It's been a little over a year since I first submitted a mix to Civitai, after fiddling around with a lot of mixes during the first part of SDXL and PDXL, Flux came, stuck around kinda, and now we have IllustriousXL.
I was content to let other people do their magic, but I kept getting results I didn't quite want, or weren't quite to my taste, so I decided to have another go at making a checkpoint merge.
Components:
My own style lorer cooked specifically for this mix
Essentials: Positive Prompt:
masterpiece, best quality
Recommended Negative Prompt:
lowres, worst quality, low quality, bad anatomy, bad hands, 4koma, comic, greyscale, censored, jpeg artifacts
What to expect:
The outputs should generally be clean 2D, or 2.5D anime-style without needing to use things like 3d, realistic, photorealistic in the negs, or anime style in the positive prompts. I haven't tested any 3D or realistic images intentionally, since that's not really my speed, but you're welcome to if that's your jam.
Cheers,
Madly
