NlxlMix (Illustrious 1.0)

NlxlMix v0.2 is a merge of 4 models.

Noob 1.1 Eps | Illustrious 1.0 | Rouwei v0.7 Eps | Wai-NSFW v11

This merged model started with the idea of ​​leveraging Noob's excellent dataset, Illustrious's low artificial data expressiveness, Rouwei's decent quality and artist implementation ability, and Wai's details. It was created using the Block merge method with the following recipe:

( Noob + Ilxl ) + ( Rouwei + Wai-NSFW ) = NlxlMix v0.2

Strength

Excellent artists reflection
In a personal test, I tested the reflection of the drawing styles of a total of 3999 artists from pages 1 to 200 of the Danturu artists tag.
While merging is not magic, surprisingly, the artists reflection itself boasted the most similar expressiveness to existing artists among the five merging models.

Improved Natural Language Prompt Recognition
A disadvantage of models trained with booru tags is their relatively low natural language recognition rate.
Because of this, there are cases where even basic natural language prompt cannot be implemented, but recognition has been improved through merging.

More Hand-Drawn Style
By utilizing Illustrious' Clip in the merging process, the basic drawing style present in WAI has been removed, allowing for the creation of more natural-looking drawings.

Weakness

Compared to WAI | Rouwei, lacking detail
Since it aims for a hand-drawn feel, the detailed intricacies, which are advantages of the three models mentioned, are somewhat lacking.

More difficult to use compared to WAI
It is not easy to produce quality images without basic artist combinations.
It is highly recommended to find and use artist combinations like using NAI v3.

Recommended settings

Positive: It is best to use it with natural language based on the Booru tags, and it is strongly recommended to use the artist tag.
Negative: worst quality, low quality, bad anatomy, bad hands, bad feet, extra digit, fewer digits, watermark as default, add low quality artists. Example) worst quality, low quality, bad anatomy, bad hands, bad feet, extra digit, fewer digits, watermark, chihuri, bb (baalbuddy), iesupa
CFG: Recommended value is 5
