NEON SKRUNKLE: Realism with Deep, Vibrant Contrast

Designed by Ktiseos Nyx and the Team. Inspired by Virtual Diffusion & Many other amazing Realism models!

We're working hard at keeping up with what we enjoyed in SD 1.5 and beyond - the more we develop our models the more joy we see! NEON SKRUNKLE is a realism model specifically designed to generate images with a strong, deep, and vibrant contrast aesthetic.

EA's are only for 14 days and we'll try and release freebies between if at all possible.

Vibrance & VAE Note

This model is built for extreme color saturation and aesthetic consistency. The LunaXL Vae is baked in for ultimate vibrance and contrast right out of the box. A huge thank you to the creator of this VAE!

✨ Recommended Settings

To get the best out of ANY of our models, try these settings:

Samplers: Euler or Euler Ancestral

Scheduler: Karras

Negative Prompt: Generally not needed! The model is designed to perform well without one, but feel free to experiment based on your preferences.

HiRes Fix:

• Steps: 15

• Denoise: 0.3

• Upscale: 2x

• Upscalers: Rex, 4x_Remacri, or your personal favorite.

ADetailer: Optional. Due to the strong aesthetic and baked-in VAE, it might occasionally produce unexpected artifacts like grey squares. Use only if necessary to correct faces or intricate details.

Embeddings: While no stylistic embeddings are strictly required to achieve the core look, we highly recommend using Ktiseos Nyx's custom embeddings for optimal control over specific character types, angles, and poses shown in our examples.

LoRA Compatibility: Chances are good that most LoRAs will work with this. However, be aware that while they will function, the result might not perfectly align with your expectations if the LoRA heavily influences style. It's a "What You See Is What You Get" situation with the base model's strong aesthetic – it'll likely produce a good image, just perhaps not the one you had in mind with a very specific LoRA.

🛠️ Merge & Training Details

The backbone of any of our mixes are built upon numerous LoRAs, many of which were trained in-house by Ktiseos Nyx. We're always experimenting and creating! Due to the wonderfully rapid pace of Ktiseos Nyx's LoRA development, we confess that sometimes the exact lineage of merged checkpoints becomes a delightful mystery. We believe in training as much as we can ourselves, but the spirit of community and shared creation is vital!

Trainer Tool Announcement:
We are excited to announce our upcoming Ktiseos Nyx Trainer tool! We aim to make training accessible and efficient for everyone. Check out the repository for updates and future releases:
