[ If downloaded file name becomes short, rename it to "HotaruBreed_CuteAnimeMix_v70.safetensors". ]

[ v7.0 : Refined quality according to other latest HotaruBreed(v7) series. So intermediate versions(v2-v6) do not exist. ]

"HotaruBreed" series are merged models pursuing "kawaii", cuteness. I feel that model merging is similar to the breeding of flowers (to improve their appearance), so named "Breed".

HotaruBreed has special features :

Include many originally trained LoRA's to adjust painting style (saturation, tone), eye shape, and quality (finely detailed pupils, finely detailed outlines, reducing grain noise etc).

Highly detailed backgrounds.

Support NSFW outputs.

This is "CuteAnimeMix" - Specialized version for smaller(younger) characters and "AnimeMix (Japanese TV Animation like style)" based.
