    Arthemy Comics Krea2

    I've baked parts of this filter-bypass in oder to improve the facial expressions: https://civarchive.com/models/2746817/krea2-filter-bypass-fedor

    If you ever worked on a model, you know how it is hard to play with fp8. The process this time has been even messier than usual (so much so that my custom suite for tuning Krea models almost fell apart in any possible way it could), but the result is really fun to work with, if you want a western comics aesthetic or western cartoons.

    As always, I've "trained" this model by manually changing its internal value while checking some live outputs at every step - tuned and equalized its tensors and then built highly specific positive and negative LoRAs trained to solve some of its issues.

    This is really fun to play with but, I want to work a lot more on the TextEncoder side of things - it feels like it's not providing the emotions I'd like to showcase in my images, it's a little stiff, but I think I can solve that... somehow, somewhat, somewhen?

    Let me know if you encounter some bugs or inconsistencies (I'm happy to fix and analyze the errors, but I can't fix what I don't know that it's broken) - and have fun! ^_^

    This is a total model fine-tune so, it's not possible to convert it into a LoRA.

    I can share that too if you want, for me it was just faster to load than the fp8 in this format.

    I have RTX 3060 with 12gb vram, so 23gb is too much for me

    @mariocax have you tried? You might be able to use it anyway with comfyUI

    @Arthemy would be nice to also have the fp8 version, since everything over leaks in ram, and it slows down alot.

    you are the best

    @Arthemy apprently, you're right. I can use BF16 with no problems, just tested it out on a 16gb vram. ComfyUI is really nice.

    There were a few things that I just had to fix. The previous facial expressions were just flat.

    1.1 indeed perform much better but size increase trippled the loading speed in my 5080

    Ses_AIJul 13, 2026

    Should we expect fp8 for 1.1?

    I've added both fp8 and int8!

    Would you consider releasing the raw (base) version as well? It does help creativity when used with Turbo lora at 0.6 strength.

    I can do that, but it might be a little overkill to use the RAW version, have you tried different versions? ^_^
