Style LoRA based on illustrations by iwamushi (岩虫).

Flat print color, muted sandy and olive palettes, rough uneven linework, grainy halftone texture.

Available for two bases — pick the version that matches your model:

• Anima v8 — trigger @iwamushi (recommended)

• Anima v5 — trigger @iwamushi (previous version, darker and rougher)

• Illustrious — trigger iwamushi

This is a style, not a character — name the character you actually want.

Not an official model by the artist.

---------------------------------------------

Anima v8

Trigger: @iwamushi (put it at the start of the prompt)

Recommended style tags: rough uneven linework, halftone texture

LoRA strength 1.0.

Tips

• Don't add color tags like "olive muted palette" — they tint clothes olive-yellow. The LoRA already carries the palette.

• Avoid the word "dirty" in texture tags — it paints stains on clothing.

• If you ever see an "@iwamushi" signature in a corner, add "signature" to the negative prompt.

What changed since v5

• Dataset grew from 79 to 112 images: new works added, low-res previews replaced with high-res originals, off-style pieces (neon, UI-heavy, 3D-like) removed.

• Much less Re:Zero bias — characters stay on-model more often (hair color, outfits).

• Noticeably more detail: backgrounds, clothing, lighting and shadows.

• Handles complex scenes better: multiple characters, crowds, detailed interiors.

• Warmer, sandier tone, closer to the artist's originals.

Epoch 7 of 8 (784 steps), not the final epoch.

Training

Base: Anima Base v1.0. DiT with AdaLN trained, text encoder and LLM adapter frozen.

Rank/alpha 16/16 · 112 images · 1024 res, buckets 512–1536 · AdamW8bit · LR 5e-5, constant, 5% warmup

Trained on Anima Base v1.0 only. Behavior on Anima Turbo and third-party merges is unknown.

---------------------------------------------

Anima v5 (previous version)

Superseded by v8, which has more detail and handles complex scenes better. v5 is kept for its darker, rougher look.

Trigger: @iwamushi (put it at the start of the prompt)

Optional style tags: flat print color, olive muted palette, rough uneven linework, dirty halftone texture

Epoch 6 of the v5 run (474 steps), not the final epoch.

---------------------------------------------

Illustrious

Trigger: iwamushi (put it first, then regular Danbooru tags). No style tags needed.

Recommended:
