This checkpoint is a personal merge I threw together. I prefer the versatility of HomoSimile XL V4 when combined with 2D style LoRAs but I also like the semi-realism of Kageillustrious V8.
The difference is very subtle but I've included examples to compare the models. I also borrowed a few prompts from both of the original models (2 from each) to show how this model generates without character or style LoRAs added into the mix.
V1
This model is a 40% HomoSimile XL V4 + 60% Kageillustrious V8 checkpoint merge.
The settings I used in Forge Neo for my generation testing were:
4 CFG
30 steps
DPM++ 2M SDE - Karras
adetailer (specifically face_yolov8s)
4x_foolhardy_Remacri hi-res fix/upscaler.
VAE is embedded into the model.

I was doing additional testing with other model merges and realized I got the mix backward on how I described it. V1 is 40% HomoSimile V4 and 60% KageIllustrious V8.
I'll upload other versions with different mixtures.
