| ☁️ Hello, this is Ether Blu Mix 🔵 | |
| This is a simple mix aimed at providing a semi-realistic anime style while retaining the knowledge trained on Danbooru-styled tags. Though its base model, AOM3, is fit for anime styled illustrations it's capable of other aesthetics with the correct style of prompting. | |
| The mix also biases towards females and feminine faces, likely due to their prominence within the models as well as the anime aesthetic leaning towards feminine\androgynous faces. | |
| ▼ Generation Guidelines | |
| Use whatever sampler, steps, cfg you prefer. | |
| Sample images were generated with | |
| Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras | |
| Steps: 28 | |
| CFG: 7 | |
| Clip Skip: 1 | |
| *WARNING* | |
| Please input "NSFW" in the negative prompt to reduce instances of unprompted nudity. Due to the models used within the merge there's a bias in generating NSFW imagery. | |
| Negative Prompt Example: | |
| "NSFW, (worst quality, low quality:1.3), watermark, signature" | |
| Most sample images were further upscaled using AUTO1111 Hi-res fix. Please utilize it if you wish to achieve similar results. | |
| Latent (nearest-exact) | |
| Upscale by: 2 | |
| Denoising strength: 0.55 | |
| Prompting Advice: | |
| Use short prompts mixing prose and danbooru-styled tags. Experiment and give the AI some freedom. When in doubt, change up your prompting style. | |
| General guidelines: | |
| Prompt in anime\danbooru-style models | |
| More anime style images | |
| Prompt in photography\non-anime models | |
| More realistic images | |
| The sample images were generated using Waifu Diffusion VAE kl-f8-anime2. This VAE is not mandatory. Please use whichever VAE you prefer. | |
| ▼ Model Merging | |
| I have no training or real knowledge on machine learning. I merged the model using the information provided on WarriorMama777's AOM model page. I very arbitrarily used the UBM weights given to merge and create AOM3 and its derivatives and modified the values with trial and error until I was visually happy with it. | |
| I utilized the SuperMerger extension for AUTO1111 by hako-mikan. | |
