Hey everyone!

This is my first try at merging the model. Please be gentle, but let me know what you think. :)

Recently, I discovered Illustrious, which has opened a new door for me in terms of creativity.

I don't have any recommendations for key settings, but I usually use the next option:

CFG - 6.0

Steps - 60

Sampler - dpmpp_2m

Scheduler - Karras

To make the primary image more realistic, use a latent upscaler with denoise level = 0.6

Merged checkpoints:

• NTR MIX | illustrious-XL | Noob-XL - 50%

• Rillusm · Realistic Illustrious - 50%

Merged loras:

• Midjourney mimic - (0.6)

• Darker Than Dark - (0.35)

• ????? Size Slider - (-0.5) (It's weird, but it gives a sweet effect to the style)

The model's default drawing style is semi-realistic, and it's quite creative. However, I think it's very sensitive to quality tags (realistic, 2D, 3D, anime). I'm not sure if that's a positive or a negative. And it's suitable for creating any type of content (SFW/NSFW).

I would appreciate feedback, posting images, criticism, praise, etc.

All of the images in the preview are created using ComfyUI in my workflow. And without any loras.
