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.

✦ 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 :)

I hope you have a lot of fun being creative

⚠️
♥ 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.

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.

Description
v3 was created through a careful merge of Animij2, Kawaij2 and new unpublished Lora. A VAE is baked in, finely tuned to support the model’s soft rendering and natural texture balance. Because of this integration, using an additional VAE is not recommended, as it may disrupt the model’s delicate visual tone.

V3 has extremely strong flat drawn style with thick lines, really different to V1 (whose fan i am forever) and V2.
test images: https://civitai.com/posts/17203924
Remembering great time i had with V1, i felt i can't sleep until i try V3 which suddenly appeared out of nowhere ))
I had not tried V3 extensively yet, but first impression is that it lost versatility, volume and color richness of V1 in favor of flat mono-style.
Thanks 4 ur comment, I'm glad that u like v1 in her uniqueness ☺This model is not meant to outperform, but to offer a shift in perspective.
It is a brushstroke of thought, a quiet collaboration between artist and AI ~ not striving for perfection, but for poetry.
Letting go of comparison, the view becomes clear ~ and in this clarity, something truly new may appear.
@reijlita Yes, i remember and understand your approach in checkpoint creation :)
I am sure V3 also will find it's fans, and it is obvious that V3 is really great with materials and fabrics, giving a very attractive picture in it's unique style =)
I was just, being the first commenter on a new version, giving a head-up what to expect (if someone reads it of course))))
@Tyomanator It's important to have ur own taste :) and I've often heard that many people really liked v1, which makes me happy because it was my first own anime style ^^ and I'm also very grateful for ur feedback.
like my models ~ so is my language ~ a question of taste, but what I say is honestly meant. and even if my expression is sometimes too poetic for some people, it is only intended to express my love for ai art. I'm just grateful that we can discover this spot for ourselves and that it offers us so many opportunities to be creative :)
@reijlita Yep, V1 is amazing, and i often come back to it in my local generations :)
I really appreciate your experiments, maybe not all of your checkpoints fit my preferences and needs, but that is absolutely normal and even inevitable: some persons like one things, some - another, and you do not have to please everyone at once ;) Most important is that YOU can be pleased with what you do, and your creations are so different that anyone can find a thing for himself among them :)
And i adore both your artistic approach and your language, it brings a touch of mystery to trying your new creations =)
@Tyomanator Thank u very much for your kind words and for getting to the heart of why I love AI art in its versatility so much ☺ I'm very pleased that u perceive it that way and that u said it.
agreed~Personally, I prefer the v2 version, but v3 also performs well in certain situations. It mainly depends on the context of use.
@Waden thank u very much 4 ur feedback :)
Don't know why but v3 is really crapy with my Forge. v1 and v2 were so GOOD !!!!
