Aetheria ✨

A dreamy anime foundation model evolved from Aetherveil, refined into a more atmospheric, cinematic, and painterly experience.

Aetheria is a heavily modified evolution of my earlier model, Aetherveil, which forms a core part of the merge and artistic foundation behind this release. While Aetherveil focused more on clean modern anime rendering, Aetheria expands that vision into something softer, more emotional, and far more immersive.

The goal with Aetheria was not just “higher quality anime images,” but creating a model with a recognizable visual identity; one that emphasizes atmosphere, lighting, mood, and storytelling as much as character detail.

The result is a model that blends:

modern anime rendering
painterly softness
cinematic lighting
environmental atmosphere
emotional composition
elegant color harmony

into a cohesive aesthetic that feels dreamy, alive, and visually rich.

Unlike many overly sharp or plastic-looking anime models, Aetheria leans into natural light bloom, subtle texture, warm grading, and environmental integration. Characters feel like they belong inside their worlds instead of being pasted on top of backgrounds.

Aetheria excels at:

Ethereal fantasy characters
Soft painterly anime art
Emotional atmosphere & storytelling
Elegant lighting and bloom
Detailed clothing & accessories
Nature-heavy environments
Cozy interiors and golden-hour scenes
Stylized sci-fi heroines
Cute kemonomimi & fantasy races
RPG-inspired character art
Cinematic framing and depth
Expressive eyes and facial rendering

The model performs especially well with:

fantasy elves
catgirls / kemonomimi
painterly portraits
cinematic adventure scenes
fantasy fashion
emotional character pieces
atmospheric landscapes
cozy anime aesthetics
soft sci-fi visuals
warm sunlight & volumetric lighting

Outputs typically feature:

soft cinematic lighting
painterly atmosphere
clean anatomy
detailed fabrics and accessories
natural color transitions
immersive environmental depth
expressive compositions
elegant visual cohesion

Aetheria can comfortably move between fantasy, slice-of-life, cozy interiors, cinematic sci-fi, emotional portraits, and action-heavy anime scenes while maintaining its signature soft atmospheric style.

Recommended Prompting

Being Anima at its base, Aetheria responds best to natural descriptive prompts and/or booru tags combined with concise style and lighting direction.

Examples:

elf girl in a sunlit forest, flowing white hair, fantasy dress, cinematic lighting, painterly anime style
stylish cyberpunk bounty hunter firing pistol, dynamic action pose, teal lighting, anime cinematic composition

The model particularly loves:

fantasy storytelling vibes
