🟡Flawed CoMix🟡

A checkpoint based on the NoobEQ finetune by Anzhc, merged with a combination of GloRAs I trained with the intent of getting a "western comicbook" look. It didn't turn out as I expected but can still generate really good images, it's just probably the least beginner-friendly distant offspring of SDXL. If you're looking for a checkpoint and have virtually no experience or just copy prompts from different websites, this checkpoint is not for you, you might have better chances with my SliMix

🟡VAE:

This checkpoint uses the "MS-LC-EQ-D-VR VAE B3" from Anzhc's repository and WILL produce blurry messes without it, download it here I did not test the other BX VAEs. I believe anything from B4 to B7 should still work at least decently with it.

🟡Basic use:

put masterpiece, best quality at the start of your prompt.
put worst quality, low quality, lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, jpeg artifacts, border, watermark in negative, add more negative as needed.

🟡Advanced use:

You can add any of the following to your prompt.

painterly.
lineart, ligne claire.
high contrast to reinforce the contrast between dark values and light values.
<color> theme to give the image a distinct color theme.
color theme 1, color theme 2, color contrast to create an image with two contrasty color themes (might require weight tinkering because some are stronger than others).

You can always look at the preview images to get ideas of what is possible and in fact I feel like this model can output a much wider style of images.

🟡Recommended settings:

832x1216 resolution (for characters) or 1216x832 resolution (for landscapes). From testing it's possible to gen good-looking images on resolutions like 1024x1520 but anatomy will have a higher tendency to break
Euler A sampler with Align Your Steps scheduler.
24 Steps with a CFG of 6.
0.2-0.3 strength with 8 steps on either a fairly sharp upscaler or a softer one, depending on what you want.

🟡Others:

The Forge Couple extension assuming your version of Forge or reForge supports it
It has a tendency to gen really "textured" backgrounds, putting halftone in negative can help with that.
Anzhc's FaceV2 adetailer at 0.3 denoising strength and 1024x1024 resolution
