I have been upscaling the public images that don't have a high resolution shared too with waifu2x, you can see a result how it looks here
I can upload it again however.The upscales look great! Speaking for myself ofc but I believe 1061x1500 (2,5$) is perfectly fine and enough. Could you please reupload at least some of it? Since sarge55 's post is missing art prior to 201.I have been upscaling the public images that don't have a high resolution shared too with waifu2x, you can see a result how it looks hereYou must be registered to see the linksconsidering everything is pretty good imo, one thing that I notice while doing this, is that most of the public images on the patreon have more quality that the ones on the site, notice difference in fact, just so you know.
I even had a mega folder with the upscales from 1~281 that didn't have a shared hi-res version, but after sarge55 shared his mid-res rewards I deleted everything to update
Yeah those where what I included in the compilation, along with some highres that were on sankaku that weren't on kemono.
I tried downloading the public version of some images from the kemono patreon and from the site to compare and they were the same filesizes, couldn't notice a difference either from what I could see. If you're talking about the lower res version of the public ones with 850x601 or whatever in the filenames when you save them from the site, you could open them in another tab and remove the "-850x601" or something from the url to get the actual public version of the image, like so
Yes, you're right, my bad. Mixdrop has really slow upload and at the moment that I was writing it I was still in the middle of downloading your collection for which I thank you
Yeah... that's what I was talking about, when I tried to rip his site like 7 months ago using HTTP Downloader, most of the "few" files it could rip were these low quality ones, because I couldn't download everything before the site went offline due to the shitty host he uses, and as you probably have noticed by now this host has a serious bandwith limitation being offline constantly, in the time I did this the site was at least 3 days offline and I simply gave up and preferred to look elsewhere for better quality images.
Ah yeah it does go down quite a bit, but all the illustrations being on one page is kinda convenient. That 3x upscale looks great tho, could only do 2x with my own upscales since I can't get waifu2x caffe to work with using GPU so I'm kinda stuck with CPU processing which took me hours lmao. Would also be glad too if you do decide to reupload your upscales
Woah thanks for sharing, that's some top notch stuff.Ok, I took some time to update my NeoCoill archive and look at the files Britchje shared and compare them with mine, especially the public updates between 1-140 to avoid share something missing, since these older updates are the most complicated to find complete since they are not available on kemono.party. Thanks to his archive, I was able to better rename some files and I found some images that I was missing or with higher resolution that I used to improve the quality of some of my public upscales (I'm not sure if these files are some kind of old Mid-Res because they are mostly 1200px or 1000px instead of 1500px, just in case their folder is still tagged as public), some images with higher resolution on the other hand are not used (mostly the .png ones) because they are just upscales of the public ones.
NeoCoill (Upscale) Compilation 1~284
You must be registered to see the links
A summary of what is inside the file:
Updates between 1~284 (all folders are tagged if the content is Public, Mid-Res or Hi-Res to be easily to spot it), updates that don't have a Mid-Res/Hi-Res version available were replaced by the public version upscaled to x2550/2550x, thanks to sarge55 only updates between 1~200 and 284 have public versions, 201 through 283 are all Mid-Res or Hi-Res, however keep in mind that my update has no .psd files and no step files since I have no reason to archive them, download from sarge55 link if you want those files.
Some updates from 1 to 46 may have line art doodles missing, most are intentional and I didn't bother to include them because I don't care for them, but I kept all the doodles that had the Hi-Res version available that are not steps. Update 11 has a image missing of an Original Character, I never came across with this image and not even in the files shared by Britchje has it.
Stats of the updates:
- 102 Public Updates (all upscale to 2550px, some public folders may have a "original" Hi-Res or a Mid-Res upscale image inside which was shared loosely on the internet, you can check it by the tag in the filename)
- 63 Mid-Res Updates
- 119 Hi-Res Updates
- All files are lossless optimized using
You must be registered to see the links- Why the output is a .png file trough the input is a .jpeg file? Because waifu2x-caffe upscale the images from "scratch" so if you use .jpeg as output the new image will have less quality than the .png one
While comparing what I have here with was uploaded by Britchje, besides the files that I was missing or that he had a better file, I realized that some updates that he shared are also missing some files or had better files already shared on the internet that are available inside my compilation, follows the differences that I noticed:

I will start slowing converting Mid-Res shared by sarge55 to 2550px and updated it when I finish, it will take some time bacuse my GPU is only a GTX 1060, so it is not one of the fastest to use with waifu2x (though it only uses 60% of the GPU), even more while using TTA mode that is 8x slower than the normal mode, but it provides better results, on the other hand the Mid-Res upscale time to 2550px is shorter than the public ones that are only 850px, takes more or less 6.5 minutes to do a 15 pictures upscale as reference.
Btw here is a comparisonYou must be registered to see the linkswith an original Hi-Res vs a upscale Mid-Res 1.7x , imo is almost imperceptible the differences if you are not looking for them, which makes me wonder if the older updates that are not explicitly Hi-Res are really Hi-Res
Sorry about the wall of text, even more because I hate it too, but at the same time, I suck at summarizing things lol
