Fenris ( Fenrisúlfr) , Fenrir or also old norse "Vánagandr" , the First son of Loki it is foretold that he will kill Odin in Ragnarok.....
This model was actually made for animals and creatures but with the further progress of the model it's also good as an general model for all sorts of generations.
Changelog / Versions details / Credits

added more training
better overall quality
V5.5
+more training ( changed also a bit my training Method)
merged in small amounts of following models NewdawnXL, FurtasticXl
Please Check them also out
Note:
The best results I got from CFG 1 to 6 at 40 to 80 steps
7-11 CFG 70 to 200 steps (for example 10CFG /100-150 steps)
or at 12-16 CFG (200-300 at 12) / 400 - 600 steps at 16 CFG
(
DPM++ SDE)V7.0 / V7.03
refined V5.5 also merged with models (6.xx) that never get released
merged in XL13 Asmodeus
I decided to split the model thats the reason for two V7.0 Versions
V7.0
for creative artwork, anime , comic, drawings, and digital art
7.03
if you need more realistic outcomes.
Note: for 7.0/7.03 i recommend using the "FenrisXL VAE
for the next Versions i will bake this VAE in from the start!
V8.01
added more training
merged in small amounts of XL6 - HEPHAISTOS V 3.3
trained in small amounts of ashrpg loras
more realistic, consistent and creative than V7.03
it can handle a huge range of CFG from 1-30+
Please Check out their amazing work
V8.09
Merge between V8.01 and V7.00, V7.02 ,V5.01. , NewdawnV2.2
I also added a bit train difference from Yamers Perfect Design
Model
Made for creative stuff (Digital Art, anime, and drawings)
i recommend using V9.22 for photorealistic Images.
V9.22
Merged in some small parts of the Thalos Project,
Some parts of Fenrisxl 8.09
and lots of new Training Data!
better overall quality
a bit more creative than V8.01 but for art i recommend V8.09
Version got deleted because it had a bug that let the model overbake sometimes and ruined the image sorry about that
V10.03
Fixed V9.22
Recommended for Photorealism
V11.12 (Creative Photo)
Brings the design back from V8.01 (i also merged in back i huge amount of it back in)
added back the posibility for creative stuff did archieved that because i merged in a small amount of newdawnXL
merged also in Colossus Project XL v1.0
i also switched the merging method a bit thanks to Triple_Headed_Monkey
there will be no creative artwork Version anymore because i still recommend using NewdawnXL or V8.09 for that
V12.8 (Photorealistic)
This Model is the upgrade of V10.03
More photorealistic
more training overall
I recomment for Creative Photos V11.12
V14.5 Experimental Version
this is basically Newdawnxl with an fenrisxl picture output
more linguistic and intuitive
more creative
can go from low resolutions from 256x256 (512x512 recommended) to 1200x1200 but can go over this limit too but no guarantee for consistency anymore
it can do artworks again but i still recommend newdawnxl for that
There is also an tensor.art only version with an slightly alternative output and some small technical improvements over 14.50 I recommend this version to use online when you have an potato computer or you like generating images on the go
https://tensor.art/models/645967964966858122
V15.8
It been a while since the last update because it was pretty hard to improve FenrisXL
Merged in Gleipnir
and add lots of Extra Training:
Visual improvements
More versatile and an increased creativity include artworks and drawings but i recommend also looking into Newdawnxl
V16.4
I used some parts of my Bifröst Project model to update this Model this time
more Photorealistic
more consistent
more flexible
Even the results are good I'm always working on the model to make it even better in some way expect lots of updates, experimental stuff ,I'm very creative and have lots of ideas and like trying to break technical limits. That's the reason I'm never done with this model.
FenrisXL [SDXL Lightning]
V1.5 First released Version
This is the First SDXL Lightning Version of Fenris XL and still experimental:
if you need infos what SDXL Lightning is: you can read here about it:
very fast model
very detailed
better in art styles
no lora needed for sdxl [Lightning]
for settings i recommend the following settings:
dpm++ sde and sgm uniform scheduler between 4-15 steps and and around 2-max 4 CFG
(i use for myself most of the time 7 steps )
( see example images)
Note; not every sampler are working: Here a list of working ones:
euler, euler_a, dpm_2_ancestral, dpm_adaptive, dpmpp_sde, dpmpp_sde_gpu,
ddim,uni_pc_bh2, for more infos i made an xyz grid i will upload it soon.
for creatures i can highly recommend to use the Furry Enhancer
for a workflow you can use the Fenrisxl Workflow made by Afroman4peace
this model version use parts of following models , Hephaistos Next Gen thanks for your help Afroman4peace, parts of Ratatoskr and of course parts of the original SDXL Lightning Model
V18
more precision
more styles
without changing the classic fenrisxl style
Added elements of my model RatatoskrV7 and Ragnarök inside the model.
for Release FP32 / Bf16 is available, the FP16 version will follow later.
for the workflow you can check out
i recommend for the workflow to use for example the ragnarök workflow
but i will do a full sampler / cfg grid soon on this model soon too.
please check out also out the newer models like Ragnarök for example.
Fenris Flux V1
First Version of the Flux Variant of Fenris this model is based on Ratatoskr Flux (V1)
This model has an Style Lora inside trained on 1200 output Pictures generated by Fenrisxl
(15,8-V18) i recommend the following workflow
I can recommend for settings: 10 steps 3.5 cfg and euler/simple or ddim/ beta
Fenris Flux V2.3
Finally after Month in training i am Done With the new Version of Fenris Flux.
This Version is trained on a mix of Fenris V1 / Helheim Flux Base Model so its an hybrid model.
it also contains an custom trained Clip_L made for this model so i strongly recommend using it in comfy instead of a separate dual clip ( see my workflows embedded in all Gallery pictures)
more realistic
but can still do art
trained on extended database compared to V1
recommended settings to start with: 16 Steps / Sampler Deis / Scheduler beta
Have fun with the new Model and please give a thumbs up to support my work
Note i will also release the fp16 and the gguf variant stay tuned
please give some feedback if you like ;-) to improve it even further
and if you like buy my buddy a beer that we will then drink together

