Pumpkin Fox is a custom Illustrious checkpoint made by combining a few other checkpoints and mixing in some of my favorite LoRAs as well as a few unreleased experimental things. The final step was to blend in my Nightmare Grunge LoRA fairly heavily (20% weight!) to give it a richer shadow depth, better grunge details, and an overall realism boost.

This is (obviously) designed for anthro type characters, but it can certainly create humans, landscapes, abstract and concept art as well. I tried to strike a good balance between quality and flexibility, and this handles many diverse characters and environments nicely. It is not "intended" for NSFW, but is fully capable of creating it if prompted to do so.

Some general guidelines for best use:

Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE or Euler A

Scheduler: Karras

Steps: 36

Default Illustrious VAE is baked in, or use your own.

to prompt multiple characters:

duo, (*character 1 traits*), (*character 2 traits*), scene description, masterpiece

The showcase images were made in Forge UI and used a wide variety of denoising (highres fix) strengths- as low as 0.4 and as high as 0.8. This takes denoising really well, but when using it with LoRAs you might need to drop down to 0.3 or lower so as not to break them. For each image I did multiple gens of the same seed at different denoising strengths to find the best on a per-image basis. I also used a very small amount of in-painting/fixing on some of them. This is, for my uses, a very capable model, but it is still Illustrious- expect wild randomness and having to sort through a few gens to get the perfect version of an image that you wanted.

This is made available to create with here on CivitAI or locally on your computer, but please do not upload to another website (Seaart, Tensor Art, etc.) or redistribute it elsewhere- I expressly revoke that permission.
