This is a rebuild of my other Natural Noob XL VPRED model, now based on NoobAI EPS and Illustrious models. A large handful of popular and obscure checkpoints and LoRas have been repeatedly merged into the mix using my own semi-random merging system and then I hand-picked the best result at each step using a series of tests to ensure a fairly consistent quality.

The goal is a NoobAI checkpoint that is easy to use and works for almost any prompt, with a range of knowledge and styles.

Usage Tips:

For the best balance between color and prompt accuracy I like a CFG between 4.0 to 6.0 and 22-32 steps.

For some example images I process multiple prompts independently and then concatenate the weights together (helps the model to avoid mixing unrelated subjects). I reconstructed those prompts in the image metadata using "BREAK" to denote where the prompts are concatenated, for compatibility with other workflows that use BREAK syntax.

Use a mixture of danbooru & e621 tags, and very simple sentences.
