I’ve been trying to transition from SD1.5 to SDXL for a while, but old prompting habits die hard.
Even more difficult was finding a model to produce the look I prefer. Most seem to love realism, 3D pixar style, anime, and super airbrushed.
If you have any tips for SDXL models, loras, prompting for this style, etc. please let me know!
parameters:
1girl, demon woman with bangs and ram horns and wings, holding bloody human heart, solo, sitting with knees up, (full body:0.6), looking at viewer, (dark fantasy theme:1.1) (glowing eyes:1.05), thick lines, flat shading
Negative prompt: low quality, deformed, embedding:negativeXL_D, embedding:unaestheticXL_Sky3.1,
Steps: 10, Sampler: dpmpp_3m_sde_simple, CFG scale: 1.0, Seed: 212036223314935, Size: 1024x1024, Model hash: 268a170aa6, Model: grogmixTURBO_v10
(and some inpainting/upscaling)
I usually go with the full models, but for some reason GrogMix only has turbo and can nail the look I’m after.
I keep seeing positive sentiments about Pony everywhere I look, so I’ll keep trying with that one. Right now, I’m having trouble with any character that isn’t very close. Anything slight back from super closeup portrait loses a ton of detail, even with hires fix and multiple rounds of upscaling.
What front end are you using? I can try to whip up something and share a json if you’re using comfyui.
A comfyui json would be much appreciated!
One last thing, can you share an example of the sort of art style you’re after? All I know is not realism, 3D pixar style, anime, and super airbrushed.
Sure! The main image of this post is one example.
And here are a few more (all from SD1.5 models):

Need a bit more work on the outlines aspect and will probably want to prompt for more muted/natural colours, but this is as close as I can get for 2am.

The second group is optional, but it’ll more often than not fix up faces and hand errors.
Thanks a lot for making this! I’m starting to have some luck with the Pony model finally. It’s crazy how many resources that model has already.
This account on civitai has many many good examples, but all SD1.5 https://civitai.com/user/TxcTrtl/images?sort=Most+Reactions
