Just a personal merge I did with my free time using 4 different checkpoints. Produces 2.5D semi-realism anime style images that hopefully should satisfy your crave of stylized images.

Tested settings, but feel free to experiment with other options (or just use my setting in the attached image. I use Forge UI, in which resulting images will be slightly different):

• Sampling: Euler_Max or Euler Ancestral. Get Advanced Euler samplers here. Euler samplers tend to generate better faces.

• Steps: 30

• Hires.fix:

  • Upscaler: R-ESRGAN 4x+

  • Steps: 18

  • Denoising: 0.4

  • Upscale: 1.5 - 2

• Clip Skip: 2

• VAE: vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned or kl-f8-anime2

• CFG: 6

Additional notes:

• ADetailer IS recommended for more quality faces.

• Use Envy's Better Hands LoCON from here for better hands, although Euler_Max should do the trick just fine.
