Note: The latest is not always better.

I aimed to create a merged model that coexists with the anime drawing style while compensating for the background art writing that is often lacking in illustrious derivative models.
This model is characterized by the fact that it does not collapse on reasonably small faces without adetailer, so it recognizes faces even in small areas when adeteiler is used.

If a long prompt with a large number of tokens makes your image look grainy, like it has overly sharpened noise, try lowering the CFG value to around 5, or lowering the CFG during hires fix to around 4 to address it.
Additionally, switching the sampling method to something like Kohaku_LoNyu_Yog can help mitigate issues that occur with high CFG values.
For a more fundamental fix to overly sharpened noise caused by long prompts or high CFG, consider installing the “Dynamic Thresholding (CFG Scale Fix)” extension. Try enabling it with Simple Mode, setting Mimic Scale to 7 and Threshold Percentile to 1.

Recently used value: CFG scale=around 6~8~10
Sampling method=Kohaku_LoNyu_Yog
Schedule type=Normal
Sampling steps=about 30

When a thick coat of paint like an oil painting style is required.
Recently used value: CFG scale=around 7
Sampling method=DPM++ 2M
Schedule type=Karras
Sampling steps=about 25

Width:Height = 1280x960 960x1280 1024x1024

hires fix:
Upscaler: ScuNET PSNR
Denoising strength: 0.15～0.35
Upscale by: 1.25
Hires CFG Scale: 4.0

The prompts I use most often are at the end of a sentence.
very awa, masterpiece, best quality, newest, highres, absurdres, very aesthetic, (dramatic lighting, cinematic lighting, perfect lighting:0.5),

negative prompt:
(bad:1.6), error, fewer, extra, missing, worst quality, low quality, (bad hand, bad feet:1.2), (6fingers:1.8), (fewer digits, 6toes, 4toes:1.7), (bad anatomy, conjoined:1.8), (wide hips:1.8), censored, simple background,

The output image may have a large hips. If this bothers you, adjust the negative (wide hips:2) or other settings.

Release: v20250712, v2025.03.09 and fffmix_ill mixed by Merging Block Weights.

The latest background rendering capabilities from ffmix illuβ have been integrated.
While I’ve gained increased complexity in background element rendering, it has come at the cost of weaker performance with metallic gloss.
Please note that the latest version is not necessarily superior in every aspect.

It allows for a more natural language-like response when specifying the output of multiple people.

Release: v20250305, change n40naillousXl to illumiyumeXL_v10 [5e3920a4cd]

I incorporated illumiyumeXL_v10 to include the Illustrious 1.0 pedigree, and in doing so, I removed n40naillousXl from the merge and replaced it.

It is very beautiful, incorporating ffmix backgrounds while maintaining the cartoon character's paint.

If the hand collapses, it may be necessary to add “6fingers” to the negative prompt.
