(I'll be updating it shortly).All v4 example images showcase the base model only, rendered in a single pass at high resolutions, with No detailers, LORAs, embeddings or upscaling, with only 2 - 3 exceptions. I'm using the <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://comfyai.run/documentation/PatchModelAddDownscale">Kohya Deep Srink</a> node to maintain stability at higher resolutions.There's a simplified workflow embedded in each of my v4 gallery images.

He created a series of images using <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/507472?modelVersionId=1413921">Uncanny valley</a> for the initial steps &amp; my <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/885893?modelVersionId=1989438">fabled Illusion</a> model as a refiner. I created a style Lora from those outputs and included it in this merge. This is an attempt to recreate that look in a singe model while preserving as much of the Illustrious knowledge base as possible.on the image generation side, this is roughly 50% Illustrious &amp; 50% XL (mostly <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/502468?modelVersionId=991916">bigASP</a>), while the CLIP more heavily favors Illustrious at about 65%.<h3 id="notes-and-tips:">🗈 Notes &amp; Tips:</h3>(to be expanded over time),<pre><code>Preferred Sampler / Scheduler combos: in order preference: 
DPM++ 2M_SDE_GPU, / SGM_uniform, Simple, beta, 
DPM++ 2M_SDE, / SGM_uniform, Simple, beta, 
DPM++ 3M_SDE_GPU, / Simple, SGM_uniform, beta,
Euler_A, / Simple, beta, SGM_uniform, exponential,
DPM++ 3M_SDE, / Simple, SGM_uniform, beta,
heun, / Simple, beta, (Sometimes garbage, sometimes pure gold)
dpmpp_2M, / beta, (same as the last one, hit or miss depending on scenario, but when it behaves, it's a clear winner, after some trial &amp; error it becomes more predictable).
DDPM / ddim_uniform, (High accuracy with clean details, a bit of a washout - overexposed effect, but with higher CFG's &amp; / or charged terms in your prompting, this can become the best option.)
Karras, tends to overcook things and glitch eyes, I almost never use it, (I know people swear by it, it's great for many scenarios / models but generally not with mine. 
Exponential, pairs well with LCM to mitigate washout
AYS, works well, but I prefer LCM with this model.
------
Patch Model Add Downscale (Kohya Deep Shrink), 
is a default node in Comfy that greatly increases image stability by compressing the Unet model during the 1st compositional stage of image generation then re-expanding it for fine details.
Parameters of concern include: 
Block number: (3 is default but 4 can also be useful in some instances).
Downscale Factor: (I use 1.5 as a default but will go as low as 1.25 for resolutions close to standard, &amp; sometimes as high as 2 if pushing the upper limits.
End Percent: (this is the percentage of total steps, the point at witch the unet will decompress. You can generally leave this at 0.35, but I sometimes make slight adjustments if I'm trying to eliminate a pesky error.
