Frequently asked questions

How do I get a specific anime era rather than generic anime?+
Name the production details: cel shading and visible line weight for the 90s look, soft digital gradients and rim light for modern TV work, heavy screentone for manga. "Anime" alone lands on whatever the model saw most of, which is usually the current mainstream style.
Why do faces come out inconsistent between generations?+
Because the face is where these models have the most training variety and you are giving it the least direction. Fixing eye shape, hair parting and one distinguishing feature in words does more for consistency than any quality tag.
