Yeah, I skipped v2.0
There's an internal 2.0, but it didn't achieve what I set out, being pretty hardcore flat colour anime. There's plenty of good models for that already.
Overall making of:
Artium 150%: Artiumv1 + (Artiumv1 - SDXL)*0.5
-> much less likely to default to photo style
Artium_Anima - V0.1: Artium 150% + (Anima_Pencilv1 - SDXL)*0.5
Artium_Anima - V0.2: 0.5*Artium_Anima - V0.1 + 0.5*Artium 150%
Artium_anima - V1.0: Artium_Anima - V0.2 + (Artiumv1 - SDXL)*0.1
Prep1: BluePencil_v401*0.5 + AAM XL*0.5
Artium_anima_v1.2: ArtAn+AAM+BP
Artium_anima_v1.3: Artium_anima_v2: +quietGN_AD20
-> very good version, but didn't seem like a big enough change to publish
Prep2: BluePencil_v5*0.5 + AAM XL*0.5
Prep3: Artium 150%*0.5 + Prep2*0.5
Prep4: Anima_Pencilv2.6 + (quietGN-SDLX)*0.6
Artium_anima_v2: Prep3*0.6 + Prep4*0.4
-> Too much detail lost, flat colours, v1.3 is better
Attempts to improve AAv2:
AAv2.1: AAv2*0.5 + AAv1.3*0.5
AAv2.2: AAv2*0.8 + Av1.0*0.2
AAv2.3: AAv2.1*0.5 + AAv2.2*0.5
-> none are good enough for what I'm trying to achieve
AAv2.4: AAv2.1*0.75 + Av1.0*0.25
AAv2.5: AAv2.1*0.75 + A150*0.25
AAv2.6: AAv1.3*0.75 + AAv2.2*0.25
-> nearly indistinguishable from each other. Pretty good - I ended up using AAv2.6 for a while
AAv3.0: AAv2.6*0.6 + randomaxxArt*0.4
The one I published here. I quite like the Randommaxx Art Merge.
