# SaturdayMorning Cartoon Merge Mix by Lotte

I sought to create a model that would do more than just anime as a cartoon style. There are a number of models on HF and CivitAI that individually do other types of animation/drawing styles, but there aren't really any that bring them together. I spent a couple weeks putting it all together.

# Methodology 

I observed early on that when you merge multiple models together, models deeper in the merge chain provide a kind of deep knowledge of concepts while the most recent merges provide more of a transfer of style. With that in mind, I sought out to merge in some single-item-focused models that could add conceptual flair later on. Thus, the first merges in were architecture (background), space (for backgrounds, patterns, glow, and color), jewelry (for more detailed and cohesive jewelry and accessories), and fashion (for more detailed fabrics, patterns, and fashion creativity). I merged these into the Noise Offset weights in the hopes that the final result would be offset.

After that, I started layering in a series of models that did cartoon-like styles that I liked individually. Each was done, all along the way, as an 'Add Difference'. Then, at the very end, I took the model with Noise Offset and everything else and did another 'Add Difference' merge. In a couple parts I went back and put in very small amounts (around 0.10) of the 'deep learning' models I used above. It took many hours of testing, merging, remerging, and starting all over again, but it's finally doing more than what I'd intended.

Please enjoy! Make beautiful things.

# Tips

* Images can often be made directly up to 1024x768, though using high res fix settings makes better images.
* I recommend doing a high res fix at 0.65 - 0.75 strength.
* Using high res fix also helps determine scale, particularly on landscape images. The higher the resolution, the great the scale. So, if your portraits keep coming out as full body shots or vice versus, change you your orientation or starting or finishing sizes.
* My workflow is to do an initial set of 4 at 1024x768, choose one I like, then size it up through Img2Img to 1280x960, then from there I upscale.
* No idea how well this workd with artist names, I don't personally use them, but as they're part of stock 1.5, they should work.
* No idea if it produces NSFW material... probably, since at least two of the sixteen models used to make this mix do so as does stock SD1.5, but I'm not sure. I run with 'nsfw, nudity, busty' in my negative prompt to filter it out. You can remove nudity safely to get sexy. Move it around and/or weight it differently to experience different levels of dress. I put mine about midway through for 'sexy, but not pervy'.
* Edit your negative prompt. Heavy emphasis on terms like 'ugly', 'bad art', and 'poorly drawn' will lead to plasticky fake looking bad images and people. My negatives below.
