SR-Alpha aims to combine comic art style with semi-realistic textures.
I highly recommend inpainting for best results and to unlock the full potential of the merge. Separate inpainting model not required.
To help with inpainting human features, I have also been tinkering with this extension called !After Detailer, which automatically detects and "fixes" the portion of the image being generated via txt2img depending on the "ADetailer" model used, notably the models for the hands and face which I use most often.
PS: As I have not updated this merge in quite a long time, I no longer remember the exact models used for versions 1-1.2. I believe that with the new update, the old versions would be rendered obsolete.
