CarbonMix is a high quality anime model. It was tweaked and merged many times until I got a model matching my preferences. I used a weighted block merge to get it where I wanted it.
Recommendations:
Highresfix will create more clear faces and higher quality artwork.
Upscaler: 4x-AnimeSharp or R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B, plenty of other upscalers will work great too.

Do not use restore faces
Clip skip: 2
Resolution: Try starting with a resolution which has 512 pixels in width or height, 512x768, or 768x512 for example.
VAE: V4 has baked VAE, set to auto, or override with VAE of choice. For other versions use a VAE recommend for anime style.
I appreciate ❤️ any positive reviews and generations, it will help me make more stuff.
