Studio Ghibli Redmond LoRA: Ghibli Style on SD 2.1 / SDXL

TL;DR

What This Model Does

Studio Ghibli Redmond is a LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) that teaches Stable Diffusion to generate images in the unmistakable Studio Ghibli style: soft watercolor backgrounds, expressive character designs, magical fantasy environments, and the characteristic color palettes seen in films like Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and My Neighbor Totoro.

The model was created by ArtificialGuyBR with GPU compute sponsored by Redmond.AI, trained on a large dataset of Ghibli-style artwork.

Base Model Discrepancy

There's a conflict between the two model hosts: Source | Base Model Claimed

|--------|-------------------

HuggingFace | SDXL 1.0 (stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0) Civitai | SD 2.1 (Freedom Redmond SD 2.1) The model filename includes "2.1V" which strongly suggests SD 2.1 lineage. The HuggingFace metadata may reflect where the model was uploaded rather than where it was trained. Recommendation: try loading it on both SD 2.1 and SDXL bases and compare results.
