This new merge also operates differently for androids. At least with the same prompt as before, seems to go for simpler designs.
>>87623593A merge of various Illustrious finetunes, plus a few LoRas.
Pro-tip: Some Style LoRas for Pony (I think it depends on how they were trained) work on Illustrious. They're weak, some to the point you only start seeing they effect at strengths of 2, 3 or even higher, but some work well enough at reasonable strengths to steer the gen.
>You are good at keeping that nice style you have in your merges.I try. I think the LoRas are responsible for most of the look, so I can just move them from merge to merge and as long as it isn't too different, they'll steer the model in a similar direction.
The model's job is being good at anatomy and eventually backgrounds. And retaining good knowledge and prompt adherence.
I'm eagerly waiting/hoping for the couple artists I'm using Pony LoRas of to get Illustrious updated ones.
