Batman Mix v1 (Golden Child)

This model is a merge of some of my favorite styles in an attempt to get a consistent mix of the Western/Anime style combination sweet spot.

Batman Mix v1.1

A continuation of the inclusion of my favorite styles in Batman Mix v1

Batman Mix v2 (Semi-Realism)

This model is a merge of Batman Mix v1 (Pony), bigAsp (SDXL), and Lustify (SDXL).

Merging the above models gives a semi-realistic look to generated images, pushing towards a softer, realistic cartoon style.

    • For more 2.5d: euler_ancestral + normal

  • CFG between 4-6

  • 20 - 40 Steps

Batman Mix v3.0

This model is a merge of Batman Mix v1 (Pony) and Illustrious (IL).

Merging the above models gives a western cartoonic style, similar to the SpiderMan Animated Series, and cartoons of that era.

Batman Mix v4.0 - Experimental

For v4.0, I've utilized the CLIP model from Illustrious, so it should have a bit of the artist name understanding present in the Illustrious model. This model seeks to provide a bit of style versatility by adding artist name tags but retaining a baseline style of Batman Mix v1. Various artist names were utilized in the sample images for this model.

I've added 2 style reference images to the showcase for this model. One is the top 45 artists on e621, and the other is the top 45 artists on danbooru. Though the list of artist name recognition is extensive, this is a starting reference for some styles that you may like.

Batman Mix v4.1

In v4.1, there is less presence of Batman Mix v1. Though that style is beautiful, this version really allows the artist's name to have a heavy impact on the resulting style.

Batman Mix v5.0

This model is a merge of Batman Mix v1, some stylistic LoRAs, and BatmanMix v3

Merging the above models gives a painting-esque style, with strong brushtrokes, lines, and saturation.

Batman Mix v6.0 (Realism)

This model is a merge of Batman Mix v1, some quality and detail enhancing LoRAs, and Lustify

Merging the above models gives a very realistic style with the flexibility and comprehension of Pony model
