Stiletto

Stiletto: Sharp Lines. Bold Vision.

Stiletto is a high-performance model designed to bridge the gap between western webtoon aesthetics and professional digital illustration. It excels at producing high-contrast, "crunchy" visuals characterized by aggressive line work and clean, vibrant fills. Whether you are looking for production-ready comic assets or high-fidelity references for traditional media, Stiletto delivers a refined, modern edge. It can manage both a western or anime style depending on your prompt.

The Aesthetic

Stiletto focuses on a "digital-forward" look. By leveraging a custom architecture designed for clarity, it eliminates muddy textures in favor of:

• Aggressive Geometry: Highly defined, tapering outlines that mimic professional inking.

• Vibrant Flatness: A sophisticated approach to flat coloring that prioritizes color theory and composition over heavy gradients.

• Versatility: Optimized for everything from vertical-scroll webcomic panels to high-impact phone wallpapers.

Technical Specifications & Recipes

To achieve the signature "Stiletto" look, use the following recommended settings:

• Sampler: Euler Ancestral (Euler a)

• VAE: Kl_Optimal

• CFG Scale: 4.0 – 6.0 (Sweet spot for maintaining style consistency)

• Steps: 20 – 40

• Core Style Tags: (sharp outlines:1.3), flat colors

The "Behind the Scenes" Build

This model is the result of a complex, multi-stage merge process. It utilizes a Dare-Ties hybrid approach combined with manual baking via ComfyUI. By integrating LoRAs directly into the weights using these precision methods, the model maintains a high degree of prompt adherence without the "style-bleeding" often found in simpler merges. This is currently part of my fresh testing, I hope to further improve once I fully understand the variables and what are the most viable options, I am close to leaving illustrious base and going on to Anima or more recent models, so enjoy.
