I was out of the scene for several months and a lot has changed during this time, so this may be a little outdated, but I still wanted to share.

This is a never-ending-WIP of a model merge that I have used for my old images, just slightly refreshed. It was supposed to try to bring the eastern watercolor on canvas look of models like:

oriental_mix v2 - v2.5 | Stable Diffusion Checkpoint | Civitai

to some more western-comics dark fantasy style characters. It resulted in a funny gothic mishmash.

It's comprised of many mixes of mixes so I don't fully remember what's in there but some honorable mentions should go to:

A-Zovya RPG Artist Tools - V3 | Stable Diffusion Checkpoint | Civitai

RPG - RPG V4 | Stable Diffusion Checkpoint | Civitai

iCoMix - iCoMix V05 | Stable Diffusion Checkpoint | Civitai

and the glorious gothic mess of King Crimson - v1 | Stable Diffusion Checkpoint | Civitai

It can be used both with CLIP skip 1

and CLIP skip 2

The key to getting results similar to the ones I had is to experiment with the below quality keywords:

inked, splash art, cover art, illustration, looking at viewer, impasto, canvas, oil painting, realistic, realist ,real

and ashenhard style,

mix and match them and see what happens,

Note that the model is prone to hallucinating some spear-sword-crucifix-shaped weapons which, while being metal AF, may require some serious inpainting to look like something someone may actually want to use in combat.

You may try to minimize the chances of this happening with negatives.

You can also force a more anime-like aesthetic with mature characters by using my De-loli-yfier: a somewhat-mature anime face inpainting mix - v0.1 | Stable Diffusion Checkpoint | Civitai + this LORA Mommyfy | Real mature anime women/milfs - v2.0 | Stable Diffusion LoRA | Civitai

this merge was not created with NSFW as the main objective but it can deliver (see other examples).
