ℹ️ Galena Blend 1.5 embodies a vibrant semi-realistic anime art style characterized by smooth digital painting techniques, expressive facial features, and distinct stylized linework. Characters typically feature large, luminous eyes, detailed hairstyles in both natural and vivid fantasy colors, and balanced proportions set against varied indoor, urban, and natural backdrops. 

The color palette leans towards rich contrasts and clean lighting effects, highlighting textures such as glossy fabrics, soft skin tones, and metallic accents without relying on excessive realism. Environments range from softly blurred natural woodlands and winter wonderlands to stylized architectural interiors, ensuring the focus remains firmly on the central character design. 

Designed for versatility, this model style captures a harmonious blend of classic illustrative warmth and modern digital polish. It offers creators a reliable way to generate expressive character art that bridges traditional 2D aesthetics with contemporary rendering techniques for diverse creative projects. 

🎯 1.4 Illustrious - Adaptation of 1.2 and 1.0 style for Illustrious, with training that included also a few art styles(see trigger words). ⚠️ I'm going to try to put 1.3 Pony into generator for the next week. - Done! 

🎯 1.3 Pony - Adaptation of 1.2 and 1.0 style for Pony, with training that included also a few art styles(see trigger words). ⚠️ Unfortunately, I can't add this checkpoint to the generator due to Civitai's hard limit on checkpoints allowed in the generator per creator, which is two checkpoints at most. I’ve already reached this limit with <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2220/babes">Babes</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/26566/babes-kissable-lips">Babes Kissable Lips</a>. Maybe with more supporters, Civitai could dedicate more resources to allow additional checkpoints.

ℹ️ 1.2v - Improved VAE and smaller file size. 
ℹ️ I've started working on version based on Pony. 🥳 
ℹ️ 1.0v - Improved VAE and smaller file size.

ℹ️ Original description: 
📌 This is the latest in my series of mineral-themed blends. I wanted it to have a more comic/cartoon-style and appeal. It is also the most complex of my blends, requiring a small mix between AOM3 and iCoMix, several merges between unfinished results, etc. 
📌 It's less NSFW prone than my earlier blends, but still rather prone. Clothes generate without much hassle. 
📌 This blend was my most complex, and not all the LoRA's I used are available on CivitAI. The ones I did use that are available on CivitAI are: Sciamano240, Reiq, Omar Dogan, VanRipperArt, Tsuvida. 
📌 I used Hires fix with 4x Fatal Anime 50000 G with 3 Hires Steps, 0.3 denoising strength, and upscaled by 1.5. I use the OrangeMix VAE.

</li></ol><h2 id="why-i-created-my-own-access-control">Why I Created My Own Access Control</h2>I have been a creator on Civitai since December 2022. My goal has always been to help make model training, design, and development a sustainable, professional activity, not only for myself, but for other creators too. Supporting people who want to create models professionally is good for users, for creators, for the entire community, including Civitai itself.
Civitai has shared some of this vision and has tried to create ways to support creators. Unfortunately, their current Creators Program has serious problems:
<ul><li>Civitai was deplatformed by payment processors and operates at a loss.
</li><li>The current compensation model pays creators mainly for model usage in the generator.
</li><li>Early Access limits paid access to only 15 days, after which models must be free.
</li><li>Buzz extraction value has dropped to ~45% of its original worth, making withdrawals basically a 55% fee.
</li><li>Bugs and creator feedback are ignored for months, and several team members who used to listen have left.
</li></ul>I believe this system is unfair, harmful, and exploitative. Creators should be able to:
<ul><li>Sell models without arbitrary time limits.
</li><li>Pay a fair platform fee of 15% or less.
</li></ul>Civitai briefly tested a much better system called Clubs in early 2024, which worked well for creators, but it was canceled after backlash from a loud minority that opposed fair creator compensation. I have long hoped Civitai would fix these issues, as I’ve suggested in my articles:

</li></ul>But nothing has changed. Bugs remain unresolved, feedback is ignored, and I’ve lost optimism about Civitai’s willingness to improve.
That’s why I’ve decided to experiment with my own alternative access control system, a fairer way to share models with users who value my work.
