ether Blue Mix 6

https://civitai.com/models/17427?modelVersionId=256504

🔹☁️ Hello, this is Ether Blu Mix ☁️🔹 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! ✨

• 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.

I also baked the vae since I kept seeing outputs with the wrong vae applied.

Hopefully I was able to create a happy middle ground between the appeal of both EBM 4 and EBM 5.

Thanks everyone, busy at the moment and will update everything soon.

Happy holidays! 🎉

• Huggingface Archive ☄️ Generation Recommendations Use whatever sampler, steps, CFG you prefer.

Sample images were generated with

Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras

Steps: 20 - 28

CFG: 7 - 11

Clip Skip: 1

ENSD: 31337

Increasing CFG can lead to more vibrant results.

Negative Prompt Example:

"NSFW, (worst quality, low quality:1.3)"

Recommended VAE: Waifu Diffusion VAE kl-f8-anime2

Strongly recommended as the model was tuned with this VAE's color and saturation in mind.

Sample images were further upscaled using AUTO1111 Hi-res fix. Please utilize it if you wish to achieve similar results.

Latent (nearest-exact)

Upscale by: 2

Denoising strength: 0.55

Denoising strength: 0.45 - 0.55

🖊️ Prompting Advice As Ether Blu 5 leans heavier into the anime aesthetic I recommend using the suggested positive and negative prompts of AOM3.

masterpiece, best quality,

NSFW, (worst quality, low quality:1.3)

The model was mixed and tested using these prefixes and will give you the most consistent style results. Of course you're free to prompt however you'd like as booru-style models tend to be quite flexible in prompting.

If you look at the prompts included with the sample images they demonstrate that even with a very loose and vague style of prompting you can achieve fun, high quality images.

Experiment and give the AI some freedom to interpret your ideas!

General guidelines:

Prompt in the style of anime/booru-style models, "masterpiece, best quality, ..... "

More anime style images

Prompt in the style of photography/non-anime models, "professional photograph of ..... "

More realistic images, higher style variety

📘 Model Merging Info - v5 I have no training or real knowledge of machine learning. I merged the model using the information provided on WarriorMama777's AOM model page. I very arbitrarily used the UBM weights given to merge and create AOM3 and its derivatives and modified the values with trial and error until I was visually happy with it.

I utilized the SuperMerger extension for AUTO1111 by hako-mikan.
