Description:

A crisp, bright, clean anime look. Lines get sharp and tidy, colours turn clear and high-key, and shading becomes neat cel shading with a light gloss. Backgrounds stay light and uncluttered. Think polished key visual rather than painterly.

This isn't a trained LoRA. No images were used to make it. It comes from steering neurons inside the base model:

• I mapped the UNet's feed-forward neurons into groups. This file is three groups of about 1,000 neurons each, across three layers (one early in the UNet, one in the middle block, one style layer), mixed by a random combination search.

• The LoRA stores that push as a bias change, which is why the file is only about 17 KB.

How to use

• No trigger word. Just load the LoRA; it acts on the model only, not the text encoder.

• Strength 1 is the look in the previews. The effect scales linearly with strength: lower it for a lighter touch; negative values push the other way.

• It stacks with other LoRAs.

• Preview settings: 768×1024, 20 steps, CFG 4.5, DPM++ 2M Karras.

Compatibility

• Made and tested in ComfyUI (Load LoRA / LoraLoaderModelOnly) on prefectIllustriousXL v4.0.

• Other UIs: the file holds only bias changes, which some UIs (A1111 / Forge) may not load. If nothing changes, that's why.

• Other Illustrious checkpoints: untested, but they share the base, so it may carry over.
