(illustrious was the base, if I'm not mistaken). A merge of my PonyXL model, (Adamah Mix XL - v1.5 | Stable Diffusion Checkpoint | Civitai ), PaSancturary ( PaSanctuary (SDXL, IllustriousXL) - v1.0 | Stable Diffusion XL Checkpoint | Civitai ), IllustriousXL ( Illustrious-XL - v0.1 | Stable Diffusion XL Checkpoint | Civitai ) and a bit of Luceron ( Lucereon | Artists Finetune | IllustriousXL - v1.0 | Stable Diffusion XL Checkpoint | Civitai ) It can do most of the pony loras I have messed with (i'm not sure why some didn't work), every IllustriousXL Lora i've used, and I tested two SDXL and they didn't work. used a combination of Weight sum and DARE merges at low weights. (PONY DORAS DON'T WORK, HAVEN'T TESTED ILLUSTRIOUS ONES). I don't think SDXL Loras work. Artist tags and character tags work, I recommend putting artists near the beginning any lowering the weight since some of them are strong. Can use Pony and Illustrious Loras at the same time (at least from my testing it seemed to work)
V1.2 - Mixed in MFCG Grill Mix ( MFCG Grill Mix - v1.0 | Stable Diffusion XL Checkpoint | Civitai )
V1.4 - mixed Noobai Epsilo-pred-0.5 ( NoobAI-XL (NAI-XL) - Epsilon-pred 0.5-Version | Stable Diffusion XL Checkpoint | Civitai )
V1.4 - mixed Pasancturary V2
V1.5 Mixed SpatterXL V1 - Pasancturary has tags for anime and realistic, so you can add those to get different styles
Recommended positive: (Score_9, score_7:0.6), masterpiece, best quality, good quality, newest, (I don't think pony scores should be used, they can drastically change the image and makes it not follow artstyles as well)
Recommended Negative: lowres, worst quality, bad quality, bad anatomy, jpeg artifacts, signature, watermark
24 - 32 steps, Eular A, Align Your Steps (DPM++ 3M SDE seems to work good for thick, rough, or messy illustrations/ sketches) (DPM++ 3M SDE and SGM Uniform work good from my testing)
CFG 4 - 7
These are just what I use, check the other models for more tips
(will try to see if I can merge to get SDXL loras working at some point)
