Hello everyone!

I'm excited to present my merge of two exceptional checkpoints: Auralis by @FlareAI_Studios and RAMTHRUST'S-NSFW-PINK-ALCHEMY-MIX✨ by @RAMTHRUST .
Both base models are incredible, so definitely check them out if you somehow missed them.

I'm a total noob, so this merge was the result of blind experimentation and pure luck. However, the result turned out surprisingly well, so I decided to share it. It's capable of decent generations, but there are some important nuances to keep in mind.

IMPORTANT NOTES FROM MY TESTING

The model requires specific parameters for stable results.

• First Pass (Base Generation):

  • CFG Scale — THIS IS CRITICAL.
    If you use v0.1 CFG=5.0 or higher values will likely destroy the image. I used 2.0-3.5.
    There might be other "sweet spots," so feel free to experiment, but if you're unsure, stick to this.
    If you are on v0.2 CFG=5.0 is perfectly fine most of the time.

  • Sampler/Scheduler: I use res_3m and beta57, but standard euler with normal or beta should also work fine if you prefer to keep it simple.

• Upscaling (I use Latent Iterative):

  • For v0.1 CFG Scale: 3. I observed severe artifacts at higher values, so consider this a warning.
    As for v0.2 I use cfg=5.0 with 0.25 denoise 12 steps, didn't observe any issues so far.

  • Sampler/Scheduler: dpmpp_2m with beta or karras has worked well for me. I haven't tested other combinations yet.

PROMPTING BEHAVIOR

Please note that the model is highly responsive to your prompt. If you use something like ultraviolet light, expect the image to be very ultraviolet. At the same time, it can be quite random — without a highly descriptive prompt, results will vary significantly from seed to seed. I find this feature kind of cool, but it's a matter of taste.

MY USUAL PROMPTS

• Negative Prompt: (bad quality:1.1), (worst quality:1.1), bad details, (bad hands:1.2), child, loli, pubic hair, (shiny skin:1.2)

• Positive Prompt: I usually start with masterpiece, best quality. Then I add either photorealistic or anime coloring, cel shading depending on the style I want — or sometimes neither. There are no strict rules here, and I'm sure you'll find much better ways to prompt it!

Feel free to try it out! I'll be thrilled if you manage to create something you like with it.

Have a good day :3
