It's been a while since our last release, and today we are thrilled to bring you the brand new major version trained on top of V0.2: ChenkinNoob-XL-V0.5. This update focuses on improving overall aesthetics, reducing common AI artifacts, and enhancing practical usability for game art production and illustration workflows.Key Updates &amp; Features:<ul><li>~12M Dataset Optimization: We removed some style-divergent images (&lt;1M), retained our core 9M open-source anime dataset (Danbooru, with data cutoff up to Jan 2026), and added 2.17M strictly filtered open-source game concept designs and high-quality Western datasets. The total dataset is now around 12 million images.</li><li>Custom Training Architecture: To efficiently handle this massive dataset, we developed an exclusive training script from scratch. This allows us to better utilize Hierarchical Dropout and Repeat Tag Resampling, significantly improving the model's generalization.</li><li>Exclusive 8-in-1 ControlNet: Released alongside <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2527960/chenkin-unicontrol-xl">Chenkin-UniControl-XL</a>.<ul><li>Highlight - <code>Fuse</code> Mode: Allows you to mix multiple ControlNet conditions simultaneously (e.g., Lineart + Depth + Pose) in a single pass without weight interference.</li><li>Requirement: To use this in ComfyUI, you must install our exclusive plugin: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/chinoll/ComfyUI-Advanced-ControlNet">ComfyUI-Advanced-ControlNet</a>.</li></ul></li></ul><img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/ffb2e1f6-3067-461f-97a5-3be8b1ded9be/original=true/ffb2e1f6-3067-461f-97a5-3be8b1ded9be.jpeg" />Recommended Settings:<ul><li>Steps: 25 ~ 30 | CFG Scale: 5 ~ 6 | Sampler: Euler a</li><li>Positive Prompt: <code>masterpiece, best quality, newest, high resolution, aesthetic, excellent, year 2026,</code></li><li>Negative Prompt: <code>nsfw, worst quality, old, early, low quality, lowres, signature, username, logo, bad hands, mutated hands,</code></li></ul>Future Roadmap: To better achieve character and style transfer, our exclusive IP-Adapter (IPA) has officially entered the training schedule!

Chenkin Noob XL (CKXL)

ChenkinNoob-XL V0.2 is out now. We extended the Danbooru training set through Nov 23, 2025, which noticeably boosts surface texture, lighting depth, and stylistic cohesion versus V0.1. The release also debuts a richer tagging system: Esthetic/Excellent tiers for aesthetics, explicit year labels, and High/Medium/Low resolution markers, making it easier to filter renders by era and fidelity inside community workflows. Dive in, share results, and let us know how V0.2 performs
