Okay so I lied. I'm an addict who simply cannot stop tinkering with this model.

Fortunately, that just means I have a more improved version ready for the world. Version 6 has increased fidelity with more careful balancing between compositional creativity, prompt adherence, and meaningful fine details.

Whether this version will be the final version, I cannot say. But this one does feel more complete than the last.

Happy New Year!

After a few months of working on the Artsy Dream project, I've spent time curating my own data sets in order to achieve the closest possible representation of my personal aesthetic tastes... And I think I've gotten there, at least to the extent that Flux Dev can take me.

This version of Artsy Dream has some compositional and textural improvements, leaning more into the less-realistic and more fantastical nature of the model. Though, of course, it is still capable of photo-realism.

In some concepts/styles, this model is only a minor improvement/change compared to v4. In others, there are substantial stylistic changes.

Enjoy Version 5!</code></pre><h3 id="version-4-5bonn7c5c">Version 4</h3><pre><code>(release notes - 11/17/2024)
After much indecision about how I was going to release this model, I have finally decided that it will be the fourth installment of my Flagship Model Merge. 

This model marks a notable pivot in aesthetic direction. However, it remains part of previously named "Artsy Flux", and now rebranded "Artsy Dream" model page. However different, this model still utilizes much of the same dataset, producing comparable outputs.

This version demonstrates a substantial leap forward in fidelity, style versatility, and prompt adherence. More complex and precise merging methods of very specifically chosen block layers have resulted in a far more polished model. Enjoy greatly expanded 2D illustrative capabilities as well as the ability to create more abstract compositions. 

Unleash your creativity with the new "Artsy Dream" Version 4.
Enjoy!</code></pre><h3 id="version-3-f8kpytiqw">Version 3</h3><pre><code>(release notes - 11/3/2024)
Building on the improvements in version 2. I spent my time aiming to tame the noise/artifacting that inherently happens when trying to invoke the level of detail that this model has. The challenge was to retain the compositional creativity and detail, and in that, I have succeeded. 

Anime and 2D imagery in general will be possible with this version, but definitely not with the stylistic versatility as version 2 (and may take more coaxing with prompts). Based on the images that people have posted to the model galleries, I feel like the focus should be creativity and versatility in styles most commonly used. It can still do various 2D and anime styles, but functionality may not be as thorough as version 2. Everything else has been vastly improved. (there will be examples provided for reference)

The newest version of Artsy Flux improves on the advantages of version one and attempts to fix issues the original version had. Random messy noise has been greatly reduced in most contexts while maintaining the level of detail and creativity that the model is known for. Color grading has been enhanced substantially by training in properly color graded data, reducing outputs that appear to have a photo filter.

The capability to create anime in various styles has been expanded on. The model is now capable of 2D, 2.5D, and 3D anime.

Pretty happy with this version, so it may be some time until there is another. Enjoy!

(lower LoRA strengths if you're having compatibility issues)</code></pre><h2 id="model-description-4pye8zxcs">Model Description</h2>This Model is a sophisticated, carefully crafted merge of various self-trained LoRAs designed into introduce compositional and detail concepts into Flux.1 Dev in order to invoke the best aesthetics and qualities that Flux has to offer. It excels at realism with diverse environments and stylistic compositions, but is also capable of 2D imagery, adding a comparable amount of detail and artistic flair. Images produced have more cohesive color grading and lighting than most base Flux.1 Dev outputs. I want to emphasize that this model was created for the main purpose of creating images with my personally preferred aesthetics. Future versions may include more or remove style based on user usage or my preference. I will leave past versions up to account for anything that may be removed in newer versions. This artfully curated merge allows you to get the best out of Flux WITHOUT the use of detailer LoRAs.Achieve compositions and levels of detail that can even rival Flux Pro at the fast speeds of any version that works best for your local configuration:Generations taking far too long?
