Disclaimer: Heavily subject-tuned merge made from even more heavily subject-tuned models, and specializes in artwork depicting fantasy or sci-fi creature designs, especially anthropomorphic ones. While you may be able to diverge from this frame of reference, your results will likely not be as good as those to which the merge is attuned. Please make sure you download the .yaml config file and place it in your models folder, as this is required for the model do its thing.

The future of my previous projects was looking bleak, as each new version I tried to work on became more and more washed out. But no longer! I present the solution, and it's different enough that I'm marking it as a brand new merge series. Gone are those wild 28-30 CFG requirements, and in fact, this one's good at making images without artistic references, though it still greatly benefits from them.

My general recommendations remain the same; I highly recommend getting the ADetailer addon, as well as using Hires.fix to bring out better details, especially in characters' faces. Very versatile in my tests within its chief parameters (which are, bluntly, furry character designs), with less satisfying results when using more generic anime- or photorealism-style prompts, and I don't recommend this merge for generalized use. Can produce SFW and ???? art, but may lean more heavily toward the latter without proper prompt guidance.
