Serenity: a photorealistic base model
Welcome to my corner!
I'm creating Dreambooths, LyCORIS, and LORAs. If you want to know how I do those, here is the guide: https://civarchive.com/articles/7/dreambooth-lycoris-lora-guide
I have a Buy Me A Coffee page if you want to support me ( https://www.buymeacoffee.com/malcolmrey ). You can also leave a request there if you want me to do something specific.

Here is the process of how I did it:
I was using a script from this repository: https://github.com/Faildes/Chattiori-Model-Merger
and those were the commands:
python merge.py "WS" "C:/Development/StableDiffusion/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion" "photon_v1.safetensors" "realisticVisionV30_v30VAE.ckpt" --alpha 0.45 --save_safetensor --save_half --output "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging/merged-model-v0"python merge.py "WS" "C:/Development/StableDiffusion/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion" "juggernaut_final.safetensors" "wyvernmix_v9.safetensors" --alpha 0.45 --save_safetensor --save_half --output "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging/merged-model-v1"python merge.py "WS" "C:/Development/StableDiffusion/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion" "epicrealism_pureEvolutionV3.safetensors" "cyberrealistic_v31.safetensors" --alpha 0.45 --save_safetensor --save_half --output "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging/merged-model-v2"python merge.py "WS" "C:/Development/StableDiffusion/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion" "analogMadness_v50.safetensors" "absolutereality_v10.safetensors" --alpha 0.45 --save_safetensor --save_half --output "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging/merged-model-v3"python merge.py "WS" "C:/Development/StableDiffusion/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion" "icbinpICantBelieveIts_final.safetensors" "madvision_v40.safetensors" --alpha 0.45 --save_safetensor --save_half --output "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging/merged-model-v4"python merge.py "WS" "C:/Development/StableDiffusion/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion" "perfection_v30Pruned.safetensors" "DriveE/civitai3/huns_v10.safetensors" --alpha 0.45 --save_safetensor --save_half --output "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging/merged-model-v5"python merge.py "WS" "C:/Development/StableDiffusion/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion" "DriveE/civitai3/metagodRealRealism_v10.safetensors" "DriveE/civitai3/unrealityV20_v20.safetensors" --alpha 0.45 --save_safetensor --save_half --output "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging/merged-model-v6"python merge.py "WS" "C:/Development/StableDiffusion/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion" "DriveE/civitai3/succubusmix_v21.safetensors" "reliberate_v10.safetensors" --alpha 0.45 --save_safetensor --save_half --output "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging/merged-model-v7"python merge.py "WS" "C:/Development/StableDiffusion/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion" "DriveE/civitai/pornvision_final.safetensors" "DriveE/civitai/edgeOfRealism_eorV20Fp16BakedVAE.safetensors" --alpha 0.45 --save_safetensor --save_half --output "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging/merged-model-v8"python merge.py "ST" "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging" "merged-model-v0.safetensors" "merged-model-v1.safetensors" --model_2 "merged-model-v2.safetensors" --alpha 0.33 --beta 0.33 --save_safetensor --save_half --output "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging/merged-st-model-v0"python merge.py "ST" "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging" "merged-model-v3.safetensors" "merged-model-v4.safetensors" --model_2 "merged-model-v5.safetensors" --alpha 0.33 --beta 0.33 --save_safetensor --save_half --output "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging/merged-st-model-v1"python merge.py "ST" "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging" "merged-model-v0.safetensors" "merged-model-v1.safetensors" --model_2 "merged-model-v2.safetensors" --alpha 0.33 --beta 0.33 --save_safetensor --save_half --output "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging/merged-st-model-v0"python merge.py "ST" "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging" "merged-st-model-v0.safetensors" "merged-st-model-v1.safetensors" --model_2 "merged-st-model-v2.safetensors" --alpha 0.33 --beta 0.33 --save_safetensor --save_half --output "D:/Development/StableDiffusion/SDModels/Models/merging/merged-st-model-final"As you can see, first I merged 18 models using Weighted Sum, so there were 9 pairs.
Afterwards, I merged triples using Sum Twice which in turn produced 3 models that were again merged using Sum Twice to get the final product.
I've selected 18 models that are proven to work well with my LyCORIS and LoRA models. I've applied the same testing that I do to other models and I was happy with the results (not going to rank my model since I'm biased, but I was happy with the good-to-bad ratio).
Where this model shines IMHO are the eyes and mouth.
My long-term goals were (are?) to make a decent base model and then further fine-tune it on high-quality photographs of people. But with the SDXL on the horizon, I'm not sure when/if I will have time to do it (fingers crossed?) so at least I'm doing the first part - the base model as a checkpoint merge.

Hi Malcom,
Awesome work. Everything you put out on here is extraordinary.
I noticed you used locon on the Natalie Portman and Erin Moriarty pictures. I haven't seen these on Civitai. Are you posting these somewhere else?
Thanks for all your fantastic work.
Thanks for the kind words! :)
Those locons are not uploaded yet, but no worries - they will be! :)
@malcolmrey incredible work, thank you. Is there another way to support/contact you besides the BMAC page? I can't get it to accept my payment =(
@rr41 i'm glad you enjoy my work! :)
if you want to contact me, you can hit me up by email: [email protected] :)
I was thinking about creating a patreon in the future, but at the moment we could think about Paypal or something :)
anyway, you can think about some models you would like to see, my supporters get to pick who can be made sooner :P (and also there is a Megaupload link for the impatient ones ;P)
cheers!
Can you release some of the LORAs you use please? The BDH one is amazing.
Everything will be released, eventually, patience my Friend! :)
@malcolmrey yea, i was like where's Bryce at? she's and Betty are awesome sir. btw nice model, it's very good.
BDH has just been released :)
@malcolmrey Oh, good. Some of those actress Lora's look amazing with your model. If they're yours I can't wait till you upload them!
@lokithorodin yup, there are waiting for release :-)
need to do some samples and just put them on the site, it takes time,
but must of them i have waiting in my mega link that is available to my supporters over buymeacoffee (for those lesss patient :P)
