inkPIGMENT V3 It captures a sketchy watercolor artstyle. Sakura Micron outlined watercolor artwork in some sense which is what I was trying to achieve. It came out quite nicely, I will work on improving on the linework so faces and finer details aren't to "Bold". Better transitioning in the linework basically. ON V2 You need to use low CFG and 30 to 40 steps. Some samplers will not give proper quality since the model has a lot of texture in the line work, some models inject unnecessary noise giving out a gritty image. I am currently testing samplers since most don't have Res_Multistep, but it's highly recommended to use it with BETA scheduler. Karras, SGM_Uniform and others tend to place too much. I will make a new version that is more flexible. LCM CFG 1 and 10-15 steps is also a great choice "Confound Atelier"---🎨 Introducing "Confound Atelier" – A professional-grade comic art model that merges the elegance of anime with the bold dynamism of Western comic artistry.

Confound Atelier

Previous version had too much noise, after testing with various samplers, steps, cfg, etc. I decided to tone it down, fiddle with the weights, and change the VAE.
