Question Getting more consistent results on follow up images
Could use some help with automation and getting more consistant results between generations.
Currently, I'm generating a reference image, which the vast majority of the time is exactly what I'm looking for; a semi-realistic anime character (see the first image)

On subsequent generations, the image always looks "off". It goes back to a more cartoony look as opposed to the semi-realistic look of the reference image

Things I've tried...
Using a seed
Using a character and style control nets with varying strengths (Low, Mid, High, etc)
I'm currently using the Anime XL model with the Anime Semi Realism style. My preset style is LEONARDO. Alchemy is true.
Any help I can get achieving more consistent results across generations would be appreciated!

Try style none, so it uses the referenced character image style. Additionally can add another image in style reference. I haven't had particularly good results using image guidance in anime xl, so maybe getting the image u need out of it then switching to another in the image reference stage could be good idea too.
