    Someone asked for Version 3.

    So here's Version 3.

    Version 3:

    Mixed with a mild style lora ontop of V2, it's still an illus v0.1 merged checkpoint. The colors aren't as deep as a Noob checkpoint might be, but I did my best to not try and alter its style too much. What's the point of NightNoob otherwise?

    Cheers.

    ===============================================

    Version 2:

    Madly Mix Ver 1.0 merged with WaiNSFWLustrious v5

    Rolled in at .25 weight.

    More malleable to styles in general, it has some functionality for pony, but it largely has a nice mellow style.

    You can try it on Tensor

    Version 1:

    It's been a little over a year since I first submitted a mix to Civitai, after fiddling around with a lot of mixes during the first part of SDXL and PDXL, Flux came, stuck around kinda, and now we have IllustriousXL.

    I was content to let other people do their magic, but I kept getting results I didn't quite want, or weren't quite to my taste, so I decided to have another go at making a checkpoint merge.


    You can use this model at Tensor Art

    Components:

    Essentials:
    Positive Prompt:

    masterpiece, best quality

    Recommended Negative Prompt:

    lowres, worst quality, low quality, bad anatomy, bad hands, 4koma, comic, greyscale, censored, jpeg artifacts

    What to expect:

    The outputs should generally be clean 2D, or 2.5D anime-style without needing to use things like 3d, realistic, photorealistic in the negs, or anime style in the positive prompts. I haven't tested any 3D or realistic images intentionally, since that's not really my speed, but you're welcome to if that's your jam.

    Cheers,

    Madly

    This is really good! The only question I have really is how can I get my images to look saturated like yours and the ones others have posted? Mine come out kind washed and lacking a color?

    adetailer is creating a washed out square where it recognizes the face. This happens with this model and a couple others. Using forge for image generation, anyone else having this problem that fixed it?

    I'm not even experiencing that, i'd need to see your settings to help you, it's possible the model you're using for Adetailer is corrupted.

    @MadlyLaughing I encountered the same issue. It is likely related to the VAE. The problem does not occur when any VAE is set. However, when Adetailer is used with the VAE set to Automatic, the issue occurs.
    Additionally, I confirmed that setting the "VAE type for decode" to TAESD also resolves the issue.
    used A1111 v1.10.1 and adetailer v24.11.1.

    @markwatkin That is what it looked like to me. I'm currently using "Use same VAE" on Adetailer which is strange. But you're right, I just selected SDXL normal VAE in the overall settings and it relieved the issue. Thanks!

    I love this model but it is so inconsistent. Am I doing something wrong? I get such good results to such bad ones.

    Outside of RNG, it depends on your settings and what you're using with it. Can you describe what you're calling bad results?

    By far the best Illustrious model (ver Illustrious) I've used so far! Somehow things just look better without artist tags. Hopeful for more updates in the future :)

    hopefully this model gets another update that can handle more concepts.
