3. Easy to prompt: Stylization of simple prompts can be achieved with as little as one special token (trigger) appended to the end of your prompt.

Usage

Note: More artists have been addded in V2 and the special token is no longer strictly required. Model card will be updated to reflect these changes.

<b>Special Tokens</b>:

• BAStyle, a general prefix that is not strictly required but can help maintain the models style.
  • Place at beginning of your prompt.

<b>Artist Tags</b>: Appending these tags to the end of your prompt will guide the model to generate an output in the style of the artist that's being tagged.

<i>Future updates are already in the works to bring SDXL up to — and beyond SD1.5 standards. If you want to contribute, DM me at the discord thread linked above. My goal is to create fine-tunes on unique styles or concepts SDXL struggles with, expanding the pool of models for merging.</i>
