Garbage-bin concepts LoRA recommended for any intense silliness.

Example images hosted on Civitai were generated in InvokeAI's Nodes using latent upscaling from close to ~512x resolution up a few hundred pixels each side at 0.55-0.65 strength w/ DDIM. This was followed up with an ESRGAN model upscale, then converting the image to latents and using ControlNet Tile in a latent to latent stage at 0.2-0.4 strength w/ DDIM.
