(Update: There is now a "No Pixel" Version that I made to take out all the baked in Pixel art for those who want it. <3)

So I've been using other people's Merges and Checkpoints for awhile and decided to make my own merge using some of my favorite checkpoints. I am uploading this mainly for personal use and not really in any professional capacity as a merge/checkpoint maker. but let's get some of the standard prompting guide stuff out of the way.

One of the primary checkpoints used is Obsidian Anise by Sexiam:

Recommended Quality Tags:
I usually put these on the bottom/end

clean lineart, sharp outlines, precise inking, controlled shadows, high-contrast, (pixel art, dithering, pixelated, sprite art, 8-bit:1.2),

If you are using the "No Pixel" version use this instead
