A branch off CheckPoint from RealCartoon3D

The Process:

This Checkpoint is a branch off from the RealCartoon3D checkpoint. This one's goal is to produce a more "Anime" look; because; well, I like Anime. :) I know there are many out there that do this well (aniwave being one of them). This one is just to share an art style I like. The process is the same as the base checkpoint (RealCartoon3D); but I look for more "Anime" merges. This (like the others) gets updates from RealCartoon3D as well. As with the base model, I try not to use checkpoints that are restricted on merges.

The Settings:

Width: 512 (normally would not adjust unless I flipped the height and width)
Height: 768 (Have done up to 1024, but 768 was my sweet spot)
Sampling Method: "Eular A" became pretty much the default as versions moved along, but "DPM++ SDE Karra" and "DPM++ 2M Karras" are favorites for me as well.
Sampling steps: 30-50 normally (30 being my starting point, but going up to 45 a lot of the time)
Hires.fix settings: Upscaler (R-ESRGAN 4x+, 4k-UltraSharp most of the time), Hires Steps (10), Denoising Str (0.34 - 0.45 normally), Upscale (1.5 or 2 does well)
Clip Skip: 2

Would run ADetailer to help enhance the eyes but many times in the later versions I would not run this as it was not needed.

Why So Many Versions:

Because I wanted to share all the results that I felt reached a desired outcome. Allowed me to have fun, and I saw that many enjoyed them. Which motivated me to keep trying. Again, thank you.
