Over the weekend I was browsing Civitai and stumbled on this model called Alphgreed. The author said it’s a fine-tune based on z image base, just messing around with figures for fun, but when I actually tried it, the results were surprisingly solid. I ran a batch with my usual fanart prompts, and the style was pretty consistent, with way fewer detail fails than I expected.
The author’s page is super straightforward too—just says it’s for creative and artistic use, and they straight-up put a disclaimer that you’re responsible for whatever you generate. I’ve got a soft spot for models like this that turn out great from “just playing around”—they often have more personality than ones stacked with a ton of parameters.
No fancy intro, just go try it yourself if you’re interested. Still figuring out the sampler and steps, but the first few gens are already usable.
