    [ETA: see the model comparison I linked below. TLDR v5 is great; best of all worlds.]

    The v5 notes says "revert" the style; to which version (v4, v3)?

    And, can anyone give me a summary of the versions's pros and cons?

    Personally, i think they're all top quality, but overall I prefer v3.

    I revert the style closer to the v3.0

    @Crody Thanks for the reply.

    And good job on the models, your work is reliably top quality, and I appreciate how you're constantly working on it and trying to polish more. Kudos!

    Especially Nova Cartoon, which is the best cartoon chkpoint, and a pleasure to use.

    @Crody All right, I've had time for some extensive testing. Verdict: amazing model. And I love v5.
    See my review on earlier version (iirc v3) for detail,
    TLDR great style, beautiful , creative model with especialy great actiony and pose creativity, and great prompt fidelity.
    all versions were very good, but until this version i preferred earlier version's style+ pose emphasis.
    For a comparative study I genned a sequnece of my fave prompt templates with both versions 4 and 5 and 3, see my post eg https://civitai.com/posts/22144540 for the v5 results, TLDR this version AFAICT so far combines the best of all worlds -- the style i preferred from v3, now along with several improvements, like polished posing and prompt fidelity etc.

    At this point, I'm just overall pro Nova model, in many of your styles.

    So far, so fun!

    What are the optimal settings for the Hires.Fix?

    Also why do all my images come out blurry and unsharp example

    Here are my settings

    Also how do i stop the model adding faces/people to everything? Negative prompting barely works.

    This is absolutely my most favorite model! You helped me with a character design that means a great deal to me. It's a design I've been struggling with for years, which is hard to admit when you draw characters and story art for a living. I'll be running another character I've drawn through your model so my two match, and I'll be sure to share them when that's done. THANKS SO MUCH!!

    Messed about with V5 for a bit, but I liked the style of V4 more, it was a softer rounder style, V5 feels a little more anime and sharp to me, still cartoony just not quite to my tastes.
