Hello nerds, this is the first checkpoint that I’ve released, and I gotta say I think it’s pretty good/unique compared to most “illustrious” merge checkpoints being published right now basically all of them are just the same copy-and-paste base style over and over again. Depending on how many people download and upload images to this model over the next few days, I’ll probably auction it so it can run on-site.

Honestly I do NOT recommend using style LoRAs with this but yk do whatever you want.

20 Steps, 4 CFG, Euler A

Here are two good positive prompts:

masterpiece, best quality, flawless, (dynamic, dramatic, detailed),

I use that one most of the time. You can also go with:

masterpiece, best quality, flawless, (detailed),

Good negative prompt.

(worst quality, bad quality, monochrome, watermark:1)

DO NOT overcomplicate your positive and negative prompts the more you overcomplicate them, the worse they turn out.

DO NOT use pony-related prompts or resources with this model.

IMO Adding a million LoRAs to your generation WILL NOT make it better. (Applies to ANY checkpoint)

Since I would like to credit the artist, whoever finds the artist’s style that this checkpoint primarily shows, I will give 1000 Buzz to the person who names them first. I trained this style so long ago I can’t remember or find the original artist, if you can find their socials, let me know, and if it’s correct I’ll hook you up with the 1000 Buzz.
