    The model I think is fairly self explanatory.

    The intention of this checkpoint is to be used in concert with Style LoRA's, while it's fine on it's own, it's true merit is in being a decent neutral checkpoint for Style LoRA's to work well with less effort and frustration by the user. I have provided 10 sets of 2 images, 10 have a 1:1 prompt including the LoRA of a model I've done in the past's cover image accompanied by a second image that is just THIS checkpoint without any LoRA attached. I believe all images were generated with DPM++2 at around 32 steps with 32 steps denoise-highres fix at a strength of 50 I think. I figure that's a pretty decent standard as a sort of legacy sampler you can easily use to compare between models and such. It's not personally what I use, but it works.

    So as you can probably see I was busy again for the last few days and vanished again like I do every month. I decided to embark on another one of these shots in the dark to create a checkpoint specifically for being used with LoRA's to generate images the way that the LoRA should look like in a neutral enviroment without the LoRA's weights being overpowered by the checkpoint Data, so I spent a bit of time trying to think of how I could make that work with A. Not knowing what anything does. B. Not knowing what I can use as 'neutral' art. and C. Somehow having success without being able to explain why it works the way it does that I was successful having learned that I'm pretty good at just randomly guessing how A.I works to make stuff out of it.

    Back to my devilish tricks.

    Works well at a strength of 1
