailer, inpaint, etc.

Outro:

If you make anything awesome, please consider posting them to the gallery! That goes for all of my models! I really like seeing what kind of stuff you all are able to make!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I will try my best to help! Also, if you have any ideas for future models, please don't hesitate to share them with me!
