    Arthemy Painter Illustrious - Quick Start

    With version 5.0, I've recalibrated the entire model using my custom merge tools.

    My main objective was to provide more "composition freedom" and try to fix the "anime" aesthetic that most of the previous versions were naturally showcasing. This model has been fine-tuned in ComfyUI so it might not be optimized for other UIs.


    As always, I strongly suggest to start from the following parameters - in order to have a reliable starting point before diving into your preferred style.

    1_____Size: Around 1088x1344

    2_____Prompt: Start from the prompts present here:

    Quick Positive Prompt

    oil_painting_(medium), (chiaroscuro), perspective, fantasy, (solo), ((sketch))
    
    [Your Prompt Here!]
    • Negative Prompt

      2D, 3D, toon, limited palette, glowing
      

    2_____CFG: 3.5 / 5.0

    3_____Steps: 50
    (I've noticed that 30 steps are not usually enough to solve the image completely)

    4_____Scheduler / Sampler: Euler a, DEIS Karras

    I hope you like my models and I can't wait to see what you all are going to create with it!

    Description

    With this new version I've decided to move the model in the following direction:

    • Easier to use

      • Implement a new "starting prompt"

      • Improve the prompt adherence

    • Give it a more "Painted" aesthetic

    Hello everyone!

    I've decided to post this model for free from day one, since many people don't have an easy access to Buzz right now.

    If you have some extra credits and you liked to play with the model, consider donating a few of your buzz - I'll use them all for a bid next week in order to give everyone the possibility to try it online!

    Cheers!

    @std_void I'd love to do something like that, but I think it will require the combined effort of a few creators to steer such an heavy base model in the right direction.

    v3 is gorgeous. I use dpm2m sde karras at 3cfg and it produces a smooth style somewhere between 3d and realism. Also model has good prompt adherence, I have been able to prompt individual placement of limbs (left arm holding flowers, right arm waving etc.) Great work.

    Beautiful checkpoint, are you planning to make a model for ZIT with speed paint style? or at least an art style lora?

    For now I'm thinking about moving to ZIT, but I didn't have enough time to delve into it yet, and about the LoRA... Personally I prefere to work with models. ✨

    It might be a little out-there, but if you want to play with ZIT, I've created this comfyUI extension that you might find interesting! :D
