Nix comic is a flexible comic base - with a core style mixture of 1990s Disney animation and 2000s Marvel Comics. It is tuned to be used at 0.7-0.85 strength on most prompts, giving headroom for mixing in other LoRA or style guidance. No keywords, just add, enable, and generate.
The colour pallette is largely the same between versions - the big differences are how face and SOME anatomy are handles, some line weighting and shading.
90s Nostalgia
Again, like the others, uses V2 as a core and has some retrains, re-weighting and blends (of another comic LoRA I built, but wasn't pleased with - not distinct enough). This time it leans to what I recall 90s comics and non-disney cartoons were like. Some feels of the indie artists hitting Marvel with wild takes on their art, some feels of Road to El Dorado and Treasure Planet, and some general "Cartoon Promo Art" that Nickelodeon had styled for their cartoons.
Thinner line work
Foreground/Subjects have line work, background should be flatter
Shading/texture with inner lines (like fabric folds or creases)
Distinctly different faces from Disney/Pixar - still leaning a bit to the Western style comics
Pixar / Disney (Formerly V3)
Leans more to soft/Pixar character side for faces - bodies get a little adjustment, but not as much as the face - has some extended body proportions like v1 with mainly face and detail work changes
Softer line work - the lines should be thinner, more tone matched to the item or character they are outlining, and even non existent when the contrast is enough
Richer textures - fine lines, hair, skin, and fabrics have a little more roughness and hand paint feel, fine details can be prompted onto fabrics
Deeper backgrounds (again, more details can be prompted into the background)
Complex prompts (feel) like they are adhered to better - but as we all know, there are many parts at play with this one
Disney / Western Comic (Formerly V2)
Similar core data set and and same goal, but much more flexibility, stronger definition of style, and richer scenes!
Refined V2 Foundation: Upgraded dataset with richer scene depth, enhanced background detailing, and cleaner base line art.
Precision Weight Merging: Blended with re-ranked and stripped LoRA to refine: Krea2 Zass-style Animation (body shape & background depth), Friendly Sketch Krea2 (line details & highlights), Nix Toon (color, highlights, tonality) using low-rank SVD reconstruction.
High Prompt Adherence: Text encoders stripped on secondary models to ensure prompt-defined colors, text, and scene details render cleanly without style hijacking.
Stackable & Diverse: Designed to prevent same-face/same-body bias, respect anatomical diversity, and stack effortlessly with additional character or style LoRAs at 0.8 – 1.0 strength.
Why not Nix Toon vX?
This started as Nix Toon v2, but the core style drifted quite heavily. This is what I intended Nix Toon to be - extensible, but a strong core style. While re-tuning that model, I worked to eliminate same-face and the unintentional loss of cultural identity. While it's not perfect, Nix Comic is much more open to more body shapes/sizes/colours.
What's different from other Comic/Toon LoRA?
Nix Comic has a strong visual identity, with ability to take direction from other LoRA and additional style prompting (without getting too crunchy, overbaked, or breaking style). It's also built for diversity, where possible.
Special callout to @ZairaSass - some of their LoRA stack was used for inspiration.

Thx for these, I've been very pleased with v1.0 regular (I read the description for overbaked, but don't seem to need it).
Any word on what's different between 1.0 and 1.1?
Yeah, overbaked is for a couple of the NSFW or Realism models that strip/reduce the illustration side of the data for the skin/camera/hair/posing. Doesn't always work, but gets closer.
1.1 most importantly has a re-rendered set of images of the women to remove the blush and eye shadow that one of my source models applied. It means that 1.0 will almost always force a cheek blush and purple eye shadow on women in the images, 1.1 reduces that significantly (and allows for more control over makeup and blemishes/freckles). Also I removed 2 images from my data set I believe caused some strange colour application in certain scenarios.
1.1 also seems to have a slightly bigger base breast size (one of my removed images must have been influencing the sizing a little), but plays MUCH nicer with breast sliders
@xFennec777 Thx for the quick replies! =) I'll be downloading the 1.1, then. I'll be sure to post any good images that won't upset the delicate Civ rater too much. LoRA's like these I definitely want to try and help give some exposure.
@Otto_Mattiq Cheers! Post anything. The NSFW stuff keeps to CivRed. Any sharing/exposure is great! Appreciate the feedback :)
Thanks for all the work, I love this lora :)
I like the style and versatility of this LoRA. I have a feeling our style goals align. Your article on LoRA-training was very enlightening.
Oh, and thanks for the buzz ;)
Thanks! Yeah, I think there are similar goals - yours tends to come out more painterly in my tests (which is really kinda cool). Zass and 1990s/2000s Disney animation are my base + any versatility for people to direct it :)
