<h2 id="designed-by-ktiseos-nyx.">Designed by Ktiseos Nyx.</h2>Designed by OTN Angel of Ktiseos Nyx, and tested by Ktiseos Nyx's Duskfallcrew (Ktiseos Taco Dusk is my other nickname lmao)If you're interested in supporting us in our long standing AI journey please scroll down for ways to connect &amp; sponsor us!<h3 id="merge-and-training-details">🛠️ Merge &amp; Training Details</h3>The backbone of any of our mixes are built upon numerous LoRAs, many of which were trained in-house by Ktiseos Nyx. We're always experimenting and creating! Due to the wonderfully rapid pace of Ktiseos Nyx's LoRA development, we confess that sometimes the exact lineage of merged checkpoints becomes a delightful mystery. We believe in training as much as we can ourselves, but the spirit of community and shared creation is vital!<h3 id="recommended-settings">✨ Recommended Settings</h3>To get the best out of ANY of our models, try these settings:<ul><li>Samplers: Euler or Euler Ancestral</li><li>Scheduler: Karras</li><li>Negative Prompt: Generally not needed! The model is designed to perform well without one, but feel free to experiment based on your preferences.</li><li>HiRes Fix:<ul><li>Steps: 15</li><li>Denoise: 0.3</li><li>Upscale: 2x</li></ul></li><li>Upscalers: Rex, 4x_Remacri, or your personal favorite.</li><li>ADetailer: Use sparingly. Due to potential VAE differences, it might occasionally produce grey squares.</li><li>Embeddings: We've used some of our own custom embeddings to showcase character types in our examples, but no stylistic embeddings were necessary to achieve the core look.</li><li>LoRA Compatibility: Chances are good that most LoRAs will work with this. However, be aware that while they will function, the result might not perfectly align with your expectations if the LoRA heavily influences style. It's a "What You See Is What You Get" situation with the base model's strong aesthetic – it'll likely produce a good image, just perhaps not the one you had in mind with a very specific LoRA.</li></ul><h3 id="acknowledgements">🙏 Acknowledgements</h3>A huge thank you to the incredible community members whose work and inspiration contribute so much.
