<About the Model>
A furry model designed for accuracy and ease of use with great results attainable with no extra resources.
Can perform a variety of styles (non-artist), with realistic-styled images being the main purpose of the model. I may not have posted many example images but yes, the model does understand a wide variety of styles. It can do more than what is posted..
Version 0.6.5 minor update release, change list below:
Anime version
Higher style comprehension (no realism with this one)
Better scenery/background output
Higher image clarity
Wowzers, I know. Kinda feels like retreading old ground here. I actually made this version two months ago but didn't feel it was substantive enough to post. But after sitting down and going out of my way to search for feedback, I've found that there's a small group of people that actually use V0.5.5 for generation. Who would've thought? So I posted this one for them. I typically sit on a dozen or so custom merges at a time, and trying to pick the best one is kinda like playing darts blindfolded, I won't know I hit the board until people tell me. I could test every single merge and try to find the very best when it comes to x, y, z thing, but at that point I'm spending more time generating images then merging, I've already generated over 500,000 1024x1024 or > images since starting development on Echo Alpha.
Prompting uses E621 tagging. If you ever used Alpha Tango, Yiffy, Indigo, Redwater, etc. or know how to prompt for SD1.5 models based on E621 then there will be very little adjustments needed for prompting. Score tags are unnecessary, but you are free to do as you please.
1024x1024 and upwards is a good resolution for generating images with this model, but do as you please.
A great jumping off point for merges or general use.
Use however you please, feedback is appreciated, crediting is unnecessary. Generation guide linked here (WIP).
This is an SDXL 1.0 model, this is not a Lightning model, nor a natural language model.
CFG at least 7, Steps 30-50, Euler A or DPM++2m (Karras). If you are receiving artifact/noise errors there is a guide in the suggested resources to help assist. If you do not have time to read the guide and wish for a quick solution to the problem, then remove any <: 1.2> or multipliers in this format to fix the error. Using {}, [], (), +, -, should still be fine however. This solution should only really be used if the issue occurs. This error is not model-exclusive and is an issue with SDXL. That doesn't mean you can't use <: .> multipliers, just know that this format can, on occasion, cause issues with A1111 if the format is used with large prompts or numerous times.
Currently Planned in Next Version:
More of the same, higher detail, better background generation, better concept comprehension, etc.
ETA: TBD.
Rant
I feel I shouldn't have to say it, but I'll say it anyways: this model is based off of E621 NSFW models. It's meant for furry content and you should not use run-on sentences to prompt for the entire scene. It's not meant for anime girls or humans (despite how well it does those), it's meant for SFW and, primarily, NSFW furry generation. Use E621 tags, break up the scene with commas, don't just word vomit your entire prompt and expect good results, this isn't Dall-e, this is not Bing image generator, it uses E621 tags. This is not a natural language model. This is not a Lightning model.
It seems redundant to say this again because most people who download SDXL models actually do know how to read the description, but most isn't all, but then again, if SD has taught me anything, the people who need the description the most also don't know how to read the damn thing either and just wildcard their prompts without thinking.
Rant over.
