My goal for this merge was to blend the artistic shading of sxz Luma with a 2D comic/anime style, and I think it came out pretty good. As for what that has to do with Starfruit? Nothing really, I just like the name.

Just like with my other merges, I intentionally made it female focused and NSFW leaning as that's the content I enjoy generating. That's not to say you can't use it for SFW, of course.

Intended Usage:

Positive Prompt: Start with (masterpiece, highest quality, illustration)

Negative Prompt: For most gens, (worst quality, low quality:1.4, normal quality), poorly drawn, bad ???????, wrong ???????, blurry should be sufficient. I also like to add open mouth

Generation: DPM++ 2M Karras, ~25 steps, ~7 CFG, 512x768

Hires-Fix: RealEsgran 4xAnime 6B, 10 steps, 0.5 denoise strength

Adetailer: face_yolov8n, default settings, I don't use adetailer for hands

Post-Processing: All example images are up-scaled a second time with the same upscaler as hires-fix
