Kinda Mix

Version 1.5:Regretfully, I didn't get proper permissions to some of the resources used in Version 1.0. The original creators were very gracious about it, but I have decided to take the model off the site and uploaded this alternative version instead. Changed the merge to use Illustrij - v17 by @reijlita instead of EVO.  Added dmd2-lighting8step_cfg1.5 by @871587665 to speed up the generation on my slow system.  Overall, there should be a noticeable improvement in textures, composition, and speed.New Settings:Steps: 8CFG: 1.5Sampler: Euler aScheduler: exponentialVersion 1.0:A merge that is meant to generate semirealistic images with nice aesthetic and composition. Example images did not use Hi-res fix, refiner, or Adetailer because my machine is a potato. Feel free to provide feedback on the look of the model. Do people prefer more realistic or more stylistic outputs?Resources used:CLIP: NO MERGE - Universal CLIP by @Felldude - This should improve natural language, but tags are still preferred.Models in the mix:Plant Milk Walnut by @Ocean3: Everybody loves this style, including meIllustrij EVO by @reijlita: Nice character aestheticsHyphoria [Illu & NAI] by @ecaj: Reinforce character knowledge and help with prompt adherenceJAVn - Real Merge - Envy IL by @WeBeJavn: Realistic Illustrious models usually have a certain default face shape. This is one of the models where that default shape is less prevalent.Settings:Steps: 25CFG: 4Sampler: Euler aScheduler: exponentialI am no expert so feel free to share better settings for generation. I also use Lazy Embeddings by @janxd. Add photo-realistic, realistic shading, realistic texture to the prompt if you want more realistic output.What to improve:Eyes and fingers can be messy sometimes.Character knowledge is inconsistent.
