Starting with 'Tuna v3 as a base, I used Merged Block Weighting and an incredible amount of trial and error, so my apologies to the settings nerds out there but I couldn't explain exactly how I did this if I tried. I used the SuperMerger extension for A1111 and I do recommend it for learning how MBW works without eating up a ton of storage space.
Shout-out to the creators of UmiAI and their team's model mixer for the coaching and data support (already linked in previous notes). All models used in the mix have already been linked and some updated versions have been included, or are private models used with explicit permission.
So, what changes? Compositions are both a bit more wild, and also more responsive to prompting in general. I recommend a mix of short phrases and short keyword lists. Don't go too overboard, especially with negative terms. Hands are a little improved. Eyes and facial details are a bit more styled and less anime-face. Clothing and similar internal sections, shadows and lighting especially, are more detailed. It's working vocabulary has been significantly expanded.
My bias goals have been firmly achieved with minimal loss to it's stylizing flexibility. Left on it's own (meaning without specific prompting), it will default to light-skinned women, some nudity, and a stronger blend of outlining that takes on the best of both 'west and east' anime and cartoons.
