This is a merge of a curated set of checkpoints to incorporate data that's been trained onto the Pony v6 checkpoint.

The specific merge technique used aims to maintain as many strengths of each merged model while minimizing conflict and "drowning" from tension between them. This is a custom technique I have developed.

This model version achieves higher detail; especially in regards to skin texture.

But it at the moment does so at the cost of some stability and prompt adherence. So for now this is only a release candidate that you can try - if you find the model hard to work with use v1 instead.
