<h1 id="hello-this-is-ether-real-mix-l0hg1u80l">🔸🌤️ Hello, this is Ether Real Mix 🌤️🔸</h1>Ether Real Mix is a stylized realism model focused on flexibility. It's capable of producing a variety of subjects in multitudes of styles. It still has some shortcomings inherit to anime models such as light biases in generating females and humans.This model is intended to act as a 'blank canvas'. Add your favorite LORA's and embeddings to customize it to your liking!✨ Please Share Your Cool Creations Below! ✨<h3 id="*-ether-real-mix-version-4-5w9405zf6">* Ether Real Mix - Version 4</h3>Ether Real Mix 4 looks to further refine the realistic/semi-realistic aesthetic through LORA block merging, updating ingredients, and (hopefully) improving anatomy and hands within the constraints of a realistic SD 1.5 model.I shuffled out a lot of models that felt redundant or just no longer fit the goals of Ether Real.

Experiment and give the AI some freedom to interpret your ideas!General guidelines:<ul><li>Prompt in the style of anime/booru-style models, "masterpiece, best quality, .....
