SugoiXL

Nothing super special, just merged a few models together to get a specific look I was after for chibi characters.

It does a broad variety of anime and related art styles. In can do realistic but it's very bad at it.

Euler a and DPM++ 3M SDE Karras seem to give the best results depending on the style you're after, sampler seems to play a bit part in recreating particular drawing styles.

CFG Scale 4-11 all work very well, I generally leave it at 7 and tweak if needed.

30-40 Steps

Turbo version settings: 8-10 steps CFG 1.5-3 seems to work best depending on prompt. I've only tested using the Euler A Turbo sampler on ForgeUI.

Negatives are rarely needed, only add them if it's adding something to the image you don't want. (Pretty standard for most SDXL models)

Can do NSFW as well as SFW, though it's not "hardcore" so you'll need a LoRa or a different model for that.

All images I've posted to this model are straight from the model, a few may have hires fix with 0.25 denoise and a couple have adetailer used, usually for further away subjects. None of them have inpainting done even though civit tags them that way.
