    (Update: There is now a "No Pixel" Version that I made to take out all the baked in Pixel art for those who want it. <3)

    So I've been using other people's Merges and Checkpoints for awhile and decided to make my own merge using some of my favorite checkpoints. I am uploading this mainly for personal use and not really in any professional capacity as a merge/checkpoint maker. but let's get some of the standard prompting guide stuff out of the way.

    One of the primary checkpoints used is Obsidian Anise by Sexiam:
    https://civarchive.com/models/2143097/obsidian-anise

    Recommended Settings:
    Steps: 26-30
    Sampler: Euler a or DPM++ 2M Karras
    CFG: 5-6
    Resolution: 856x1152 or higher

    Recommended Quality Tags:
    I usually put these on the bottom/end

    clean lineart, sharp outlines, precise inking, controlled shadows, high-contrast, (pixel art, dithering, pixelated, sprite art, 8-bit:1.2),

    If you are using the "No Pixel" version use this instead

    clean lineart, sharp outlines, precise inking, controlled shadows, high-contrast,

    For V2: I only use

    (Pixel:1.2)

    Thanks I am currently working on a version without the Pixel Art baked in.

    Did you accidentally mark "The First" model as SD 1.5?

    It's actually Illustrious, I even selected that so I don't know why it says that... Let me see if I can change it.

    I really like the colors, and the characters have a clean and distinct look from the other toon models. A well done merge that shows the creator has spent a lot of time with the resources used to make it.

    I appreciate that, once I started looking into making my own merge and learned I could implement all the resources I commonly used to make it easier on myself for future Gens, I just had to. You have been a major inspiration for most of my Genning. <3
