This is a merge of many illustrious models, with manually modified block ratios at each step, to make a well balanced and clean looking checkpoint for semi-realism, anime, and furry generations. The goal is for this to be a checkpoint that requires minimal LoRAs to make good looking images with a variety of prompts.
All example images are generated using a ComfyUI workflow which involves a high-res fix step with 0.30 to 0.50 denoise. Upscaling is performed with https://github.com/Phhofm/models/releases/tag/4xNomos2_hq_mosr
Flash versions are merged with SDXL-Flash to reduce the number of steps needed for inference, at the cost of results being slightly lower quality on average.
V1.5: Enhances contrast, saturation and in some cases prompt comprehension. This is not always desirable over the look of v1.0 however.
V2.0: I created anime, furry, and realistic finetunes based on v1.5 and then repeatedly merged the 3 versions together with varied block ratios to preserve some details while overriding others. The result should have a generally improved understanding of details and a more diverse range of themes & creativity.
