Hey /vtai/ I know I said I would take a rest from experimenting, but I couldn't help myself, I did what is really my last experiment for now.
The model gets grumpy when he is mostly the center of attention in the mixes, but still behaves mostly fine, just needs more attention from your own denoising and other elements of your ksampler or samplers in general.
The interesting part is when the the model is mixed in a minor scale, the models stabilized pretty well still has most of his characteristics present, still can't mix with nothing that is pony base or have a fusion with this but becomes very docile, but here is the catch, when the ones that you had to fine tune with weights and other elements, it breaks completely or delivers subpart results as you can see next:

Sadly so far I have unsuccessful mixes with anything pony based, even some XL models refuse to work with it, for now is not worth mixing with anything that is not traditional XL.
>I've always used a style LoRA to stabilize a base look and Kakure would be a good choice.I'm of the same mentality and sometimes the models know the artist, but they have a very old style of that artist or is unstable, that's why I always go for the lora styles, there is most of the time consistency.
>>86263713Knows the artist but if you see the graph you can appreciate that key elements are lost without the lora specially the style of the face that for me is the most iconic part of his style besides the coloring.
Here is an album for those curious enough, or that just want to check for themselves my process.
