A side-grade merge of several of my models (SteinIllustrious, Augenstein, and Illustein) using Merge Block Weighted merging experimentally - something that's new to me. This particular prototype seems to be a bit better at furry art than others, and folks seem to like the results, so, I figure it's time to give it an upload. Recommended sampler: DDPM Step Count: 30-40 Scheduler: Align Your Steps GITS CFG: 4.5-5.5 Recognizes source and score tags (though these are not required), and tends to reach its peak aesthetics without a negative prompt.

Furstein

More furry-friendly, still versatile, colorful, and creative. This is the culmination of several months worth of attempting varying blends within my model families to try to squeeze a bit more out of this one. It borrows a fair bit of the coloring and stylization of my NuRay V1 model, which is a sizeable chunk of the merge. Most of the sample images are vanilla generations, without addons like ADetailer, to demonstrate the model's basic capability, with a few higher detail versions.