!!!Use it at your own risk, you a responsible for your own creations!!!
important: for the Flux variant: I got asked if there are parts of dev1 in it the answer is yes a tiny amount if you consider it for commercial use do it on your own risk!
PS: will report every sick photo that is posted here! (CP, brutal Gore, etc)
This disclaimer is not here without reasons. please have in mind this is like a virtual showroom and posting extreme stuff is like 💩 on my desk in real live 😉

FAQ

What UI/Application are you using to get the text so clear? I've not seen the text:("Hello World") syntax used before.
I'm using a1111 for getting a clean text it's not working every image so a bit Cherrypicking is necessary. I'm using following prompt: holding a sign text:("No War") the text need to be in "example" only short text working good.
Hello. Thank you for creating such a wonderful model. I am currently using the FenrisXL model to make a game. I mainly use it for UI and background images, but I want to display a “credit” button in the game and show " ・model: FenrisXL by Freek22". I also want to write the same thing in the document for distribution. If you think this is inappropriate for credit, please let me know. I also use other learning models for characters besides FenrisXL. Thank you.
That's ok and thanks for mentioning me in the game 👍
Btw how you like the newest version 10.03? Had yesterday some issues with 9.22 and pulled it down for this fix upgrade.
@freek22 Thank you for your prompt response. I appreciate it and will make good use of it. Actually, I am using the first-generation model of FenrisXL (fenris1.4xl.fp16) on 'SeaArt'. It allows me to experience the best realism by upscaling at high resolution. I would love to try the latest model, but unfortunately, my machine specs are not up to date, and I apologize for not being able to try it.
CFG and Steps for FenrisXL:
I made an CFG and Steps Grid for all it can found in the gallery below 👇
This time I don't recommend any settings just look for yourself what fits better for you.
the grid seems to be missing from the gallery
the grid is there for v12.8 need still to make one for 14.5 ;-)
@terrariyum i have updated the grids and did make one for 14.50
