Daisies in flower language means "innocence and purity", while black in color theory is darkness, death, and power. With this in mind, a "black daisy" wouldn't be as simple as lost innocence, but a rebirth of ideals in the face of loss - "In darkness shall I bloom, in purity shall I bathe. An elusive beauty, dark and dangerous. Yet only a rare few can gaze." - Pandora

What is this model?

This is a Stable Diffusion 1.5 model born slightly out of hatred against "kawaii" anime models - chibi anatomy but with strong styles that can stand on its own. Initially, this was meant to be a merge that distills the essence behind those models and reverse it, but I decided to release the final results because it has surprising prompt adherence and uniqueness in it.

How to use this model?

First point: Please, try to exercise a little restraint in using this model. Due to its nature, chibis are much more likely to occur than usual.

Prompting

This model uses booru tags like all other anime models. However, this model has somewhat decent natural language recognition as well. If you have a tag autocorrect extension, use Drac's tag list for best results.

Model cutoff is ~2020, so don't expect too much from it.

Negative prompting is unnecessary, but could be used.

This model is meant mostly to be used as a 2nd pass in a workflow, but could be used separately as well.

Parameters:

• Sampler (Basic): DPM++ 2M Karras or Euler ancestral

• Sampler (Advanced): DPM++ 2M CFG++ SGM Uniform

• Step count: 20-30 (50 for CFG++)

• CFG: 7-10 (0.5-1 for CFG++)

• CLIP Skip: 1-2

• Resolution: 768 base resolution maximum, 512 base resolution recommended

• Hi.res fix: recommended - 2x @ 0.5 denoise. If possible, do this using another model.

Miscellaneous stuff

Licensing

Check below profile card, but permission is similar to OpenSolera: No selling this model, ever. Other than that, everything else is fair game.

You read that right, I made a cocktail recipe for this as a joke.
