Krea 2 trained a style I couldn't get into any other model. Midjourney included. It's about time an open source model got there.
I've been sitting on this dataset forever. It's of full-page plates from an early-1900s book of watercolor illustrations (via Public Domain Review). The texture and faded tonal gradients with soft bleeding edges tripped up every model I tried... none could get the aesthetic right with decent prompt adherence.
Krea 2 nailed it.
