V3.1 – Featuring Illustrious V2 and RouWei v0.8

This checkpoint is crafted to find the sweet spot between Toon and Anime, bringing together the best elements of both styles.

✨ The idea behind it:

A detailed look… but not too detailed

Toon-like anatomy… but not overly toon

Anime-inspired coloring… but not fully anime

That balance is the core philosophy of this project.

Naturally, some versions may lean more toward Toon or Anime, but the goal is always to keep harmony between the two. If the latest release doesn’t fully match your taste, don’t hesitate to explore earlier versions—you might discover the balance you’re looking for.

Limiting things too much isn’t always the best approach, so in the future this checkpoint might take a fresh turn—becoming more anime-oriented or swinging back toward toon.

💡 What you see is what you get: previews are shown as-is, with no hires fix, adetailer, inpaint, or post-processing—so small errors may be visible, but the results you see are the results you’ll get.

This is always up to personal preference, but the configuration I use to test the model—and that works well for me—is the following:

Steps: 40

Resolution: 836x1254

Sampler: Euler A or DPM++ 2M Karras

CFG Scale: 7
