My most powerful model to date, which went through multiple iterations and a lot of re-merges. There's not much else to say about it. I aimed for a 2.75D style of sorts, mostly realistic, but with a capacity (and propensity) for vivid coloration, nice light/shadow interplay and an ability to understand both anime tags and plain text. The biggest flaw I've encountered so far while using this little beast is that it has a hard time generating sex scenes. Other than that, I really enjoy using it.Recommended settings are as follows:Sampler: DPM++ 2M KarrasSampling steps: 20~30VAE: the one that comes with SD 1.5CFG Scale: 7~11Excessively long negative prompts tend to make the output worse, not better, and most negative embeddings do more harm than good too. Keep the negative prompt nice and simple.

Used a new, more guided approach to merging layer by layer as opposed to the more "blind" method I used to employ that's basically "eyeball the recipe and hope it works".
