My attempt at making a 2D anime model that has a nice, textured look to it. Admittedly, it's not something I spent a whole lot of time on - mostly because I didn't use cosine merges or anything, just model block weights - but I do think it turned out pretty good.Disclaimer: This model is intentionally focused on generating women and is slightly NSFW leaning - which shouldn't come as much of a shock since that's the majority of models on CivitAI. If you're not using it for that, your mileage may vary.Formerly known as "Textureful" <h2 id="usage-guidelines:-ne1skkj2i">Usage Guidelines:</h2>(Note: Updated for v2)Positive Prompt:Start with "(masterpiece, highest quality, illustration)". Add "comics style" and/or "thick outlines" to emphasize outlines - note that this also leads to more exaggerated female proportions. "arms by side" helps with keeping messed-up hands out of portraits.Negative Prompt:"(worst quality, low quality:1.4), poorly drawn, bad anatomy, wrong anatomy, blurry, open mouth" seems to work best for most things; you may occasionally need to prompt against other things.VAE:I just use vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.Sampler:DPM ++2M, 25 steps, discard penultimate sigma, karras sigma algorithmCFG 6-8 (The example images all use 7, but you may have to tweak to get the eyes right) Upscaler Model:<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://openmodeldb.info/models/4x-AnimeSharp">ESGRAN 4x-AnimeSharp</a> seems to be the best choice for getting that textured look. ESGRAN 8x-Superscale can emphasize the textured look but is messier. ESGRAN-4xAnime-6B produces a flatter look. Upscaler Settings:10 steps, 0.5 strength, 2x upscale, secondary sampler DPM 2M++ (if your webui gives you that option) Adetailer:For faces, use face_yolo8vn with no prompting. If you want to use it for hands as well, use hand_yolo8vn with "hand" in the positive prompt - I don't usually use Adetailer on hands since it doesn't work that well.<h3 id="formula:-wzzams66u">Formula:</h3>V2:Part A: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/271589/argent">Argent - v1.0</a> + <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/63920?modelVersionId=281294">Occidental Mix - v3.0</a> with GradV MBW PresetPart B: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/67389?modelVersionId=207565">Kilkenny Mix - v1.0</a> + Part A with Cosine MBW PresetPart C: Part B + <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/67389?modelVersionId=207565">Arthemy Comics - v 7.0</a> with MBW [0,0,0,0,0,0,0.1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,0.1,0,0,0,0,0]Mix: Part C + Part B with Ring08_5 MBW PresetV1:Part A: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/271589/argent">Argent - v1.0</a> + <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/63920?modelVersionId=281294">Occidental Mix - v3.0</a> with GradV MBW PresetPart B: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/54073?modelVersionId=374135">Arthemy Comics - v6.0</a> + Part A with Ring10_03 MBW PresetPart C: Part B + <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/67389?modelVersionId=207565">Kilkenny Mix - v1.0</a> with Cosine MBW PresetMix: Part B + Part C with Ring10_03 MBW Preset(Note, MBW stands for Model Block Weights)

Adjusted merges and removed Occidental Mix from merge formula to achieve a more anime look.
