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.

Special Tokens:

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

Artist Tags: 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.

Random Style Generation (RSG) Token: The following token (trigger) is a made-up artist that generates an image in the style of a random artist. It's not perfect but can yield interesting results.

Limitations

BAM! inherits some (not all) of the limitations from the original SDXL v1.0 model.
BIAS: This model is bias towards paintings, drawings, and illustrations from the 1970s - 1980s.

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.
