PONY VERSION IS IN ALPHA! READ BELOW BEFORE DOWNLOADING!
Mistoon_Anime is my blend of SD models that tries to achieve a more "cartoony" anime style with thick borders and brighter colors. The aim of this model is not to mimic a particular style, but to achieve an aestethic I like.
This merge has been created using a lot of different models. In the start I've used popular models (and also nieche ones), but now I'm mostly using my custom LoRAs to finetune the model in the way I like.
This model is oriented towards creating girls portraits, but the V2 and V3 is also capable of creating male characters in a convincing way.
If you plan to do some inpainting there is also an inpainting version available for you to download.
The idea behind Mistoon_Anime is to achieve the modern anime style while keeping it as colorful as possible. A lot of checkpoints available now are mostly based on anime illustrations oriented towards 2.5, but I prefer the bright 2d anime aesthetic.
It creates realistic and expressive characters with a "cartoony" twist. Unlike other anime models that tend to have muted or dark colors, Mistoon_Anime uses bright and vibrant colors to make the characters stand out.
This model can easily do both SFW and NSFW stuff (V1 has a bias towards NSFW keep that in mind).

Pony (Alpha)
After a long wait the alpha for the Mistoon Anime pony version is here! There are a few things you'll need to know:
All my generations have been done with:
Sampler: Euler A
Scheduler: SGM Uniform
CFG: 2,5/3
Width/Height: 768x1152 -> 1024x1536 -> 1280x1920
Sampling Steps: 8
My workflow is the same as usual:
Generate a bunch of 768x1152 pictures
Choose the best one and send it to img2img
Run the same prompt but with higher resolution (1024x1536) and denoising set to 0.5
Take the best result and send it again to img2img
Run again with higher resolution (1280x1920) and denoising set to 0.2
Right now, there are a few issues (and that's the reason I consider this to be an alpha):
Sometimes the area around the eyes is distorted due to excessive training
Sometimes the colors are off, especially in areas hit by sunlight
It's not as flexible as the base pony model
It does not always maintain a consistent style

In the past few months I've had a lot of people asking me why their pictures are not as detailed or clean as mine. I've written a few articles about SD, but if you want to learn my exact workflow I highly recommend you to check out my latest one: My Workflow
If you want to test this (or other models), I have made an extension to help me create pictures using a variety of different tags. The previews images have been generated using my custom extension Ranbooru which scrapes tags from random images on gelbooru, safebooru and rule34.
