Conceptor is a merge model designed for illustrators and artists who want to explore visual concepts in a flexible and creative way. Unlike other models that focus on technical quality or polished results, Conceptor is meant to be a tool for exploration — ideal for testing ideas, generating unique compositions, and finding new sources of inspiration.

It works especially well for creating model sheets (multiple views of a concept) and developing illustrations based on abstract or conceptual prompts. It’s not optimized for flawless portraits or ultra-detailed rendering — its strength lies in expressing visual ideas clearly and with personality.

Recommended Parameters

Below are the suggested settings to get good results with Conceptor. Feel free to experiment beyond this baseline:

• Sampler (exploration): Euler a

• Sampler (final illustration): DPM++ 2M Karras

• Steps: 24 (though 18–30 also works well)

• CFG (guidance scale): 5.5

• Suggested quality tags:
  masterpiece, highres, absurdres, newest, year 2024, year 2023
  (If those years show up in the image, remove the tags)

• Recommended negative prompt:
  worst quality, bad quality, normal quality, bad anatomy, bad hands, error, watermark, username, censored, red eyes, qipao, chibi, blurry
