 Version v2.4 update
 
 


 
 IMPORTANT : Use Skip:-2 in ComfyUI because I merge a bit of a Illustrious model !! ( Thanks Marc for feedback!)
 




 After more than 300 fusions, I wanted to propose a new paradigm for my CheyenneSDXL model: hyper illustration. It's not perfect, but it gives me new horizons and the freedom to explore different styles... More versions to come ( back to western comics ).




 
 
 Version v2.2
 
 


 Sorry for the long absence!
 
 Cheyenne V2.2
 
 is definitely more versatile and is capable of offering more types of rendering. I'd say it's a little less 2D and more 2.5D, but don't worry, I've kept some incredible versions created during its manufacture that will fill that gap.


 I'm sticking to low CFGs, which suit me well (max. 3 or 3.5), after which the colors are too saturated for me and a few artifacts may occur. Then you have to test the sampling methods because the results depend on them so much.


 
 Cheyenne v2.2
 
 and my other models are made for pleasure, in my spare time, for my students and my courses. They're free and unique. They reflect my love of art and my passion for images. There's no need to pour out your opinions on their obsolescence, because Flux or anything else, because there's so much better... I know, but I don't care. Consistency at the prompt, realism, all that is great but I'm not looking for THE answer but rather to raise questions.

 __Version CH.01 [ALT] Clean Lineart update_

 This version of Cheyenne is not an official version ( cf. CheyenneV2.0_ ) but rather an interesting alternative for certain features, and for this one, it's its clear and precise lineart, flat colors and beautiful gradients.


 So if you're looking for a less organic, more cartoony version of Cheyenne, perhaps this version will suit your projects. As this is a tuned version of the original, the addons are fully compatible for even greater flexibility.)


 Trigger words: graphic novels, comics, sketch, lineart, illustration, inking, watercolor

 This update is my most ambitious to date and I hope you'll enjoy it... I know there's Flux, SD3.5, etc... but I think there's still a bit of room for models that are a bit more personal and with a bit more writing... I'm still giving this approach a try and thanks to those who follow me!


 V2.0: More mature, more ‘Painting’ and ‘Matte painting’ oriented, I've refined the lineart which is more precise, I've reworked the hands a bit even though there are still some small problems but I really like this version (and others made during the training, but I'll be making LORAS as an add-on, I think).


 This version is extremely sensitive to the nature of the sampler, steps and CFG so you'll have to test what's best for you but overall :

<ul>
 <li>
 
 DPM++ 2M // 10-30 steps // CFG 1-5 will essentially do the job.
 
 </li>
 <li>
 
 DPM++ 2M SDE and DPM++ 3M SDE are excellent alternatives, with images that are often crisper and more accomplished (but less sticky to the prompt).
 
 </li>
</ul>

<blockquote>
 
 So what's new?
 
</blockquote>

 A massive update of styles and flexibility (this involves better management of the CFG, which now plays an essential role! From 1.5 (rougher, sketchy) to 4-5 (good medium mix) to 7-8 (more contrast, flatter, outline)... and also more realism (so comics, or graphic novels illustration are the basic keywords for using Cheyenne 1.6)

<ul>
 <li>
 Able to go from a painting style to flat colour, with or without outline, all the usual keywords are present: painting, comics, outline, ink, drawing, etc...
 </li>
</ul>

 More influence on the style of European comics: Hergé, Spirou, Franquin, Uderzo, Gibrat, Moebius, etc. are now recognisable. There's a bit of Manga, but very little: Ghibli, Junjo Ito, Makoto Shinkai, etc.


 CHEYENNE V1.4 is a MASSIVE update! It's just incredible ! I'll let you discover the images in the gallery but I'm really happy with this update. I hope you like it as much as I do.


 The concept remains the same: a European-style cartoon-comics model, with the aim of making comics, charadesign and concept-art for video games that is creative, highly graphic and flexible... This version satisfies me in every way...


 Note: You may get more realistic renderings than expected but add lineart, graphic novels, or any other related term to change that. Side effect to change a bit the Manga Bias..


 .CFG : 1.5 ( grungy, creative ) -&gt; 4-6 BEST -&gt; 8 ( vibrant, finish )


 Sampler : DPM++ 2M Karras ( outline, classic ) // DPM++ 2M SDE Exponential ( more vibrant ! )
