V2

Rework of the V1, with a similar approach, with just a few more LoRA to give it some oomph.

Still based on Pony XL v6, before jumping on the Illustrious/NAI XL trend :D

Recipe:

BancinBase (using SuperMerger): - All Disney Princesses V1 (1.0) [Tried the Pony version, V1 still the better fit] - ExpressiveH (0.65) ❤ - InCase Style [PonyXL] V3 (0.55) ↑ 0.05 - Vixon's Pony Styles Gothic Neon V2 (0.35) ↓ 0.1 - Cutesexyrobutts Style PDXL V3 (0.25) 🆕 [After dimension rework from 16 to 32] - Vintage 1990s Anime SDXL LoRA (Style) Pony V3 (0.2) 🆕 - Style for PonyXL V6 - Smooth 2 (0.15) 🆕 - Detail Tweaker XL - V1 (1.2) 🆕 [After dimension rework from 16 to 32]

BancinTemp (using Checkpoint Merger): - 0.8 x BancinBase + 0.2 x BancinXL V1 - Baked in VAE: FlatPieceXL (switch from SharpSpectrum, still good colors, just less strong)

BancinXL_V2 (using SuperMerger): - BancinTemp + (0.4) x Detailed/Perfect Hands

Usage:

I have added a step/sampler comparison to help choose, but the model works good with the classics without any issues. Euler a give more smooth picture while DPM++ 2M give more crisp results.

For Euler a, 40 steps give a better looking result, while only 20 steps are enough for DPM++ 2M.

DPM++ 2M SDE change the composition a bit but is nice for experiments.

I tend to use CFG between 4 and 6 to give more or less liberty to the generation, but that's a personal preference.
