While I respect and enjoy anime, sometimes it feels a bit too stylized for my tastes, especially with features like eyes, noses, and hair. This style shifts things towards semi-realism in the face, while preserving an ability to do lots of great compositions, camera angles, and poses.
Trained one ~1000 hand-curated images that were collected over several months.
Current v1.0 versions are the first wave of training so you might consider this a work-in-progress but so far the results are really solid for Pony/Illustrious imo. Krea 2 turned out well but I think I need to tweak settings on Z-Image and try again there.
