Fresh Ink

Introduction

Fresh Ink is a text-to-image model developed by Yntec, which combines the Tantrum and HELLMix models with a style enhancement using "Cute and Fresh" Lora. The model is designed to generate high-quality, anime-style illustrations with an emphasis on cuteness and a distinctive "j_guofeng" style.

Architecture

Fresh Ink merges two base models, Tantrum and HELLMix, using the SuperMerger technique to integrate the Cute and Fresh Lora. This results in a model capable of producing detailed and stylistically consistent images, especially focusing on anime and cartoon themes.

Training

The training process involved merging base models and stylistic Loras, with a specific focus on preserving high-quality and consistent stylistic elements. The model was fine-tuned to emphasize features like big black eyes and cute expressions, commonly found in anime illustrations.

Guide: Running Locally

To run the Fresh Ink model locally:

1. Set up the environment: Install the necessary libraries, including diffusers for handling the model architecture.
2. Obtain the model: Download the Fresh Ink model from the Hugging Face Hub or relevant repositories.
3. Load the model: Use the Hugging Face API or locally stored files to load the model into your environment.
4. Generate images: Use text prompts with specific keywords like "j_guofeng" to generate images in the desired style.

For enhanced performance, consider using cloud GPUs such as those offered by Google Cloud or AWS to manage computational demands.
