Description
* Update: One-WIP-v2
This update looks to further improve the model's aesthetic quality and appeal, particularly within background details, while retaining its focus on flexibility. I pushed plenty of weights within the more aesthetically tuned models as well as adding Coco Style Illustrious, which sadly seems to have been removed. Differences overall will likely be subtle but become more pronounced when upscaling with hires fix.
This is probably (hopefully) the last WIP iteration as I plan to go into an even heavier aesthetic focused merge, likely starting with a full (?) release of Ether One Illustrious.
Life has picked back up again so apologies in advance if updates are sporadic and far in between. As always thank you so much for your continued love and support.
I recommend describing the style (oil painting, messy sketch, anime screenshot etc), adding artist tags and being more descriptive with your prompts. Feel free to mix natural language and booru tags.
