About this bounty

Hello all, it's Schneed. A while ago I put up this article detailing how I made models like Galena and Sardonyx.

And now it's time for that article to be put to good use. Using the information explained in the article, I want YOU to make a blend.

Here are the guidelines:
- No realistic models, or pseudo-realistic models. A good example of a pseudo-realistic model would be something like Animerge or, to a lesser extent, DarkSun. I'm not experienced with Realistic or realistic-adjacent models, so this is more so a measure of fairness than anything else. I wouldn't be a good judge of realism.
- Must be SD 1.5, safetensors format, fp16 and pruned. Any other formatting will be disregarded until it is submitted with the correct specifications.
- Must make use of the Supermerger Addon and the final product should have at least one style LoRA merged into it.
- Must provide the recipe to create the model, and provide any resources that were used to create the model. If I can't replicate it on my machine, then it might not be considered.
- Must provide four raw generations, with no edits in post. Adetailer, Hires Fix, etc. recommended.

Now, let's get into criteria. I will select the winner off of these qualities:
- Versatility (Is it capable of generating a wide amount of subjects?)
- Distinctness (Does it set itself apart from any other model available currently?)
- Detail and fussiness (Does it generate hands well? Can it work without coaxing it in a specific way?)
- Merging and LoRA use (Did you merge for your own base model? What LoRAs did you use to get your result? How creative were you in your process?)
- General quality of images generated

Each participant is allowed two entries. Best of luck.
(P.S. If anything is unclear with the article I wrote, let me know. I want everyone participating to have a fair chance.)
