[Microprose (ohartenstein23 and Bulletdesigner Et Al)] OpenXcom 40k Mod Codex Art Style Illustrious

The model I think is fairly self explanatory.

-Relevant information to model section-

Seems to work good with DPM++2M without using hires fix, seems with the upscalers I use it either smooths too much or makes the image blurry, but with DPM++2M karras it generates relatively accurate images using the illustrious 2.0 base model, I accidentally also generated a bunch with novafurry, but I'll include them as well to showcase how it turns out on finetuned models.

Overly verbose blogging section, you can ignore beyond this. I have a habit of typing a lot and sharing what I think or feel:

So this one was sort of a playful one for me as far as inspiration goes if you check the other x-com model from today about how I got interested in classic x-com again. In for a penny, in for a pound, I'm not entirely sure of the who the potential whole party of artists that should be credited with this, or if the art they used was altered images of official or fan-art of 40k because one photo I have seen a close resemblance with art of a YouTube videos image that's on the video while the music plays of I think 'Dirge Of Slaanesh', It looks a lot like this videos image, so I thought I'd credit the YouTube video since it's one of the sources that inferred to me it might be fanart, and I also like the song and want to share it regardless. -Seems the video lists the image as by Wayne England.-

If 40k was real, I'd totally have gotten corrupted by slaanesh by now, I always do things in excess, it's been one hell of a wild year with how I spent most of it a silly alcoholic for most of the year, but I'm mostly off that now. Apologies for all the embarrassing moments I've had over the year, when I'd be drunk and say or do something dumb or silly, I'm usually fairly goofy, but alcohol completely makes me nutterbutters. it's been a wild one. But I suppose I've gotten over it all for the most part. Maybe the dark eldar wouldn't have fallen to complete madness if they just sat down and looked at how they act and behave and at least tried to not be a fool for a moment. I guess spilling my guts out to 'shi' that at the time I was basically always drunk every day and it makes me emotionally unstable and irrational and lash out due to my thin skin, so in the end that whole interaction turned out for the better for myself reflecting on it. I owe you one.

Back to my devilish tricks.

Works well at a strength of 1

Previews made with Nova FurryV120 and Illustrious 2.0's base model, suggested sampler DPM++2M with the Illustrious 2.0 base model if accuracy to style is desired.
