Kenshi is my merge which were created by combining different models. This includes models such as Nixeu, WLOP, Guweiz, BoChen, and many others.

My goal is to archive my own feelings towards styles I want for Semi-realistic artstyle. Through this process, I hope not only to gain a deeper understanding of my own artistic preferences, but also to inform and refine the capabilities of my personal skills and AI Art as it generates artwork that reflects my desired style.

Kenshi because it represents strength, resilience, and the ability to adapt and overcome challenges. Just like AI.

Usage

These are my settings I always use it is recommended but not essential;

Steps: 20+

Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras

CFG scale: 2 to 7

Size: 600x800

Clip skip: 2

ENSD: 31337

Hires Fix : Enabled

Upscale by : 1.5

Upscaler : https://de-next.owncube.com/index.php/s/x99pKzS7TNaErrC

Put Upscaler file inside [YOURDRIVER:\STABLEDIFFUSION\stable-diffusion-webui\models\ESRGAN]

In this case my upscaler is inside this folder.

E:\SD\stable-diffusion-webui\models\ESRGAN

Kenshi is not recommended for new users since it requires a lot of prompt to work with I suggest using this if you still want to use the model (install it as an extension on Automatic1111 WebUI) : https://github.com/DominikDoom/a1111-sd-webui-tagcomplete

Versatility

Unlike most models, Kenshi is known for its versatility, able to perform various styles with remarkable results. I've undergone testing with over 30 to 50 styles and most of the time I get remarkable results. I recommend using Lora and Embedding to improve this even further.

VAE

I recommend kl-f8-anime2.ckpt VAE from waifu-diffusion-v1-4 which is made by hakurei.

On CivitAI, I have uploaded baked version, you do not need to install VAE anymore if you want to.

VAE is important, please download it.

Demo

We have a Demo version available on Discord.

The demo doesn't have hires and incorrect settings, so it isn't the best way to judge this model. It exists for testing reasons.

Here is my Cookbook that you can check out.

Donation

I've been working hard to complete my college education. The thing is, paying for college is no joke and I've been feeling the pressure of the mounting bills.

I know times are tough for everyone, but if you're able to help in any way, I would be forever grateful.
