V3.1 – Featuring Illustrious V2 and RouWei v0.8
This checkpoint is crafted to find the sweet spot between Toon and Anime, bringing together the best elements of both styles.
✨ The idea behind it:
A detailed look… but not too detailed
Toon-like anatomy… but not overly toon
Anime-inspired coloring… but not fully anime
That balance is the core philosophy of this project.
Naturally, some versions may lean more toward Toon or Anime, but the goal is always to keep harmony between the two. If the latest release doesn’t fully match your taste, don’t hesitate to explore earlier versions—you might discover the balance you’re looking for.
Limiting things too much isn’t always the best approach, so in the future this checkpoint might take a fresh turn—becoming more anime-oriented or swinging back toward toon.
All the buzz it gained on Civitai will be used to hopefully one day allow this checkpoint to be featured on the platform, even if only for a short time. Until then, you can enjoy it on SeaArt and TensorArt!

💡 What you see is what you get: previews are shown as-is, with no hires fix, adetailer, inpaint, or post-processing—so small errors may be visible, but the results you see are the results you’ll get.
This is always up to personal preference, but the configuration I use to test the model—and that works well for me—is the following:
Steps: 40
Resolution: 836x1254
Sampler: Euler A or DPM++ 2M Karras
CFG Scale: 7
🔹Made it this far?
If you like the model, let me know! Comments, feedback, suggestions, even insults—everything’s welcome.
I also really enjoy seeing what people create with my models!
Also, feel free to explore my model library — I’ve got many LoRAs in various styles that you might enjoy.
And if you’d like to support me, you can do so on Ko-fi. Even the smallest contribution means a lot and truly motivates me to keep making models and tools for the community.

Consistently awesome, was able to generate high quality pictures (well IMHO) without need for LORA, and using high-res fix is just optional as the eyes aren't distorted at first run.
Hi, i try to use it for the bounty but the resource isn't availeable, i can't use it when i try to remix any kind of image in here
The model's availability on the site has ended. You can use it locally or on other generation sites such as SeaArt or TensorArt.
There is problem if using this (if it works again cause i can't use now) i recreate a character and make a lora from it? (As i have nownidea how to do it from cero and transform screenshot for lora)
I like this model, hope it stays up
its so flexible!! ❤️. after using multiple style & prompts, it gives me the result tht i wanted. Not too "toony", not too "realistic". keep it up!!
Pleasantly surprised with my result.
