These are my first attempts at a merge favoring semi-realism, with an ultimate goal of blending photorealism, anime, and western animation for a style that "softens" reality.
This attempt started with Rev Animated v1.2.2 (Thanks to s6yx), at a ratio of 0.80 mixed (through ComfyUI) with epiCRealism (Thanks to epinikion). I then crammed in Style03 from anime style box (thanks, kozue ) to further define the style of animation to build the base of model's style.

Images shown tend to have the following settings:
VAE: vae-ft-mse-840000-ema
Clip Skip: 2
Aspect: 512*768 or 512*904 for portrait
The initial pass through ComfyUI is usually:
Steps: 40
Cfg: 7.0
Sampler: dpm++_2m (karras)
The upscale is done at 1.5 times using 4x-Ultrasharp
Steps: 25
Cfg: 7.0
Sampler: dpm++_2m (simple)
Denoise: 0.40
Description
I was on a Discord server and some folks were enthusiastic about an image. When asked what model was being used, the creator of the image said CyriousMix. After trying it out and then seeing how it blended my PMAM 1.2, I decided to fold it in.
PMAM v1.3 takes the v1.2 and merges it with CyriousMix 1.4 (all kudos to Cyria!) through ComfyUI at a ratio of 0.76. I also folded in a detail slider LoRA (Check ostris out for a plethora of slider LoRA, and some great checkpoints as well, in SD1.5 and SDXL!)
