<h1 id="hello-this-is-ether-real-mix-l0hg1u80l">🔸🌤️ Hello, this is Ether Real Mix 🌤️🔸</h1>Ether Real Mix is a stylized realism model focused on flexibility. It's capable of producing a variety of subjects in multitudes of styles. It still has some shortcomings inherit to anime models such as light biases in generating females and humans.This model is intended to act as a 'blank canvas'. Add your favorite LORA's and embeddings to customize it to your liking!✨ Please Share Your Cool Creations Below! ✨<h3 id="*-ether-real-mix-version-4-5w9405zf6">* Ether Real Mix - Version 4</h3>Ether Real Mix 4 looks to further refine the realistic/semi-realistic aesthetic through LORA block merging, updating ingredients, and (hopefully) improving anatomy and hands within the constraints of a realistic SD 1.5 model.I shuffled out a lot of models that felt redundant or just no longer fit the goals of Ether Real. The aesthetic is tuned towards a Niji inspired feel thanks to <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/Terry9993">Terry9993's</a> Niji styled LORA's. Overall, I'm looking to strike a balance between anime-esque realism while also not having outputs that feel too derivative of Nijijourney.VAE is baked in.More detailed list of changes coming soon(tm).SDXL/Pony model coming soon(tm)?<s>SD3 coming soon(tm)?</s><h3 id="-ye61tx121"></h3><h3 id="*-huggingface-archive-0x1czxi7t"><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/gamerdan69/EtherMix">* Huggingface Archive</a></h3><h3 id="-fpnst4s8t"></h3><h2 id="generation-recommendations-vm6814rdd">☄️ Generation Recommendations</h2>* All preview images were generated with no LORA's, embeddings, extensions or img to img/inpainting.

Ether Real Mix

* Ether Real Mix - Version 2.1Version 2.1 focuses on style, adding BasilMix to improve realism, with the core of Ether Blu to enhance colors while also subtly shifting facial proportions to be more stylized/anime. Though version 2 was quite versatile, its overall style was lacking, often becoming too realistic to be called an anime model. With 2.1 Ether Real looks to find its own stylistic identity while retaining its flexibility.<ul><li>Do some faces feel weird?
