This is the "Illustrious XL personal merge" model (specifically: v30Noob10based), merged with an additional model of my own creation (Illustrious 0.1 trained on aesthetic background images, at 512 resolution. (PM_Aes3k_512)The raw trained Illustrious model is also provided for your merging needs. (Aes3k_512)Add 'scenery' to your prompt for max effect.Having been unsatisfied with backgrounds in models since the aesthetic masterclass that was SD1.5 and it's derivates I wondered, what if the constraints of the model were actually what caused it to be so good? So I decided to try a previous experiment of mine (aesthetic backgrounds) at 512 training resolution instead of 1024. To my surprise, it actually worked better.I encourage other more experienced model creators to try this technique, this is just a proof of concept I did quickly.

Illustrious XL personal merge x Aesthetic backgrounds 512

The Aes3k model add merged with my favorite version of PersonalMerge.
