This is a merge of Axelros' Tiberium Illustrious Mix and xXMadVladXx's Throwing Pasta (MIX) - Spaghetti.
I've been working on this merge for a while. It's nothing too complicated—mostly a combination of two SDXL models and a few LoRAs. The goal was to create a stylized merge capable of western-style art similar to what you’d get from a Pony model, but with the clean lines and colors of Illustrious.
The merge has solid range—it can handle cartoon, anime, realistic, and semi-realistic styles. I wish I could take credit for that flexibility, but it's probably more thanks to the original creators than anything I did. That said, I did tweak the LoRA weights to give the model a more distinct look.
You have some flexibility with settings, and after a lot of hands-on testing with this model, I can confidently recommend it for both text-to-image and image-to-image workflows.

For upscaling workflows, I've found that a denoise range of 0.4 to 0.5 works best. This preserves structure while still enhancing detail without overbaking the image.
⚠️ ADetailer Note
Be cautious when using ADetailer with YOLO-based models (like bbox/full_eyes_detect_yolo8s.pt or face_yolov8m.pt). If the denoise is set higher than 0.4, ADetailer can over-exaggerate facial features, especially eyes and mouths. Keeping denoise lower helps avoid artifacts or surreal distortions. You can also use Throwing Pasta (MIX) - Spaghetti as the ADetialer's inpainting model since it works well with the style.

Maybe I have my settings wrong and if you know a fix let me know. I only pretend to know what I'm doing.

I can't wait to have the free time to gen too many Goblins with this merge. 🤣🤣
WOW
Is there a way to get this checkpoint to stop adding "action lines" around people's body parts?
I don't see them in most of the samples below, but I think it's because they're all in still poses, when you have people doing any sort of activity, they get these white spikes all around their bodies and it makes the generations unusable for i2v.
If anyone knows how, that'd be great, I'm assuming that is added by default to any subjects that are involved in an "action" rather than a still pose.
This checkpoint would be amazing if I could disable that somehow, unfortunately I can't seem to figure out how to remove them.
You can put action lines in the negative prompt.
@Sexiam Hey thanks! I tried something similar and other stuff like "movement, motion" etc. and I thought I had tried action lines with inconsistent luck, it does seem to be working pretty well for me now though especially since I really pushed it with (((action lines))) lol.
It really is a wonderful checkpoint, creates such beautiful results!
My friend "Sexiam" all your models are magnificent (Obsidian Anise, Copper Thyme, Electrum Cinnamon, Electrum Cinnamon Anime version, Nickel Saffron, Rusty Iron Pepper), all magnificent, but the model (Chrome Spice), ooooohhh Goshhhh, was literally an "artistic orgasm," so beautiful, deep, magnificent, it has a sweet flavor, with notes of hazelnut, caramel, cotton candy and cinnamon....simply an artistic orgasm, all your models had to be added to my "treasure chest of the greatest AI wonders of all time," however (Chrome Spice) is etched into my bones in large letters (I LOVE YOU - CHROME SPICE).
I can only thank you for your contribution to the AI community, simply "ART."
