Art was selected by hand to match a particular visual style (highly saturated flat-shaded art).See the "About this version" card for information about the dataset and training parameters. Images, tags, and training configuration are provided in an optional zip file along the model.<h2 id="attribution-r2mzax7pl">Attribution</h2>This work was inspired by the following linked model by IWannaGoBack, which targets a similar niche for SD 1.5 based networks.<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/85425/splatoon-style">https://civarchive.com/models/85425/splatoon-style</a>Thanks to IWannaGoBack.
