Ion Mix

I've come to realize that I've fallen into the trap of making generic anime model after model, so I decided to try and make a merge that incorporated only non-anime models. I think it turned out pretty well though it can be a little inconsistent when it comes to outlines.

Disclaimer: This model is intentionally focused on generating women and is slightly NSFW leaning as that's the content I mainly generate. If you're not using it for that, your mileage may vary.

Usage Guidelines:

Positive Prompt:

Start with "(masterpiece, highest quality, illustration)". "arms by side" helps with keeping messed-up hands out of portraits.

Negative Prompt:

"(worst quality, low quality:1.4), poorly drawn, bad anatomy, wrong anatomy, blurry, open mouth" seems to work best for most things; you may occasionally need to prompt against other things.

VAE:

I just use vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.

Sampler:

DPM ++2M, , karras sigma algorithm, 25 steps, discard penultimate sigma

CFG 7
Upscaler:

RealEsgran 4x+ is what I used to generate the example images; RealESGRAN 4x+ Anime6B also works.

10 steps, 0.5 strength, 2x upscale, secondary sampler DPM 2M++ (if your webui gives you that option)
Adetailer:

For faces, use face_yolo8vn with no prompting. If you want to use it for hands as well, use hand_yolo8vn with "hand" in the positive prompt - I don't usually use Adetailer on hands since it doesn't work that well.

Formula:

V1:

Part A = A-Zovya RPG Artist Tools V3 + Arthemy Comics V7 MBW CUBIC_HERMITE

Part B = Occidental Mix v3.0 + Part A MBW WRAP14

Part C = Part A + Occidental Mix v3.0 MBW WRAP16
Mix = Part B + Part C MBW REVERSE_SMOOTHSTEP
