    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

    The model has been rebuilt from the ground up - using my new workflow for merging and mixing models to a sub-tensor level.

    The objective of this new training was to remove the "Anime" effect that was still present in many images and skew this model even more towards a "painting" style.

    EDIT: fixed within an hour of my reporting it! Thanks!

    5.0 doesn't appear to load in Automatic1111. This is the first time I've seen a model from Civitai fail to load in my front-end. Lots of these guys:

    size mismatch for model.diffusion_model.output_blocks.8.0.skip_connection.bias: copying a param with shape torch.Size([320]) from checkpoint, the shape in current model is torch.Size([640]).

    @blindedscience181910 I've uploaded a new version compatible with every UI - as I said, it works better on ComfyUI, but the actual incompatibility was an issue I had to address.
    Good catch and thank you for the feedback!

    Will you be making a Painter version for Anima?
