This is a very ???? bones V1 checkpoint that I have been working on. It's not entirely perfect but you can run it with a simple upscaler to get better results or even adetailer if you have it installed.

I had initially created this because it felt like we didn't have any sort of Niji-esque checkpoints that we might see elsewhere. Being created with the open source Illustrious model, I hope you guys download it, merge it, and share it for anyone and everyone to use as this is what I intended upon. Improve it, make it better. I am entirely ignorant when it comes to making checkpoints so V2 might be drastically different once I train a better lora into the model. Any and all help, advice, or even criticism is welcome.

The VAE is supposed to baked in, but I don't know, experiment with it. I shoved an illustrious VAE into it instead of the normal SDXL one because the colors seemed a bit brighter.

It hasn't been tested with any lora as of yet.

Lastly, I can't pay the yellow buzz to continuously feature the model or get it loaded onto the sight, so download it, if you want to bid on it then more power to you.

How I've been using this model:

Steps: 25

CFG: 5

Sampler: euler_a
