Hello everyone, this is my second creation featuring Akane Tendo from Ranma, but with long hair and in the SDXL version. I think Akane Tendo looks kawaii with long hair. My goal with each piece is to faithfully recreate the animation style and character traits. I really love Rumiko Takahashi’s soft art style from the early stages of Ranma, which is something that current animations lack.
version 2.0 is the official version, while version 1.0 was just an experimental one. The difference between them is like the comparison between the Prototype Unit-00 and the Unit-01 from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Compared to version 1.0, version 2.0 can precisely control Akane's clothing and has 20 times more AI training data. This gives version 2.0 the exquisite artistic style of the early Ranma animations, with detailed visuals and smooth lines, making it look like a screenshot from an actual anime, virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. I am very satisfied with the results of version 2.0.
In the future, I may release Lora models for Kasumi Tendo, Nabiki Tendo, and Shampoo, but these won't be available soon. I am a working professional and don't have a lot of time. The future plans for Akane include adding more outfits and a more refined short hair version. Version 2.0 supports a short hair option, but the effect might not be optimal due to limited training material.
Please remember, the prompt words: retro artstyle and tendoakane are essential.
