☁️ 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.
