Hotaru Blend

This Illustrious based checkpoint merge produces 2D Anime pictures with a clean and detailed style.It is the result of merging 2 of my current favorite anime checkpoints.UpdateVersion 4.0For this version I added an additional personal merge model which improves the creativity of the model. The colors are now a bit less vibrant and instead have "smoother" look now.Version 3.0This release provides some overall improvements. I tried to make the style more like 2D Anime illustrations.I made 2 quality embeddings for positive and negative prompt, that can be used an an alternative to the below mentioned Quality tags.You can find them here: https://civitai.com/models/1821398?modelVersionId=2061138Version 2.0This release improves the overall details a bit, most noticeable with the hair and reflections. The prompt adherence should also be better then the previous version.The recommended settings are the same as for Version 1.Recommended settingsSampler: Euler A / Scheduler: SGM UniformSteps: 25-30CFG: 3-5Resolutions: SDXL recommended resolutions (832x1216, 896x1152...)Highres fix depending on use caseQuality tags:Positive:masterpiece, best quality, amazing quality, very aesthetic, absurdres, cute face, slender, detailed eyes, detailed hairNegative:lowres, bad quality, worst quality, bad anatomy, sketch, jpeg artifacts, ugly, poorly drawn, blurry, watermark, bad eyes, bright pupils, white pupils, bad hands, bad face, censored, mosaic censoring, bar censor, censor bar, text, signaturemerged modelsHDA_Rainbow_Illus v1.4HotaruBreedXL_Anime_v20DPO full original checkpoint (for DPO fix)+additional style lorasPermission: no commercial use, no selling, use only on Civitai (please also check the sources for their respective permissions)
