In Norse mythology, Ratatoskr (Old Norse, generally considered to mean "drill-tooth" or "bore-tooth") is a squirrel who runs up and down the world tree Yggdrasil to carry messages between the eagle perched atop Yggdrasil and to the roots of the tree to Nidhogg.
This model is Fine-tuned for Animals / Creatures and Furries but can do way more :
This model can do:
Photorealistic
Digital Art
Anime
Comic
Vector Graphics
Line art
Stickers
can write short text
etc
This is the Flux variant of Ratatoskr I fine-tuned on a merge of DemonFlux
Note: This on trained on a dataset at around 2500+ Pictures of the SDXL Version.
So the model is in some aspects still behind the sdxl model. and still in (WIP)
I recommend using the workflow with sdxl refining with the ratatoskr sdxl model
Note: the model is using an custom clip_l it's in the training and in the Ratatoskr Flux Workflow
You can test the workflow and model here:
Ratatoskr - Creature - Generator [Flux Version]
Changelog:
V1: Fine-tuned on 525 Pictures first version
V2:
so after the first " test version" with limited dataset i added another finetune with 2000 Pictures
so in total we now at 2500 pictures now so what has changed?
more consistent
some better details even without the sdxl refiner
better with lora use than V1
changed a bit the contrast level
better with nsfw
etc
to be honest this model was the most expensive i ever made so far over the time because i used external hardware again. so it will stay for now at this stage till i manage to use my own hardware.
Note: the model has a tendency for realistic and photo to correct that use the flat colors tag ;-)
V4
Model got a Huge Finetune trained at around 12K images overall, also added some own loras inside the model.
V4.10
Added an unreleased detail Lora i made into the model include a small amount of the flux hyper lora
Fixed some Color Degradation Issues caused possible by overtraining
fixed some precision issues
more stability
added some new specim and smaller details
model got a bit faster
This Model is in Early Access because ongoing tests (so this Version is still WIP)
More Details
more specim
also trained in some more art styles
better nsfw
V5.94
This model Version is Basically a new version based on V4.1 and my model Midgard Flux + new detail loras i made especially for this model.
Its unclear if this model is still a schnell model so i call it a hybrid Dev1. ;-)
the model is more precise
more details
overall more creatures
- but also a bit slower overall I can recommend this settings to start with:
Sampler: Deis
Scheduler: Beta
Steps: between 15-30 steps (25 recommended)
CFG: Between 2 and 4
There are 2 variants FP8 and GGUF (Q8)
V6.67
this model Version is basically trained from zero base model was Helheim Flux.
Updated Dataset
more detailed
for Settings:
Sampler: Deis
Scheduler: Beta
Steps: between 10- max 30 steps (16-25 recommended)
CFG: Between 2 and 4
For experimental settings:
This is a de- distilled hybrid so you can use till cfg 1.8 with a normal ksampler
recommended cfg 1.2 / 20 steps / deis / kl-optimal
V11 (Krea)
This is basically a complete new model
its based on a specific block merge between used this method: https://civarchive.com/articles/17766/guide-how-to-get-flux-krea-uncensored-and-improve-it-block-merging
Colossus_Project_KREA_Experimental,
FLUX.1-Krea-dev
and Ratatoskr (Animal, Creature and Furry) [Flux] V6.67
How the model works and technical data details visit https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Krea-dev
after that i trained on that base a small lora and mixed in that too to get the model more stable again and for design porpoise that it looks more again like my ratatoskr model a small dataset 305 images overall) this dataset is entirely generated on my ai model output i had with my previous models and its complete synthetic made by me without any real people or celeb images.
V11.39 (Krea)
Readjusted and modified some block weights of V11
added more parts of the V6.67 inside some other blocks
added parts of a new version of the upcoming furry enhancer for Krea
model more creative
the design is closer to the original model
way better with paws / hands
better in sfw and specially nsfw
more specim inside
added better fur and details
This model is recommended for realistic output on animals, anthro, furry and creature's
Note still in in development working currently still on some smaller details.
This model is porpoise is for realistic output on animals, anthro, furry and creature's but can also used for general usage
this model is for education and scientific purposes only not for commercial usage
i also can recommend using in some cases to improve hands the Furry Enhancer
An new workflow and a setting grid is in development.

Not getting any usable results with A1111. Any tips for non-comfy users? edit Looks like I may have been premature, seems A1111 doesn't "officially" support flux yet, though the dev branch does. My mistake.
Have read that forge is working with flux but I have not tested it yet. For settings I would use cfg 3.5, Euler sampler and 10 steps
@freek22 Yeah Forge is basically the dev version of A1111 now. I stick with the last good Forge standalone version that was its own project because it works - I'll wait till A1111 is past the testing phase with it before potentially breaking another install. I'll keep these settings in mind for when I do get to play with it - enjoy the early access fee regardless. :)
@Kaladae when you have the diskspace use both like me comfyUI and A1111
@tronick123256 I have Comfy, A1111, Forge, Easy Diffusion (only occasionally use it). I also have a 12TB platter RAID 1 full with checkpoints and LoRas and ~21 TB full on a server. I'm about to commandeer another 6TB external and a 1TB external because I'm running tight on space. That's one of the reasons I don't use comfy often, because I have to remember everything - Auto1111/Forge have display images to help remind me what things are/do. I also much prefer the layout of Auto/Forge regardless.
Use Forge for Flux exclusively, it has a one click installer version for easy installation, works with Flux quite well so far (though I do get the occasional crash when I use dev model + loras and my 8GB videocard starts having an existential crisis 😅)
Edit: Oh, and remember to set the LORA setting to (fb16 for lora) instead of the default, you will find the setting at the top of screen.
@Ascendant_Stoic Hm my 8GB card don't cry with Dev+Lora but use 7,8GB at gen and have a speed of 2-4 sec/it at ComfyUI, but I don't know I use a RTX3060ti, but your tip is perfect for all that don't want to use Comfy
@Ascendant_Stoic I'm holding off updating Forge because the last "non-Auto1111 dev version" still (mostly) works and is by far my preferred UI to use, I just don't have the same bog downs, slowing, memory-leak-type of issues with it - except the 30K+ resources. This last batch of LoRas I dumped into it may have been the tipping point and I may have to clean some of those out sweating
Pony does everything I need it to for now though, so I'm sticking with that till some things smooth over. It's more of just a "It'll be neat to play with it" kind of thing for now.
