    Diving into Janku's Unholy Desire to provide a merge which brings us endless mayhem and fun... 

    JANKU v5 Trained + NoobAI + RouWei Illustrious XL + Diving Illustrious Niji Sketch + Unholy Desire Mix  Sinister Aesthetic V5. = AniMayhem!

    My second Checkpoint merge is a departure from the semi realistic and further into the anime realm. 

    I won't try and tell you how to live your life, but I've been very successful with the following

    Can go as low as 14 steps and cfg of 2 with decent results using Euler a / normal.

    DPM++ 2M and 2M SDE 
    Karras 
    30-40 steps 
    Cfg under 5

    Or 
    Euler A
    Normal  
    24 steps 
    cfg 4.5 or lower

    Can go as low as 14 steps and cfg of 2 with decent results.

    As always - adetailer or the like for distance. And use your pos/neg embeddings!!

    I prefer Lazy Embeddings for all - however you may have your own preference. 

    Description

    Some slight adjustments for better hands
    Update to part of the merge using Janku 6.9 in place of previous version

    Excellent checkpoint. Problems I see with other checkpoints is that they often lack detail and if they do have detail, they have a lot of noise, especially in the background. This checkpoint has a very nice balance between the amount of detail in both character/background, while minimizing noise.

    like many other models it does not go well with rings on fingers and other variations on this subject

    Hello, I'm using the model well. Thank you. Is it correct that this model does not have its own vae? If I use it as a broken vae, there is an error, so I'm using another IL-based vae and I'm just curious.
