RadioIllustrated is intended to be a 2.5D-esque model that leans towards an illustrated aesthetic without needing very complex prompting. As shown in the example images, it is capable of more 2D/3D generations (YMMV). While I am happy with where it is at right now, I do plan on experimenting more with the style in the future.

Note: Is slightly NSFW-prone on prompts that should otherwise be SFW, but that's highly prompt and seed dependent.

Usage Guidelines

(Note, these are updated as of 2.0)

Sampler Settings

Dimensions: 512 width, 768 height, but it should work with 512x512 and 768x512 as well since those are the most common dimensions that SD 1.5 models work with.

Positive Prompt:

"(masterpiece, highest quality, illustration)" to produce a more 2D style, "(masterpiece, highest quality, absurd res)" for a more 3D style. Adding keywords such as "cinematic lighting, thick outlines, comics style, flat colors" can also change the style.

Negative Prompt:

"(worst quality, low quality:1.4), poorly drawn, bad anatomy, wrong anatomy, blurry, open mouth" usually results in good images; alternatively, start with "(worst quality, low quality:1.4, normal quality)".

Sampler Settings:

DPM++ 2M Karras, 20-30 Steps, Clip Skip 2, CFG 5-9, Noise Seed Delta (ETA) 31337

VAE:

vae-vt-mse-840000-ema-pruned or kl-f8-anime2, both produce very similar results.

Hires Fix and Up-scaling

10 steps, 0.5 denoise strength

I upscale by 2 with the help of the Tiled VAE plugin; if you have 8gb or less vram, you can use that or reduce the upscale factor.
After generation, I send images to the process tab and upscale again by 2, but quality after hires should be decent enough.

Upscale with RealESGRAN 4x+ Anime6B to emphasize the more illustrated aspects, or ESGRAN Superscale 8x to get more detailed images.

ADetailer

ADetailer is a plugin that automates the in-painting process for certain features. I use the "face_yolo8vn" model with it to fix faces; I'd recommend leaving the prompts blank. I do not touch any of the other settings, nor do I use ADetailer to touch up the hands, since it usually seems to make them wose
