to those who tinker with me,

Animij
Hey guys,
u asked abt it. 😊 Now I present to u: Animij ~ retro-modern soft cored. 4 different styles ~ moaarrrrrr possibilities?! 😋
For a long time I asked myself why merge an anime model ~ when there are a wealth of great models that serve this genre?
Ur voice is important to me, so I took the plunge. U know me, I like things different, and so Animij spawns as an anime style that may not suit everyone's taste ~ but maybe urs?
Animij is coming
soft
drawn
vibrant
retro touched
with a touch of eroticism
minimalistic, but detailed
and full of emotions
Tasty for more? Feel free to play around ~ every version comes with her own playground ☺
💌 NEW
✦ Version 10 —~ Core ID
💙 Animij is an ID model.
What does that mean?
💙Animij has character ;)
• clear subject separation
• soft isofocus / gentle background falloff
• light defines form
• soft-gloss skin highlights
• clean, controlled speculars
• color interaction (warm ↔ cool)
• background supports subjects
• playful / confident posing
• slight perspective presence
• restrained, accessible expressions
• calm / soft / slightly playful emotion
• clean edges + soft rendering balance
• semi-anime aesthetic
• lighting with behavior
• flexible character identity
💙 v10 was created from a feeling of gratitude.
So many heartwarming words touched me.
…they stayed.
This is how v10 emerged ☺
For this moment ~ I’m a little quieter in words
So I let the images speak.
I hope you enjoy.
—~ Reij ♥

✦ Version 9
"Sparks Found in the Space Inbetween Shadows"
hey friends, ☺
i’m not a fan of comparisons, but what stands out with v9 is that it works both with various quality tags and negative prompts ~ and also without them.
Adetailer? optional.
in some showcase images i simply didn’t use it ^^
hires, i remain a fan of upscaling, just to give the model more room to unfold. but the model can be used without it.
steps? i prefer around 40, but 20 have their own charm too. entirely up to your taste ^^
for different hardware, whether onsite or local. i’ll only be able to test onsite later, so it was important to me to try the model locally first with smaller settings :)
sampler? feel free to experiment ~ currently i’m using Euler a and DPM++ 2M Karras.
✅ ladies? yes
✅ gentlemen? yes
✅ 🥵 nsfw? yes
✅ 🦊 furry? yes
i love it ♥
i hope you enjoy the new playground just as much :)

✦ Version 1.2
hey friends,
your feedback is important to me ☺
That's why there is now the first Animij update ^-^
v1.2 retains the style of v1, is a little more refined in the rendering and spawns with more options to use quality tags or leave them out to suit your taste ☺
I hope you have a lot of fun being creative

✦ Version 6
Like the previous versions of Animij, v6 is a separate model, not an update ☺
~ blending anime, semi-realistic, and comic-inspired elements.
⚠️
♥ settings:
🛠️ General settings I like to use: Euler a, 30+ steps, and a resolution around 832 × 1216. But of course ~ u’re warmly invited to be creative here too! 🌸✨
During merging, special care was taken so you don’t need any quality tags for great results ~ and u can even leave out the negative prompt if u like.
Just create the way u love 💖
Most importantly: I want to give both prompt pros and new creative AI minds the same freedom to explore – just prompt whatever comes to mind and let the magic happen 💖
I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur results ♥ best regards Reij
✦ Version 5
hey friends ☺
V5 spawns soft kissed by V1 ~ not back to the roots but with retro shine and velvety soft ~ comes with more freedom in the quality prompt design ~ more user-friendly for beginners and prompt professionals, whether realism or toon, V5 stays true to her style.
I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur results

✦ Version 4
from minimalist to fine details ~ ur prompt, ur fantasy ~ remains anime-based even with realistic attention. Through self-determined prompting more play in style variations: from matt to bright, accentuated or rich in detail, there is always a touch of detail, whether as a classic 2D or with more depth.

masterpiece, best quality, gradient, realistic skin, depth of field,-prompt
bad quality, worst quality, lowres, jpeg artifacts, bad anatomy, signature, watermark, censored✦ Version 3 ~ drawn symbiosis
v3 is the most drawn version so far. The focus is on the connection between AI and creative intuition ~ a quiet, painterly collaboration.
Born digital, but with the spirit of analogue: Every stroke appears as if it were drawn by hand ~ clear, accentuated, deliberately placed. It's not paper, but a canvas. Not a brush, but still a brush stroke.
v3 brings the “Drawn Touch” back to the fore ~ as a homage to drawing itself and as an expression of a new aesthetic: where AI does not replace, but accompanies.
✨ The Art of Animij ~ where details speak ✨
In Animij, details whisper of emotion ~ a stroke of storytelling. Eyes shimmer with depth, reflecting unspoken dreams. Light and shadow dance across soft gradients, giving each face a warmth that feels almost alive.
The magic lies in the small things: the delicate blush of a cheek, the glint of light on a ring, the way colors breathe with life. Nothing is static~ every detail wanna invite u: wanna come deeper? making each piece feel like a moment suspended between fantasy and reality.
✨ Wanna look closer? The story is in the details.

