    I boycott early access cause I hate it, but please feel free to tip if it is possible for you. FUCK EARLY ACCESS!
    It reacts extremely good to NSFW. And the artstyle can get messier than Sabudenego or Calm. And I love it messy :D

    V5.0

    More creamy painterly, more contrast but also more color.

    Euler a

    20 Steps (or less with 5/8stepp lora)

    V4.0

    Non of the sample images used an aDetailer.

    What changed:

    Biggest issue of the painted style was the lacking details in faces and also for overall structures. 

    It is still messy, still painterly and still excellent for hardcore NSFW stuff. 

    Sampler: Euler A

    Steps: 15 is fine

    CFG: 4 if contrast is to strong maybe 3

    V4.0 has gigantic upgrades!

    Overall I increased: 

    - Sharpness

    - enhanced Expressions (wanna make someone cry, sad, disgusted etc., it now works better, (Disgusted as example in the pics below))

    - contrast

    - Shadows

    - lighting effects

    - proportions

    - details

    With these additions, faces are decent (it is still painterly, there are brushstrokes), structures are more crisp and Prompts like „cinematic lighting, perfect lighting, dramatic lighting“ are nearly not necessary anymore.

    V3.0 Accelerated

    Doing things faster.
    8 steps

    CFG 1.5-1.8

    Sample:

    Euler A --> the one I used

    Euler A Ays --> way more detail, maybe a bit too much

    LCM --> really fast but way less details


    V3.0

    Refined version with stronger colors, less weird proportions and more artistic freedom.
    Euler a
    15 steps
    cfg 4

    Anime Version

    So many weebs asked, so here it is XD


    V2.0

    I merged it with complexer models to make it generate sharper images. More Details, sharper and overall better.

    Sampler: Euler or DPM++ 2M Karras

    CFG: 5 but you can bang this shit actually up to 8 with DPM++2M Karras.

    Steps: 15 is okay, but for decent faces 30-40

    Feel free to share! I am interested in the stuff people make with this checkpoints I create :)


    V1.0
    I banged in detailers and CFG controls. I reacts extremely good to NSFW. And the artstyle can get messier than Sabudenego or Calm. And I love it messy :D

    CFG: 5

    Steps: 15 works already well. 25 for more details.

    Feel free to share your creations :)

    8 Steps
    cfg 1.5-1.8
    Sampler: Euler A for details, Euler A Ays for lots of details, LCM for faster generation

    Stay tuned for a new version today. better facial details, less washed out and way more atmospheric, without tags like cinematic lighting, dramatic lighting... etc.

    Great stuff, i luv it. But it struggles with hands and faces. ADetailer is neccessary.

    yes, this is the curse of painterly styles... If I crank up the overall details, it will lose its "brush-painting" nature...
