Version Choosing Advice:V2f,V3,Coda and V3.5 are recommended,especially CODA for first-time users.
Hard to tell how many models used to merge.
Check the example images to recognize this model's art style
For more example images, just take a look at https://pixai.art
More attention on shades and backgrounds compared with former models(Andromeda-Mix | Stable Diffusion Checkpoint | Civitai)
Hands-fix is still waiting to be improved.
Highres-fix(upscaler) is strongly recommended(using the SwinIR_4x,R-ESRGAN 4x+anime6B by myself) in order to not make blurry images.
(Sorry for the misunderstanding caused by myself."Bad_prompt_v2:1.4" is a kind of embedding recognized as collection of normal negative prompts such as"lowres,bad anatomy".)
Recommend: Clip skip 2 Sampler:DPM++2M Karras Steps:20+
CFG scale:4-8 Vae:Pastel-Waifu-Diffusion.vae.pt(The vae used by Pastel-mix si just good enough)
Highres.fix:SwinIR_4x Hires steps:10+ Denoising strength:0.4+ Upscale by: 1.5+
Loras along with embeddings on hands-fix are strongly recommended.
