<h1 id="hello-this-is-ether-blu-mix-ragtu1he4">🔹☁️ Hello, this is Ether Blu Mix ☁️🔹</h1>Ether Blu Mix is a stylized anime model specialized in creating character illustrations with vibrant colors, expressive backgrounds and a painterly feel. Based on Silicon29 and Counterfeit 3, I consider this my interpretation of a pastel-mix style of model.✨ Please Share Your Cool Creations Below! ✨<h2 id="*-version-7-update:-p4hiq6i3j">* Version 7 Update:</h2>Ether Blu 7, while being largely a weights focused change, looks to further enhance the lighting focused, slightly niji feel of EBM 6 as well as its painterly origins.Might be a little overcooked. Some prompts and generations, particularly those with heavier quality related keywords and negative prompts, are more likely to experience this. Please use the recommended negative prompts to help alleviate it.VAE is baked, same one I've always preferred.Thanks everyone, have fun. I'll be looking forward to your feedback!<h3 id="-vivk5jkf8"></h3><h3 id="*-huggingface-archive-48zjt7zvk"><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/gamerdan69/EtherMix">* Huggingface Archive</a></h3><h3 id="-3aoj10e1s"></h3><h2 id="generation-recommendations-1uy2kb66b">☄️ Generation Recommendations</h2>Use whatever sampler, steps, CFG, clip-skip you prefer.Sample images were generated with<ul><li>Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras</li><li>Steps: 20 - 28</li><li>CFG: 7 - 11</li><li>Clip Skip: 1</li><li>ENSD: 31337</li></ul>Increasing CFG can lead to more vibrant results.Negative Prompt Example:"NSFW, (worst quality, low quality:1.3)"I recommend this simple negative prompt if you wish to achieve a similar style to the preview images.

Ether Blu Mix

* Version 6 Update:Hey everyone,Ether Blu 6 is focused on capturing some of the "clean" and slightly animated feeling of Ether Blu 4 while retaining the vibrant colors and painterly texture of Ether Blu 5. I also looked to improve its lighting as I enjoyed the atmospheric light seen in TMND and Lunar Radiance.More detailed changes:Base model has changed fromAOM3 + Counterfeit3toCounterfeit3 + Silicon29Dark<ul><li>AOM3's NSFW aspect felt unnecessary as Ether Blu isn't NSFW focused. Silicon29 offers similar flexibility while having better low-light performance.</li></ul>-Pastel Mix, Basil Mix, and Ayoni Mix have been replaced with AW Painting 1.1 and Lunar Radiance. Pastel Mix was removed as it felt redundant as I'm utilizing the LORA's it was created with. Basil and Ayoni were removed to utilize models that felt more '2D' focused. In particular, AW Painting for the faces, Lunar Radiance for lighting.The added LORA's look to compliment and enhance Ether Blu's pastel, painterly feel as well as its new lighting style.The VAE is baked (finally) as I kept seeing generations with the wrong VAE applied.Thanks everyone, busy at the moment and will update everything soon.Happy holidays! 🎉📘 Model Merging Info - v6I have no training or real knowledge of machine learning.
