Civitai has this "Quality Learning Center" — the name's a meme but the style's actually pretty cool.

There’s this model called “Quality Learing Center” — yeah, the typo in the name is intentional, the author’s description is a whole set of finance jokes, pretty fun.

Jokes aside, here’s the real deal: it’s a merge of HassakuXL and minij_e2, aiming for a Western/anime hybrid with a city vector vibe. The author says they wanted to tone down the anime look and push it more towards Western-style faces, but V1 didn’t quite nail it, so they’re planning to dial it back even more in V2.

When generating images, you get sharp, solid outlines, flat coloring, and high-contrast vibrant colors — none of that blurry, mushy texture stuff. If you want that vector illustration feel, throw “flat color” into your prompt and it’ll bring out the vector vibe. Overall, it’s a pretty different direction from your typical general-purpose anime checkpoint. If you’re into clean, crisp styles, give it a shot.

The “flat color” tag is actually pretty useful for getting that vector-like feel.

LOL the author bio is hilarious, wrapping a legit model in some finance meme for no reason :joy:

HassakuXL’s base model usually produces pretty decent quality when you merge it.

Yeah, the V1 for Western-style faces is still leaning too anime-ish. Waiting for V2.

Hard outlines and flat colors are perfect for stickers and icons.

Haha, the typo in the title is actually kinda memorable, reverse marketing at its finest.

V1’s western-style faces really do lean anime, but using it for flat icons actually doesn’t run into that problem
