The result of me deciding to put on the merging wizard hat on once more, much like with my Wild Ponies models. Mostly for my own edification, with many, many failures along the way, this finally strikes the balance of increased detail and nice aesthetics - or so I hope, anyway!Base Model: Illustrious 1.0 - Supports higher resolutions!Note: Some LoRAs may need some extra strength to them, as there is some XL models in the recipe, but most work fine.Otherwise, just use with same samplers, CFG, steps as you do with your other IL models, it should work nicely. This is a first viable release; I may experiment with training and merging in LoRAs to further shift the base style to the one I originally sought to achieve but fell short of. Feedback, and advice on merging welcome! Still very much a novice looking to get better!
