RealCartoon-Konkou

Hello all.

I was really wanting to test out this "Tensor.art" exclusive thing but did not want to remove the main models from any site they are currently on. So, instead of doing that I decided to test it with a fun variation of the RealCartoon series. Thus Konkou! I hope you all enjoy it and share your work!!

This model is a mix (thus the name Konkou) of some variations of RealCartoon. The base model is still RealCartoon3D (A version not released yet V16), but in the process of working on another version I will always get variations that do not make it to the main update. Most of the time I hang on to them because I really like the results (until too much space is taken...then I get REAL picky causing many to get deleted forever); but these versions normally just do not do enough to justify an "update". I was thinking about putting these in the special edition, but then some of the variations do not really scream "new model" or "version". Sometimes I will mix in my other models (PIXAR, REALISTIC, ANIME) to see the results and then progress it further to see if it fits with what I am looking for.

This model though, had a rather nice look that I felt did not belong in PIXAR and was not quite what I was looking for for the 3D line....but it looked nice and was very clean in the overall aesthetic. So, I wanted to share with you all and test this tensor.art thing :) If this model gets some traction on this site; then I may work on more versions.

Prompt Settings:

(These settings are for A1111 ):

The below image is the top settings I recommend. I do not use a VAE normally as a VAE is baked in. This model contains one I have not used for a bit and that is, ClearVAE_V2.3.safetensors is baked in. I ran a lot of images with no errors, so I hope it works out the same for you.

Below are the normal settings I do run when generating most of my images.

Some variation of course happens depending on the desired outcome (I.E. Landscape). I also like to make portrait 512 by 904 as well. I only run batches when I am checking checkpoints or looking for that perfect image. This is normally set to 1

Sampling methods DPM++ SDE Karra and DPM++ 2M Karras do well as well.

Upscaler is either R-ESRGAN 4x+ or 4k-UltraSharp for most of my images.

The Upscale settings will vary depending on your computer.

Would run ADetailer if subject is in the distance as SD1.5 can sometimes fail at faces with distance people. Be careful if you have blurred subjects in backgrounds; as this can start "enhancing them" and thus mess with the overall look.

If you are having problems running A1111 you can change the "webui-user.bat" settings to help (by right clicking and opening in notepad):

• set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --xformers

If you do not have xformers or cannot install it, put the following instead:

• set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --disable-model-loading-ram-optimization --opt-sdp-no-mem-attention

Prompt Recommendations:

When it comes to prompts that is really up to you. Here is some advice:

1. Please be careful on the strength you add to LoRas as this can affect the overall look with the checkpoint. Stronger does not always mean better. I normally run 0.4 - 1 strengths depending on the LoRa.

2. What is first in your prompt has higher priority.

3. Having parentheses increases a priority, but having everything in them is almost as good as typing without them.

4. Subtle changes in a prompt (to include punctuation) can change the image

5. The seed helps in producing similar images with similar software and settings. It does not guarantee the same image as even a difference in software (I.E. ComfyUI) or hardware can affect it.

6. If you want a more cartoon look (at least with this checkpoint) use the following near the front of the prompt: Anime, Cartoon, painted, or comic. This does not guarantee a look depending on the version; but it will lean more that way. This also works for Realistic looks (Realistic, real, etc).

7. If you want Safe for work or not nudity to show up then make sure you put the following in your negative prompt: nude, nudity, naked, NSFW, nipples. Of course if you have this in your actual prompt then it will more then likely do it.

8. The following is what I normally run in a negative prompt (you can click on easynagative or badhandv4 to get the files):

   easynegative,(badhandv4),(bad quality:1.3),(worst quality:1.3),watermark,(blurry),5-funny-looking-fingers

   NOTE: Badhandv4 is an embedding. So goes in the embedding folder of A1111
