I've been trying to transition from SD1.5 to SDXL for a while, but old prompting habits die hard.
Even more difficult was finding a model to produce the look I prefer. Most seem to love realism, 3D pixar style, anime, and super airbrushed.
If you have any tips for SDXL models, loras, prompting for this style, etc. please let me know!
parameters:
1girl, demon woman with bangs and ram horns and wings, holding bloody human heart, solo, sitting with knees up, (full body:0.6), looking at viewer, (dark fantasy theme:1.1) (glowing eyes:1.05), thick lines, flat shading
Negative prompt: low quality, deformed, embedding:negativeXL_D, embedding:unaestheticXL_Sky3.1,
Steps: 10, Sampler: dpmpp_3m_sde_simple, CFG scale: 1.0, Seed: 212036223314935, Size: 1024x1024, Model hash: 268a170aa6, Model: grogmixTURBO_v10
(and some inpainting/upscaling)
I don't know if it's what you want, but: using the same prompt terms, and grabbing my favorite in a batch of 20:
I'm guessing that, relative to that, you're looking for something that looks more like a painting?
Looking at civitai, grogmixTURBO, which you're using, seems to typically produce more anime-looking images than you're generating.
That's actually a good example of the overly airbrushed look I was trying to describe. So many models have output like that.
As for GrogMixTURBO, I found the keywords "thick lines, flat shading" from one of the creator's replies to a comment on the model page, and these magically gave me what I wanted with that model.
Have you tried finding an artist who has similar work and trying "by "?
I did that with RealCartoon-XL, and soooometimes it gave good results for the style, but inconsistent. I guess I just got too used to SD1.5 models specializing in a certain aesthetic.
Gotcha. Hmm.
Have you tried browsing images under XL models on civitai for anything that is similar to the aesthetic you like, and then swiping their prompt terms?
If you're gonna use the base model, you can try Clip Interrogator on your image to find terms that will generate similar images, but that didn't do much for me. I don't think the base model is trained much on succubi.
Definitely! That's how I was able to find the ones I listed in another comment. Without this, I'd be doomed 😆
