<h2 id="heading-335">What is Amethyst?</h2>Amethyst is an anime-cg style art for illustrations, manga, comics, and more. I personally use this model for my works, which is well suited on one of my styles. Regarding text prompts, just be versatile and let your imagination flow.  And, just like most models it also has few issues with the hands, which can be easily mitigated with this model's inpainting (download separately) or some embeddings. (I still have other models, for some specific arts, yet to be released. <a rel="ugc" href="https://ko-fi.com/kiddyyep">Your support will go a long way, and a cup of coffee will keep me awake for many nights.</a> Thank you in advance!)This version of Amethyst does not include a VAE because the goal is for art versatility, wherein, you can use any VAE you like to produce unique aesthetics. Below are the recommended VAEs that you can use with this model to tweak a unique output.<h3 id="heading-336">Popular Variable Auto Encoder (VAE)</h3><a rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/hakurei/waifu-diffusion-v1-4/blob/main/vae/kl-f8-anime2.ckpt">kl-f8-anime2 VAE (for anime)</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/ckpt/anything-v3.0/blob/main/Anything-V3.0.vae.pt">anything VAE aka orangemix VAE (for anime)</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/NoCrypt/blessed_vae/blob/main/blessed2.vae.pt">blessed VAE (for anime)</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse-original/blob/main/vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.safetensors">vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned (for realism)</a>Sample images above were created with simple text prompts around default settings. More detailed prompts will produce much better results. As for text prompts, just let your imagination flow. One thing to take note, adding keywords like realistic, realism, photorealism, photorealistic, hyperrealism, hyper realistic etc. will make the image more real, and not including any word with real on them will make it look anime-ish.<h3 id="heading-337">Settings:</h3>Sampling Method: Euler (realistic) or Euler A (anime)Sampling Steps: 20 to 30Resolution: 512x512, 512x768, 768x512CFG Scale: 4 to 7<h3 id="heading-338">Popular Embeddings Used</h3><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/7808/easynegative">Easy Negative</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/4629?modelVersionId=5637">Deep Negative</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/5224?modelVersionId=6056">Bad artist Negative embedding</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/11772?modelVersionId=25820">veryBadImageNegative</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/55700?modelVersionId=60095">bad_prompt Negative Embedding</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/56519?modelVersionId=60938">negative_hand Negative Embedding</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/47085?modelVersionId=55199">EnvyBetterHands LoCon</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/58390?modelVersionId=62833">Detail Tweaker LoRA</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/19992?modelVersionId=23741">SXZ Vivid Darkness</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/8765?modelVersionId=10350">Theovercomer8's Contrast Fix</a><h3 id="heading-339">Limitations:</h3>Do use this model within the boundaries of legalities; do not use it to harm people and entities, or any illegal matters.
