V1.0:

• Positioning: Designed for anime half-body/upper body close-up portraits and character showcases; emphasizes facial sharpness, hair strands, and highlights, compatible with Danbooru tag syntax for Illustrious / NoobAI / NAI.
• Style Features: Translucent lighting, clean skin texture, soft volumetric light + richly detailed accessories/clothing folds; strong expressive power for themes like "stage neon / rainy night reflections / cool moonlight / snow crystals".
• Best Composition: Upper body close-up or 3/4 view, normal perspective; facial clarity can be enhanced using face focus, sharp focus, iris detail, eyelashes detail, catchlight.

Recommended Parameters (General Settings)

Sampler & Steps

• Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras / Euler a
• Steps: 28–40 (use 36–40 when there are many upper body details)

CFG Scale

• 5.5–7.0 (commonly 6 or 6.5; reduce to 5.5 for a more natural look if the style feels too intense)

Hires.fix / High-res Fix (Strongly Recommended)

• Upscale factor: 1.5–2.0×
• Upscaler: Latent (nearest/antialiased) or 4x-AnimeSharp
• Denoising strength: 0.22–0.35 (0.25–0.3 recommended for portraits, preserving composition while adding details)

Others

• Clip Skip: 2 (commonly used for NAI/SD 1.5 series; keep default for SDXL)
• Seed: Fixed seed for reproducible compositions; use -1 for random exploration.
• Artist/Style Weight: (artist:quasarcake:0.6~0.9); when combining multiple artists, avoid setting the total weight too high to prevent style clashes.
• Face Detailer (Optional): If using ADetailer/FaceDetailer, keep the threshold moderate to avoid a "waxy face" effect.
