I needed something to test out all the different LORAS I make without constantly switching checkpoints all the time.
So I decided to combine three of my favorite and most commonly used Checkpoints into one.
Photon, Dreamshaper 8 and M4RV3LS & DUNGEONS - NEW! v4.0

I do recommend using a vae https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse-original/blob/main/vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.safetensors
and upscaler https://civitai.com/models/141491/4x-nmkd-superscale
This model helps me get photo-realism, CGI, comic, anime and even manga styles just through simple prompts, while keeping the colors crisp and fresh looking with nice sharp image and contrast.
Make sure you download all the wonderful original checkpoints as they all have their strengths individually.
