After pushing the Awakening series to its limits, I felt it was time for a new direction, a new philosophy. Today, that new chapter begins.A new series is born: Elysium, a model crafted for the ultimate in artistic polish and vibrant expression.!!! CRITICAL - CUSTOM VAE REQUIRED !!! This model was trained with a custom VAE for the best results. Please download and use it: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/Anzhc/Anzhcs-VAEs/blob/main/SDXL%20Anime%20VAE%20Dec-only%20B3.safetensors">Anzhc's SDXL Anime VAE (B3)</a><hr /><h1 id="aicai-animehaven-elysium-v10!">AIcAI - AnimeHaven - Elysium V10!</h1>Elysium isn't just an upgrade; it's a complete evolution. Built on all the experience from the Genesis and Awakening series, this model is fine-tuned to deliver images that feel like they're straight out of a professional artbook or a top-tier gacha game. It's all about clean, vibrant, and perfectly composed illustrations.So, what makes Elysium the new benchmark?<ul><li>🎨 Art Direction This is the core philosophy of Elysium. It has a masterful command of a clean, high-impact commercial art style. Generations feel incredibly polished, with perfect lighting, vibrant colors.</li><li>🌟 Vibrant, High-Energy Colors &amp; Contrast: Elysium takes the color science of Awakening and cranks it to eleven. Colors are exceptionally rich and saturated, and the model excels at high-contrast compositions, including stunning selective-color effects on monochrome bases. Your images will absolutely pop.</li><li>🎬 Creative &amp; Confident Compositions: This model thinks like an artist. It has an even better grasp of dynamic framing, creative layouts, and telling a story through a single image. It handles elements like ornate borders and minimalist backgrounds with equal confidence.</li><li>✨ The Apex of Detail &amp; Clarity: Everything you loved about the previous models is here, but sharper. The linework is flawless, the rendering of complex outfits is impeccable, and the multi-character capabilities are as strong as ever. It's the pinnacle of clean execution.</li></ul>Good to Know (The "Catch"): Elysium is a model with a strong, opinionated art style. It is designed to produce bold, clean, and vibrant illustrations. If you're aiming for a softer, more painterly, or gritty look, it might require more specific prompting to pull it away from its core strengths. But for that high-energy, professional anime aesthetic, Elysium is in a league of its own.<hr /><h3 id="recommended-settings-(generally-consistent-across-all-xl-models):">Recommended Settings (Generally consistent across all XL models):</h3><ul><li>Dimensions: Start around 1024x1024.

If you don't use that, result might be vastly different !Hello everyone! I'm excited to share my model series with the community, starting with the original AIcAI - AnimeHaven (eps series) and now introducing AIcAI - AnimeHaven - Ascended!These checkpoint merges aim at generating high-quality, vibrant anime-style illustrations, each with their unique strengths.The original eps series (V10-V50), based on ILLUSTRIOUS 1.1, focused on polish, detail, and increasingly atmospheric results, capable up to ~1536x1536. The new Ascended series, based on IllustriousXL 2.0, prioritizes stylistic versatility, illustrative clarity, and higher base resolution capabilities.Introducing: AIcAI - AnimeHaven - AscendedThis marks a new chapter for AnimeHaven, rebuilt from the ground up on the incredibly potent, but challenging, IllustriousXL 2.0 base.

As such, the time between future major updates for the Ascended line may be longer, ensuring each release meets a high standard of quality and refinement.