Love it, one of my fave models so far
thank u very much 4 ur kind words ♥ I am happy if u enjoy generating images with animij 😊
I didn't think this could get any better but here we are!
nawww, how kind of u😊 I'm very happy if u like the direction
What prompt tags do you recommend to get the pastel_retro style from your examples with V1? 'pastel_retro' alone isn't working for me.
the prompt for pastel_retro in the example images is:
+prompt:
(pastel_retro), masterpiece,
ribbon_tied_blouse, age_24, choker, long_lashes, blush, looking_at_viewer, dynamic_angle, abstract, cinematic
-prompt:
worst_quality, bad_quality,
CFG 7, 30 steps, Euler a, seed 4260178307
Foolish but genuine question here: would it be possible for you to also upload this to Tensor.art?
I'm not currently active on other sites, but I wouldn't rule it out at a later date ☺
@reijlita understandable - thank you!
After tinkering around, I gotta say — @reijlita, you absolutely nailed it with Animij V2. It's an absolute banger!
V2 is way more responsive to art style tags and has that extra anime-touchy feel I really vibe with. Definitely my favorite version so far.
Thank u very much for the kind words and the compliment. This made me smile and I'm really happy if u're having fun trying out different styles ☺
how do i get the styles to work in your examples, it doesn't seem to work for me and the backgrounds too, let me know how to use the example styles
☺ here a little insight in some promptings; https://civitai.com/posts/15136893
I'd like to see more face types. The facial features generated are always the same.
v2.0 behaves very well with the prompts, and combined with the Generation Guides found on ReijLita's articles, it allows more accurate and beautiful image generations.
Thank u for the kind words and feedback ~ I'm very pleased that you like the articles as well ☺
@reijlita Those articles are a great guidance, especially for inexperienced people like me. I'm learning a lot, and my images have become a lot better since I started to use them.
@BomVivant69 I'm really happy about that ~ and it's an incentive to write more articles ☺
I’m sure you’ve heard this already but v2.0 works even better than v1.0! Which is saying a lot since I LOVE v1.0! It works well with LoRAs and not to mention the styles look so crisp and clean.
Thank u very much for the lovely comment, that means a lot to me ~ and I'm very happy that it's fun to generate images with the new version ☺
Does it do NSFW? Is it good at it or is it restricted?
The merge model also contains, among other things, NSFW/Hentai in the Loras I trained. I just don't write that in the model description because It's just not just a NSFW model ~ it's important to me that a model can do both, since I also like both, PG and NSFW content ^^
@reijlita thank you very much for the fast reply. I aprechiate it. I will keep in mind to use it as you intendet ;) Just wanted to make sure it has the possibilities I am seariching for ^^
@Budala187 ur very welcome ^^ have fun trying it out ☺
Wow, it worked beautifully for me. Thank you.
thank u very much ~ ur kind words made me smile ☺ I am happy if u like Animij
@reijlita Played with it a bit more last might and I like some of the things I was able to create. I would post them all here but I would think you would get tired of my manipulations of Ash Ketchum. Especially since their are already lots of good images by others.
@tojg u just reminded me a bit of myself. sometimes I'm in mode and create 100 variations of a scene ^^ Then sometimes I want to post them all because I somehow enjoyed the process in which they were created and yes, sometimes I did that too xD then there are 2 20's posts of the same portrait in different perspectives ^^ I think everyone has their own idea of too much or too little, but it's nice when you have a lot of fun :)
@reijlita @reijlita There is a way to make a single post of a dozen plus images but I find that most people then can't see everything behind the scenes. Or they ignore them. Civitai is a bit awkward for things like this since (I think) the images can only be viewed one at a time.
My favourite model. Beautiful results with simple prompts. Also i like your style of artworks!
thank u very much 4 ur nice comment☺ I am happy if u like my kind of art and models^-^
What an excellent model, very responsive and crisp.
thank u very much 4 ur feedback :) I am happy if u like generating images with illustrij ^.^
This is amazing! Gonna be useful for my works !! I would like some collaboration in the future if posisble .
although it is a beautiful style, it seems too strong and bulky for different characters
thank u very much 4 ur kind comment, I am happy if u like to play with Animij ☺ and just can say thank u to so many creators for cratfing amazing character loras :)
Versatil and awesome model. Thanks for sharing.
Super impressed with the output and will definitely be looking to create more images in the future. Great work!
Thank u very much for ur kind words ^^ I'm happy to see u have fun with Animij and stay tuned for ur creations ☺
loving this checkpoint, creates the 90's aesthetic i've been looking for, it also pairs very well with the Dark Art Style illustriousXL Lora found here https://civitai.com/models/1380736
Hi. Do you recommend to use with VAE, or is it baked with one ? It look good without it, but the more you know.
hey, there is a VAE included in the model (I always write in "about this version" whether one is included), so I would recommend not using any more ~ that could look very "special" ^^
@reijlita Thank you for your quick answer.
@Chocolemur ue very welcome :)
Do you happen to use an upscaler?
or recommend one?
hey, thank u very much 4 ur comment, in most cases I use Remacri or this one: https://civitai.com/models/147641/nmkd-siax-cx?modelVersionId=164677 ☺
Please can you make v1 available again? Is there a way for me to use v1 directly via civitai like before?
Awesome, rarely commented, but this is the one I wanted. Looking forward to the new version
