ChenkinNoob-XL-V0.2 is now live on Civitai. This update builds on the noobai-XL-1.1 backbone while extending the Danbooru training set through 2025-11-23. Compared to V0.1, you can expect:

Creator：Chenkin

- Sharper character fidelity: better pose stability, facial consistency, and accessory detail thanks to refreshed captions and alignment tweaks.

- Prompt responsiveness: more reliable control over outfits, lighting, and color palettes, especially in multi-character prompts.

- Open pipeline refinements: updated default prompts/negative prompts, plus cleaner metadata to simplify LoRA or LyCORIS fine-tuning.

Recommended baseline:

CFG 5–6, 25–30 steps, Euler a, 1024×1024-class resolutions

Positive: high resolution, aesthetic, excellent, medium resolution, year 2025, newest

Negative: low resolution, e621, Furry, old

New Tag System

V0.2 introduces additional tags to better surface high-quality generations and recent-era aesthetics.

| Tag Type | Label | Description | | ----------- | ----------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Resolution | High Resolution | Image area ≥ 2048 px | | Resolution | Medium Resolution | 1024 px < image area < 2048 px | | Resolution | Low Resolution | Image area ≤ 1024 px | | Aesthetic | Esthetic | Top 100k most liked Danbooru posts | | Aesthetic | Excellent | Top 1M most liked Danbooru posts | | Era | Year YYYY | Explicit year tag (e.g., `year 2025`) | | Era | Range: Newest | Aggregated label for 2022–2025 content | | Era | Range: Old | Aggregated label for 2018 and earlier content |

These labels appear in metadata and recommended prompts so creators can quickly filter for the visual qualities they need.

Stay tuned for V0.3 (ETA January 2026) and the forthcoming anime-focused SDXL all-in-one ControlNet tied to our 1.0 milestone. Join the conversation, share your renders, and let us know how V0.2 performs in your workflows!
