I've been working with model bending. Trying to see what I can get out of them. I said to myself
"Why Not?", which got me thinking...

WAI Not? πŸ€”


I took the ever popular wai-illustrious-sdxl and with a DARE merger back onto the base model, fine tune, and block adjustment, I wound up with this:

WAI_Not?

WAI_not focuses on clarity and details as well as structure. I tweaked the lower out blocks as well as fine tuned the mids, then used an Arthemy model tuner to get the rest.

The Model, Clip, & VAE are all modifed from the base model, so use it as a whole in a checkpoint if possible.

Settings:

  • Dies/Beta

  • cfg around 5

  • 40 steps

  • I've noticed that quality modifiers make a drastic impact on WAI in general. Use professional, masterpiece, absurdres, 8k

  • Certain LoRAs or settings make the skin shiny. Negative prompting it takes care of it


Please give me feedback. This is only my second checkpoint, so let me know what I can adjust , what is good, or what doesn't work.

Thanks,

Lonecat
