All of my preview images are txt2img, no hires fix, no face restore, no loras, no embeddings. I wanted you to see how this model generates.

Edit: All v6 Previews are made with Lightning... I am finding the results better and faster than not using lightning, however still does great without it... Also a few did use the add detail lora.

Face Restore (Codeformer) generally works well with this model, if needed/desired.

Loras generally work well.

My usual settings are Steps: 30, Sampler: DPM++ 3M SDE Karras, CFG scale: 3-7

Works great with long and short prompts, lower CFG recommended on long prompts.

LIGHTNING WORKS GREAT WITH THIS MODEL!

I use this lora: https://civarchive.com/models/324115/sdxl-lightning-8step
With EULER A, CFG 2, 16-20 Steps (Yes it is an 8 step lightning, but the higher step count reduces artifacts. Going over 20 seems to induce more artifacts, generally 16-20 seems to be the sweet spot for my models). I will include some generations using lightning to the gallery below.

Introducing Silverstar XL!

This is an SDXL model that I merged for my own aesthetic goals, primarily around the creation of young adult men. I found many models to either make them too attractive/girly, or too burly/strong without getting crazy on the prompt or negatives.

Along the way I wanted to make sure I had creative options, capable of both photorealistic and artistic styles, and many different themes and subjects.

Originally intended for personal use, I have been asked to share this, so here we are.

As for NSFW, this model is not intended for NSFW. It may be possible to create, but the result may be not great. May in the future create a version for that.
