    The creator of this resource has been found to be manipulating their reviews and the reviews of others.
    As such they have been banned from the platform and their resource delisted
    By popular demand, we've brought back the resource availability to download. but locked discussion and further reviews from being posted.
    We've opened the images back up by popular demand, as a lot of users want to see the metadata for images. However, to ensure this resource does not receive an unfair advantage from its false reviews, we've excluded all reviews and comments on the resource. This ensures it has a fresh start.

    Hello, the model was created as an artistic style, the model can do almost anything, the main thing is to follow the promt, hands and eyes looks good for the most cases

    Model Information:

    This model is generally designed for portraits and full-length anime style photos. Fantastic landscapes are quite decent. And it doesn't require kilometer-long queries to get a high-quality result.

    Recommend: DPM++2M Karras, Clip skip 2 Sampler, Steps: 25-35+

    This model would not have come out without XpucT's help, which made Deliberate

    If you have the desire and means to support future models, here you go:

    I hope you like it, thanks for the feedback

    Description

    1. Now in addition to the art style, you can make more realistic characters and environments (it all depends on the promt).

    • Also with the right promt you can achieve some style, like in Midjourney

    • The arms have been fixed, they are now more or less stable

    • Shadows and lighting have been improved

    • The quality of food has been improved

    • The detailing has been improved

    I'm still new to the whole AI art generation and I'm having a blast, I'm slowly getting used to everything and I love your model I've been playing with it for the last 48 hours, but I'm having issues creating a really really dark scene I'm trying to create a very dark nighttime scene but it always just seems there's too much brightness or lights in the background regardless of the prompts I try, any advice you could give me? Tyvm!

    Love these models but so far I am finding 1.5 takes the edge over 1.6, it is the little details that seem better produced so far in my test generations.

    If 1.6 was the first I used I would be happy but comparing back to the same image made in 1.5 it just feels better composed. I will keep checking though as I am sure I will find the strengths of 1.6 for a project.

    Many models are like this like deliberate although technically 2 is newer and better trained 1.1 often delivers the good better.

    ymzlygwMay 29, 2023

    That's ture, I also test different type of prompt, 1.5 is a little better than 1.6.

    TetsuooJun 8, 2023

    From what I've heard before, the more a model is trained the better quality you get, at least in theory but... the more failed generations you will need before getting there

    gurilagardnrJun 15, 2023· 6 reactions

    @alese_kynnadi You're not wrong. I would add, as a fellow content creator, there's not much talent that goes into anything that is posted to civitai. The only time the word talent should enter the conversation is the actual developers of SD and other researchers and developers. Any LORA, TI, or Checkpoint creation is a trivial task once you understand the process, and talent doesn't factor into it. Although, i see you've not bothered to contribute anything, at all, so perhaps my words are wasted.

    SebastianoJamesJun 16, 2023· 1 reaction

    Models are provided only in the safetensor format which does NOT able anyone to make their own inpaint model.

    Checkpoints (ckpt) aren't provided. Inpaint models aren't provided. We can't make them. So Lyriel is... good ? Yeah maybe. But useless.

    It's not "useless", maybe it's useless for what you have in mind. It's a good mix that generates good results, no matter what the author did.

    NewtonsV3808Jul 6, 2023· 7 reactions

    Why not use the Checkpoint Merger tab in SD Automatic 1111 to convert it to ckpt yourself?

    Choose two models...the primary model (A) being the one that you want to end up in a different format...and another model

    Set 'Multiplier' to 0...this seems to indicate that none of the 2nd model will be merged...

    In the next option 'Interpolation Method' select 'No Interpolation' - again this seems to indicate that the result will be just A i.e. the primary model.

    Then in the 'checkpoint format' options choose to save it as .ckpt

    (I have no idea what 'save as float 16' does so left that blank...and unchecked the 'save metadata option')

    I did the above and the resulting ckpt appears to produce the exact same images using the example prompts above with both the safetensor and the new cpkt version...so isn't that what you're looking for?

    ZenythOct 13, 2023

    @NewtonsV3808 Save as float 16 prunes a model that is about 4GB so it can just be a 2GB model. This must be done with caution as there are fragile models that lose quality when pruned, while others offer an identical picture.

    I don't agree at all. For me, Lyriel is more like a Deliberate model with an integrated Lowra Lora.
    Better blacks and contrasts for dark scenes, i find it very versatile, it's my go to for 2 months, for 80% of what I do.
    I use Dreamshapper when I want a more "artsy" or "oil painting" look

    Five out of five from me.

    Who needs ratings? Most people read these comments more than the reviews, anyway.

    I'm talking specifically about the 1.2 version.

    That's pure Lyriel, apparently versions 1.3 and beyond focused on getting characters "uncropped", complete heads and feet in the pic, with the unfortunate consequence that their poses get more restricted so they can fit in the box.

    That's it, highly recommended with a unique style.

    The best one.

    Seriously.

    I was able to get the most amazing results for my TTRPG characters.

    It's not as simple to use as some of the others I've seen on Civitai, but the outputs - oh man.

    For this whole year I've been trying to find a way to generate characters that are not anime and not totally realistic, something more of a toned-down painting/digital art, gothic art (?), and now Lyriel is my all-time favorite.

    It even works with OpenOutpaint without having to use the specific inpainting model.

    I don't care if it's creator used to buy reviews (or whatever they did). I love this model.
