My first mix in illustrious category aiming to bring more details and flexibility to animated style of this type of models. Various results can be achieved - from animated to semi-realistic style depending on the prompt.
As always my gratitude and due respect to the creators of original models that are used in the mix:

Version 6.0: Experimental formula with addition of new elements to the mix for future development.
Version 5.0: Update with newer versions of the components.
Version 4.0: Return to older (v2.1) formula with improvements in composition and prompt adherence.
Version 3.0: Experimental mix with a little shift to more anime style and more vivid palette.
Version 2.1: Improved stability, composition and faces.
Version 2: Cranking up overall details and contrast. Colors look more vivid too. Needs further testing. Has more of its "own identity" compared to version 1.0.
Version 1: Overall very decent prompt adherence and anatomy. Stylisticaly close to anime-semirealism. High flexibility: some combinations of LORAs give very interesting results (you can find examples in the images).

Schedule type: Karras, SGM Uniform

How much money I need to pay to keep this model in rotation? All other models are amateurs compared to Bismuth and it's getting little love.
Thank you for kind words. Unfortunately recent changes to auction system made it very hard to compete with more famous and well established creators. That is why I implemented early acces for v5 (which I rarely do). The good news is thanks to all your support and one very generous donation I promise to get the latest version of Bismuth to the next week's rotation.
I feel the same way. Bismuth is one of my favorites. ❤️
Love this model, thanks for your hard work making it 🙏
New versions of models released and lose in auction bid shenanigans. Eventually many models gonna be perpetually shadowed by few most mainstream ones, which made developers less motivated to make updates, because no usage of the model on site = no buzz generated from this model, and (afaik) downloads dont generate buzz (or do it poorly?), all this lead to semi-monopoly of few developers for checkpoints, which then open them doors for more paywalling tricks.
Dumb auction system should be dismantled! Issues it suppose to fix need to be addressed in a different way, like weekly rotation of checkpoints or something, something which give chance to other checkpoints have its air time.
V5 is a very good manga model. Thank you for making it.
