V1 was already great at prompt adherence, V2 blows it out of the water.Manifestations is a razor-edged Illustrious XL merge engineered to summon thought-forms that feel alive: half-illustration, half-flesh, all obsession. Every curve, glitch, and glow is a deliberate psychic echo—your Tulpa made visible, tangible, and dangerously responsive. From candlelit tavern wenches to chrome-veined net-sirens, this checkpoint doesn’t render fantasy; it manifests it with surgical semi-realism and a whisper of the uncanny.<h3 id="compatibility-note:">Compatibility note:</h3>This checkpoint has been merged and tested in ComfyUI, where it is primarily optimized for. Results in A1111 WebUI, Forge, and other platforms may differ and are not officially tested.In theory, you should be able to drop the model in whatever program you choose, and have no issue, however I can’t guarantee that. For best results, please use this model in ComfyUI, and play with settings. My recommended parameters below are meant for guidance, not gospel.<h3 id="sweet-spot-settings:">Sweet Spot Settings:</h3><ul><li>Resolution: 832×1216 (portrait glory) | 1024×1024 (square flex)</li><li>Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras</li><li>Steps: 30 (crisp, no bloat)</li><li>CFG: 3-5 (let your thought-forms breathe)</li><li>Clip Skip: 2</li></ul>What It Craves Feed it layered prompts: ethereal emergence, texture (lace, chrome, ectoplasm), dynamic lighting, and your signature Tulpa branding. Quality tags are important—masterpiece, ultra-detailed, 8k, subsurface scattering.Pro Tip: Either start with no negative prompt and add things as you like, or just an embedding. A little goes a long way with negative prompts! Summon responsibly. Once manifested, some thought-forms don’t fade.ViciousTulpa | Manifestations IL

Manifestations IL

This is a departure from previous iterations of the Manifestations model, as I'm finding it too similar to my other model, Mind Virus. In order to differentiate between the two, I must adjust the styles. I'm super happy with where Mind Virus is right now, so I decided to make the big change to Manifestations. It's still the same under the hood, just with a new coat of paint. Enjoy!
