Brand-new checkpoints series where a model is merged and upgrade with only my resources (own LoRAs and datasets). Targeting a sweet style, colorful, pleasant and cute.
Entrance :
First paths, the base model is 0.7xMIX_11 + 0.15xMIX_8 + 0.15xMIX_12, 19 homemade LoRAs were added to the model with high strength, values had been tweaked to keep at the end the best output. Kind of a half-trained checkpoint.
Warning : during testing, I found that 2 of the negative embeddings I used in the past were hardly impacting the style, by getting rid of them, I could have access to a better and more colorful style.
4 Groups were made to ease the tweaking, see screenshot :
(It is like merging 19 models that are having one LoRA attached to it with high strength)
Settings recommended :
Sampler : Euler a + Automatic/uniform
Steps : 27-30
CFG : 7-8
Hires Fix : R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B or 4x-UltraSharp + Denoising strength 0.5-0.7 and 20 Steps (upscale x1)
Upscale : img2img x1.5 - Denoising strength around 0.5 (lower if good input, higher if more corrections needed)
Edit : Controlnet, openpose, depth (midas), Krita AI diffusion -> use Alternative - Euler A Preset, live mode to add or remove things (select area with selection tools)
Enhance : after img2img and other editing, -> Extras tab, upscale x2 with R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B or 4x-UltraSharp ;
R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B -> Better colors and anime looking
4x-UltraSharp -> More realistic, more details
Other Working Samplers :
DPM++ 2M, DDIM, Restart, UniPC -> bad with Hires Fix
DPM++ 3M SDE (expo/polyexpo) / DPM++ 2S a / DPM++ 2M SDE -> compatible Hires Fix
Comparison with CSA series :
Style : +
Stability : - (removal of negative embeddings and high strength LoRAs)
Creativity : += (do more easily heterochromia, gradient hair and monster girls)
Prompt listening : += (trained with booru tags, better identification of some concepts like thin legs, shiny skin...)
Render time : =
Aging : Younger (could add chibi in negative prompt to avoid big heads)
Hope you will have fun with this heavenly checkpoint !
Last but not least, since there is a strong influence of WingedCloud and Blue-senpai artists, the model is kinda naughty so don't hesitate to put nsfw in negative prompt ;).
