Welcome to Pastel Mix - a stylized latent diffusion model. This model is intended to produce high-quality, highly detailed anime style with just a few prompts.

This model is made with the thought of imitating pastel-like art and the potential of mixing LORAs into a model altogether to create a fantastic mix. Recipe for this mix could be found below. Like other anime-style Stable Diffusion models, it also supports danbooru tags to generate images.

e.g. masterpiece, best quality, upper body, 1girl, looking at viewer, red hair, medium hair, purple eyes, demon horns, black coat, indoors, dimly lit

How to download with Git

git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/andite/pastel-mix

🧨 Diffusers

This model can be used just like any other Stable Diffusion model. For more information, please have a look at the Stable Diffusion.

You can also export the model to ONNX, MPS and/or FLAX/JAX.

python

from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline
import torch

model_id = "andite/pastel-mix"
pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16)
pipe = pipe.to("cuda")

prompt = "hatsune_miku"
image = pipe(prompt).images[0]

image.save("./hatsune_miku.png")

Gradio

We support a Gradio Web UI to run pastel-mix:

So what the hell is the 'better-vae' version?

I merged the pastel-waifu-diffusion.vae.pt inside the model so you don't have to set up the vae anymore.

life so much ez now since you don't have to download the vae and set it up right?

What is pastelmix-lora.safetensors?

It's a lora version which is made from extracting the loras from pastel-mix using a script that is similar to add-difference method.

Guide

For the settings or parameters, I recommend using these settings.

Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras

Steps: 20

CFG Scale: 7

Hires. Fix: On

Upscaler: Latent (MUST!)

Hires Steps: 20

Denoising Strength: 0.

I prefer using 0.6 since it's the sweet spot of this model. If you can find a better setting for this model, then good for you lol.

Latent upscaler is the best setting for me since it retains or enhances the pastel style. Other upscalers like Lanczos or Anime6B tends to smoothen them out, removing the pastel-like brushwork.

Please use the VAE that I uploaded in this repository. It is from the Waifu Diffusion team. Credits to haru for letting me rename and upload it.

Tip (Optional)

Putting mksks style in the beginning of the prompt can further influence the pastel-like style and make the output better. It is optional though, so it's up to you. You don't really need it.
