What is this?

This is a mega merge built using my own iterative merging workflow. It's intended to know a large number of subjects while having an aesthetically pleasing illustrated default style.

Usage Tips:

Don't forget to enable V-Pred sampling and Zero SNR/ZSNR. Generations won't look right without it. With ComfyUI this is done with the ModelSamplingDiscrete node

Start with 4.0 to 7.0 CFG (lower values may be better for earlier versions) and 28-40 steps, and adjust as needed.

The sample images above standard SDXL resolutions all use hi-res fix with 0.1 to 0.2 denoise and so the actual total step count is double what is listed. It seems you need lower denoise than EPS models for the same effect.

I usually begin my positive prompts with something like:

very awa, masterpiece, absurdres

Followed by style and artist names such as:

traditional media, oil painting \(medium\), absurdres,

And then whatever characters, poses, objects, viewpoints etc.

Use a mixture of danbooru & e621 tags, and very simple sentences.
