ItN's Pleasant Merge

I am admittedly kind of a noob at this, but if you enjoy my humble work, any donations are greatly appreciated: https://ko-fi.com/insult_to_ninjary

Your generosity helps me stay motivated to keep improving and to keep trying new things!

At a Glance:

Style: Anime

Works with LoRAs?: It should (though maybe not perfectly with everything...)

VAE: vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned is baked (but you can override if desired)

Clip skip: 1 or 2 (experiment with both!)

Hires. fix: use non-default upscaler; denoising strength 0.5 - 0.4

Description:

This is more of a general-purpose anime checkpoint that leans slightly cute, but not too overboard in that direction (unless you direct it there). The name comes from the fact that I was pleasantly surprised at how good some of my test images came out (but also mainly from running out of adjectives to describe all the merges I made, haha).

I haven't tested it with tons of LoRAs, but it handled the ones I did try pretty well, so I think it should be pretty safe to use, and since it's a neutral-ish checkpoint, it should serve as a decent base for LoRA use.

The only drawback, as with most SD1.5 models, is anatomy and fine details. While this is not the worst checkpoint I've used in those regards, it's also not the best. Most of you probably know all the usual workarounds to deal with this by now, so use them well, but if you don't, then check the troubleshooting section below.

Troubleshooting:

As mentioned above, you may need to deal with some messy details and anatomy problems at times - hands, fingers, general jank, etc. If you're running into problems, just try your best with all the usual fixes - different prompting, use a different VAE, try different clip skip values, use adetailer, inpaint, etc.

Outro:

If you make anything awesome, please consider posting them to the gallery! That goes for all of my models! I really like seeing what kind of stuff you all are able to make!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I will try my best to help! Also, if you have any ideas for future models, please don't hesitate to share them with me!
