I’ve been trying to transition from SD1.5 to SDXL for a while, but old prompting habits die hard.

Even more difficult was finding a model to produce the look I prefer. Most seem to love realism, 3D pixar style, anime, and super airbrushed.

If you have any tips for SDXL models, loras, prompting for this style, etc. please let me know!

parameters:

1girl, demon woman with bangs and ram horns and wings, holding bloody human heart, solo, sitting with knees up, (full body:0.6), looking at viewer, (dark fantasy theme:1.1) (glowing eyes:1.05), thick lines, flat shading

Negative prompt: low quality, deformed, embedding:negativeXL_D, embedding:unaestheticXL_Sky3.1,

Steps: 10, Sampler: dpmpp_3m_sde_simple, CFG scale: 1.0, Seed: 212036223314935, Size: 1024x1024, Model hash: 268a170aa6, Model: grogmixTURBO_v10

(and some inpainting/upscaling)

    One last thing, can you share an example of the sort of art style you’re after? All I know is not realism, 3D pixar style, anime, and super airbrushed.

      Sure! The main image of this post is one example.
      And here are a few more (all from SD1.5 models):

        Need a bit more work on the outlines aspect and will probably want to prompt for more muted/natural colours, but this is as close as I can get for 2am.

        The second group is optional, but it’ll more often than not fix up faces and hand errors.
