This is a blend of models that I've been working on for a while, with the primary goal of creating realistic character portraits in a variety of genres, but it's a well-rounded model that's been good at everything I've thrown at it. It's probably not very good at anime, but if that's what you're after there are plenty of other models to choose from.
This model inherits the CreativeML Open RAIL-M and Dreamlike License. By downloading, you agree to both.
No need to use a VAE. The model has vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.ckpt baked in. I also strongly recommend using the following negative embeddings: neg-sketch-2 by JPPhoto and neg-anime by dwringer.
The example images were done with InvokeAI. If you want to reproduce them with a1111, you'll need to convert the syntax.
Description
This version adds offset noise (add difference merge at 50%) for more contrast and the ability to generate darker images. It also seems to help with coherence for some prompts.
