<h2 id="hello-everyone!">Hello everyone!</h2>I'm excited to present my merge of two exceptional checkpoints: Auralis by @FlareAI_Studios and RAMTHRUST'S-NSFW-PINK-ALCHEMY-MIX✨ by @RAMTHRUST . Both base models are incredible, so definitely check them out if you somehow missed them.I'm a total noob, so this merge was the result of blind experimentation and pure luck. However, the result turned out surprisingly well, so I decided to share it. It's capable of decent generations, but there are some important nuances to keep in mind.IMPORTANT NOTES FROM MY TESTINGThe model requires specific parameters for stable results.<ul><li>First Pass (Base Generation):<ul><li>CFG Scale — THIS IS CRITICAL. If you use v0.1 CFG=5.0 or higher values will likely destroy the image. I used 2.0-3.5. There might be other "sweet spots," so feel free to experiment, but if you're unsure, stick to this. If you are on v0.2 CFG=5.0 is perfectly fine most of the time.</li><li>Sampler/Scheduler: I use <code>res_3m</code> and <code>beta57</code>, but standard <code>euler</code> with <code>normal</code> or <code>beta</code> should also work fine if you prefer to keep it simple.</li></ul></li><li>Upscaling (I use Latent Iterative):<ul><li>For v0.1 CFG Scale: 3. I observed severe artifacts at higher values, so consider this a warning. As for v0.2 I use cfg=5.0 with 0.25 denoise 12 steps, didn't observe any issues so far.</li><li>Sampler/Scheduler: <code>dpmpp_2m</code> with <code>beta</code> or <code>karras</code> has worked well for me. I haven't tested other combinations yet.</li></ul></li></ul>PROMPTING BEHAVIORPlease note that the model is highly responsive to your prompt. If you use something like <code>ultraviolet light</code>, expect the image to be very ultraviolet. At the same time, it can be quite random — without a highly descriptive prompt, results will vary significantly from seed to seed. I find this feature kind of cool, but it's a matter of taste.MY USUAL PROMPTS<ul><li>Negative Prompt: <code>(bad quality:1.1), (worst quality:1.1), bad details, (bad hands:1.2), child, loli, pubic hair, (shiny skin:1.2)</code></li><li>Positive Prompt: I usually start with <code>masterpiece, best quality</code>. Then I add either <code>photorealistic</code> or <code>anime coloring, cel shading</code> depending on the style I want — or sometimes neither. There are no strict rules here, and I'm sure you'll find much better ways to prompt it!</li></ul>Feel free to try it out! I'll be thrilled if you manage to create something you like with it.Have a good day :3

Based on results of my tests I made another merge. Now it's much more stable and work perfectly fine with CFG=5.0 so far (no way). Value of 4 is fine too sometimes, but now we are not strictly tied to weird exact values. Plus it fits my vision much more - bold, wild, cool and clean(not sure for last one but hey, sorry). I feel like it's not that agressively chaotic as before, and it's little sad, but you may just use v0.1 if you like it more. Have a good day :3
