-VAE IS NOT BAKED-

I forgot to bake the vae in again.

I highly recommend this vae https://civarchive.com/models/152040?modelVersionId=1023774

The vae above adds a nice amount of colour without adding so much that it looks cooked.

This is a merge of a version of Persephone Illust that i havn't released yet and a bunch of loras. It's not perfect and the style didn't fit the original models style so I posted it separate.

Due to one of the loras that were merged having mha/bnha faces the model does that style of face. you can just negative prompt boku no hero academia and itll help alleviate that mostly.

(also i had to write this entire thing twice cos the upload finished while i was writing it and it refreshed to the upload page and deleted everything in here. Not relevant to the model, just wanted to complain)

-Recommended Settings-

Prompts are in the previews.

Regular SDXL resolutions

I recommend DPM++ 2M its what gives me the best results.

Sheduler I just use Karras

Don't mix DPM++ 2M SDE with DDIM, it just breaks and causes a ton of artifacts.

CFG 3-5. Above 5 can cause issues with adetailer having visible boxes on darker images.

Steps: 36, I havn't changed it from 36.

I use Adetailer for faces unless the face is close, when the face is close to the screen Adetailer is usually a quality hit depending on your resolution. I recommend increasing your inpain mask blur to 12.

Recommend Hires Fix for higher quality images but thats just standard now. 0.3-0.42 denoise and 10-15 steps. I use 4x_NMKD-YandereNeoXL_200k upscaler since it doesn't flatten the colours like other anime upscalers.

Alternative settings (faster but lower quality)
Euler A

DDIM scheduler

20 steps
