XenTAI - A ******** Hentai Checkpoint with a Xenos Twist
There are a ton of great hentai checkpoints. And there are a ton of great realistic **** checkpoints. But the one thing I've been missing is a good porny checkpoint with a more Western Comic/Cartoon style. And so, after many different attempts to get something that fit into that box, this is the result.
General Info
If you're familiar with (and expecting this to work like) my other checkpoints - this is NOT that. This model's base is pure Hentai and will respond to prompts like those models. It does SFW when prompted and even as a general default, but as soon as you start putting anything even remotely "sexy" into the prompt - it heads toward sex and **** at a very quick rate. (Like many Hentai checkpoints - some of the more difficult things are to try make nudes without X-Rated things creeping in - it's either wanting to be SFW or very much NOT safe for work. lol)
I spent a lot of time with my extractions and merges trying to ensure that this checkpoint does NOT trend young. I made and rejected at least 5 or 6 early versions of this because of that tendency for H-Models to do that. You still might get that effect when you venture into certain kinks and fetishes, but hopefully I beat most of that tendency out of it. (See the note on the complimentary embeddings below, too).
Hands. Always the bane of my existence, Another 5 or 6 early versions of this got rejected because of a high ratio of really bad hands. I'm actually really proud and excited about this final version here. On most runs of a dozen shots - I was only finding 2-3 that were "bad hands" - and maybe 1 or 2 of those were beyond saving with a quick inpaint run. Hands are still not perfect, but... hey... for a model like this... I think you'll be happy by comparison.
The XenTAI Embeddings
I've created two Embeddings which tend to compliment this checkpoint (and should work similarly on others, but to this point, I haven't tested them).
You can find these here: XenTAI Embeddings
XenTAI-pos: (Use in the POSITIVE PROMPT) By default, the XenTAI checkpoint tends to make a hand-drawn sketch type western comic book style. Using this will nudge it and encourage more of a western "cartoon" and slightly less "sketched" look to the lines. It should also add a bit more smooth depth to skin. You can accomplish the same thing by prompting for smooth and detailed skin along with things like Western and American Cartoon Style - this just sort of acts like a shortcut to get there. You probably do NOT want to use this if you're trying to go for some specific style or cartoon artist, though.
XenTAI-neg: (Use in the NEGATIVE PROMPT) The main purpose of this negative embedding is to discourage the checkpoint from trending "young." The XenTAI checkpoint is pretty good about that out of the box, but certain actions (due to the training images used in the original models) can still push that way. This tends to help push away from any "child" like generations - not perfectly, but... fairly effectively. It also has some quality tokens to encourage cleaner looks and maybe help keep hands looking a bit better.
These, of course, are optional - but I found them to be handy shortcuts during testing, so I figured I'd share them here in case someone else finds them useful.
V1 vs V1LCM
I've included both a normal and an LCM version. If you don't know what LCM is, you probably want the normal version. If you'd like to learn more and get the basic usage tips for LCM models... take a look at my LCM Introduction article here.
Preview Images
One thing to understand is that I'm NOT a professional prompt master when it comes to sex and **** type generations. Most of the preview images were done with some wildcards on various position, sex toys, bondage gear and all that - but I didn't really craft anything to ensure great shots. Mainly, I was just running those through and seeing what hit or missed. Certain things were also run under less than ideal settings - so some of the things like ball gags don't look great in the image - but it's not the checkpoint's fault - it's the upscaler having a bad denoise level or ADetailer thinking it was something else.
I'm still including these images - and some other "failures" in terms of it missing the mark on some of these prompts because I think they're still useful starting points for people. Take some of my "yeah... that's not really right" images and rework the settings and prompts a bit - and you'll likely end up with some really great stuff.
