✨ Recommended Settings

To get the best out of this mess, try these settings:

• Samplers: Euler or Euler Ancestral

• Scheduler: Karras

• Negative Prompt: Up to you, we use a mix of our embeddings, sometimes don't even use negatives!

• CFG & Steps:

  • A mix of anywhere from 5 to 7 for CFG

  • Steps is your choice, we do lower because we're lazy but some peopel go all the way up to 50! (Or more!)

• HiRes Fix:

  • Steps: 15

  • Denoise: 0.3

  • Upscale: 2x

• Upscalers: Rex, 4x_Remacri, or your personal favorite.

• ADetailer: Use sparingly. Due to potential VAE differences, it might occasionally produce grey squares.

• Embeddings: We've used some of our own custom embeddings to showcase character types in our examples, but no stylistic embeddings were necessary to achieve the core look.

• LoRA Compatibility: Chances are good that most LoRAs will work with our new models. However, be aware that while they will function, the result might not perfectly align with your expectations if the LoRA heavily influences style. It's a "What You See Is What You Get" situation with the base model's strong aesthetic – it'll likely produce a good image, just perhaps not the one you had in mind with a very specific LoRA.

🎨 Model Style & Inspiration

This Mix aims to capture the charm and the inspiration of the dynamism of YOUR imagination, and the expressive qualities of illustration. Whether you're crafting whimsical characters or vibrant scenes, this model is ready to explore with you!

🛠️ Merge & Training Details

The backbone of this is built upon numerous LoRAs, many of which were trained in-house by Ktiseos Nyx. We're always experimenting and creating! Due to the wonderfully rapid pace of Ktiseos Nyx's LoRA development, we confess that sometimes the exact lineage of merged checkpoints becomes a delightful mystery. We believe in training as much as we can ourselves, but the spirit of community and shared creation is vital!

And while yes many of our cross-merges include datasets trained on Duskfallcrew's own art, the nature of stable diffusion means Ktiseos Nyx does not want to claim copyright or ownership.
