mellow_pencil-XL_clear_v2 | mellow_pencil-XL_clear_v1
The previous mellow_pencil-XL_clear_v1 was a model specifically enhanced with intermediate noise to create a sharp, high-definition output.
While this increased contrast and detail, it sometimes resulted in a "burnt" color look or left behind color blotches/unevenness caused by noise artifacts.
In mellow_pencil-XL_clear_v2, I have slightly reduced the intermediate noise to achieve natural color expression and a cleaner texture. As a trade-off, the density of fine background details is slightly lower compared to v1.
