Compared to v1.x versions, this new version v2 brings following good news:
Model style more close to typical 2D. This is something about shadow. We know 2D images also need shadow, and what I have tried for this version is to make shadow less volumetric (less like 3D).
Improved prompt understanding. Previous version sometimes ignores or misdraw colors, such as drawing cyan/purple as black (however, please note that Highres Fix can cause color shift). It is better on this issue now. Also, this version also seems to understand or do better on more Booru tags.
Probably better "logic". In previous versions, there were often illogical parts in the image (such as the sea level on either side of the characters not being equally high, or very serious non-parallelism when drawing railroad tracks). Although I do NOT think merging can eliminate the problem, I believe the problem is more or less mitigated when I test the new model.
Possibly better quality on low-end or outdated GPUs. This time I made more tests on my ancient laptop (with a GPU from the GTX 900M era) under the WebUI's lowvram mode.
Eleet v2 also brings some impacts questionable, or possiblely negative:
Cloud style changes. I believe that it tends to draw clouds in the sky in a different way from the previous version.
Sunlight style changes. Seems that the new version prefers to draw golden sunlight in the sky even there is no sun in the image. Sometimes this causes weird light and shadow relations or unsuitable yellowish-purple color in the sky.
