v2 (latest)
anima_pencil-XL_clear_v2 | anima_pencil-XL_clear_v1
v2 has been tuned to work well with the standard Euler sampler and low CFG scale. This significantly reduces the color burning that commonly occurs at high CFG values, resulting in more natural color expression.
Compared to v1 on the right, the output from anima_pencil-XL_clear_v2 on the left has more vibrant and lively colors.
On the other hand, to create a cleaner look, the backgrounds have been simplified compared to v1.
Recommended Settings (v2)
- CFG scale: 2-4
- Sampler: Euler
- Scheduler: beta
- Steps: 12-20 (around 15)
Quality Tags and Negative Prompts are not always necessary.
