Here it is, my first merge checkpoint : "HarmonyHues" !
Honestly it's a try and also a fusion of several things that I like. It's not necessarily something that will please everyone, I know that in advance but... In any case, I like it!
This is the goal of this merger:
I wanted something simple with sparkling colors and full of life, personality while keeping a simple appearance! A little touch of realism was also necessary! Of course, like most of my creations, they are based on the character and not the background (I hope you noticed that btw)
Brief ! Let's move on to the honors and the people from whom I borrowed resources !
To begin, here is the merger of the two checkpoints used:
- Hellaine Mix by duskfallcrew : Mainly used for the colors of this checkpoint. Diverse, colorful and filled with pleasant and lively things. Honorable mention because he was also the one who gave me the idea to create my first merge checkpoint and who carefully helped me! <3
- Dominus Retro by Casanova_ : I took it for its "realistic" style and the minimalist softness of the characters. A style that I really appreciate.
Now let's move on to the Lora which are merged into the checkpoint:
- Noline by 2vXpSwA7: A lora allowing you to reduce the drawing lines of the image giving an even more minimalist side that I really appreciate.
- Saturation by 2vXpSwA7: You will have understood, I wanted color. A vibrant color that catches the eye but with a lot of softness. (yes, this mixture is possible)
- Better eyes+face+skin by 7dragons: This then allows you to add a little more detail, effect and realism to the eyes and skin.
Finally, here are the different generation parameters that I recommend:
Sampling method : Euler
Sampling steps : => 20
CFG Scale : between 7 & 9
Vae : vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.ckpt (but work with many other)
Hires fix : Enable.
