AnimeBoysXL v1.0

It takes substantial time and efforts to bake models. If you appreciate my models, I would be grateful if you could support me on Ko-fi ☕.

Negative Prompt
lowres, (bad:1.05), text, error, missing, extra, fewer, cropped, jpeg artifacts, worst quality, bad quality, watermark, bad aesthetic, unfinished, chromatic aberration, scan, scan artifacts, 1girl, breasts, realistic, lips, nose

Prompt
1boy, solo, male focus, hoodie, grey hoodie, hood, hood up, close-up, sleepy, short hair, bara, undercut, stubble, black hair, green eyes, parted lips, white background, simple background, best quality, amazing quality, best aesthetic, absurdres, year 2023

lowres, (bad:1.05), text, error, missing, extra, fewer, cropped, jpeg artifacts, worst quality, bad quality, watermark, bad aesthetic, unfinished, chromatic aberration, scan, scan artifacts, 1girl, breasts

Features

✔️ Good for inference: AnimeBoysXL is a flexible model which is good at generating images of anime boys and males-only content in a wide range of styles.
✔️ Good for training: AnimeBoysXL is suitable for further training, thanks to its neutral style and ability to recognize a great deal of concepts. Feel free to train your own anime boy model/LoRA from AnimeBoysXL.
❌ AnimeBoysXL is not optimized for creating anime girls. Please consider using other models for that purpose.

Inference Guide

Prompt: Use tag-based prompts to describe your subject.
- Append , best quality, amazing quality, best aesthetic, absurdres to the prompt to improve image quality.
- (Optional) Append , year YYYY to the prompt to shift the output toward the prevalent style of that year. YYYY is a 4 digit year, e.g. , year 2023
Negative prompt: Choose from one of the following two presets.
1. Heavy (recommended): lowres, (bad:1.05), text, error, missing, extra, fewer, cropped, jpeg artifacts, worst quality, bad quality, watermark, bad aesthetic, unfinished, chromatic aberration, scan, scan artifacts, 1girl, breasts
2. Light: lowres, jpeg artifacts, worst quality, watermark, blurry, bad aesthetic, 1girl, breasts
- (Optional) Add , realistic, lips, nose to the negative prompt if you need a flat anime-like style face.
VAE: Make sure you're using SDXL VAE.
Sampling method, sampling steps and CFG scale: I find (Euler a, 28, 5) good. You are encouraged to experiment with other settings.
Width and height: 832*1216 for portrait, 1024*1024 for square, and 1216*832 for landscape.

🧨Diffusers Example Usage

import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("Koolchh/AnimeBoysXL-v1.0", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True, variant="fp16")
pipe.to("cuda")

prompt = ", best quality, amazing quality, best aesthetic, absurdres"
negative_prompt = "lowres, (bad:1.05), text, error, missing, extra, fewer, cropped, jpeg artifacts, worst quality, bad quality, watermark, bad aesthetic, unfinished, chromatic aberration, scan, scan artifacts, 1girl, breasts"

image = pipe(
    prompt=prompt, 
    negative_prompt=negative_prompt, 
    width=1024,
    height=1024,
    guidance_scale=5,
    num_inference_steps=28

`best quality`	>= 150
`amazing quality`	[100, 150)
`great quality`	[75, 100)
`normal quality`	[0, 75)
`bad quality`	(-5, 0)
`worst quality`	<= -5

Aesthetic tags

tag	score
`best aesthetic`	>= 6.675
`great aesthetic`	[6.0, 6.675)
`normal aesthetic`	[5.0, 6.0)
