UnNamedIXL

An "almost" realistic checkpoint, because pure realistic models feels too uncanny for me yet.

Usage:

• DPM++ 2M SDE Heun + SGM Uniform

• 30 steps

• CFG 4

• Positive prompt: Adding realistic is not mandatory but gives better results

• Negative prompt: IllusN3g

Long Story™

First, special thanks to @rambo943 who gave me the idea and the base for this model.

The release of RealismHarem and my tests (and the associated message received) gave me the hint that merging a bit of my other checkpoints into it could be a way to "cure" a real realistic model to better fit my current mood.

The merge started as a CosineB merge of RealismHarem into CuteIXL.

Then, i added MM Gothic NJ + Asian Beauty XL + Eyes High Definition + Snake Oil to get a specific style to the picture.

But since i threaded too much outside of the realistic feel i wanted, I redid a merge with the previous checkpoint before integrating a bit of HoJ.

Afterward, Web Realistic Illustrious got in the mix at small dose and step by step, on the course of 9 Release Candidates, i smoothed the result but adding and substracting RealismHarem and some of my checkpoints at block level until i got what i wanted.

Thanks for reading! 💖
