Pixeljourney XL Model: Pixeljourney, isn't an all-encompassing model that excels at everything.
It struggles somewhat with accurately following prompts and tends to be somewhat inflexible.
However, it uniquely directs outputs into a stylistic direction inspired by various AI artists and the Midjourney style.
Capabilities of Pixeljourney:
Excels at: Semi-realistic motifs, portraits, aliens, creatures, cyborgs, artistic themes, weird fashion, fusions between humans & different creatures, creative motifs.
Adequate at: Photorealism.
Struggles with: Anime, low-resolution monochrome sketches.
Technical Aspects:
Sampler for Examples: I used dpmpp_3m_sde/karras and a (cfg) range of 5-7.
How to Use Pixeljourney:
Start with SDXL resolution Sampler at 30+ steps.
Apply HiRes-Fix or NNLatentUpscale.
Proceed with UpscaleSampler for 20 steps and Denoise around 0.04.
Optionally, use SDXL Refiner for around 8 steps with Denoise at 0.2.
Optionally, apply a Face Detailer for enhanced facial details (not needed for Portrait shots).
Dataset Composition:
The dataset includes 1500 images from the LinkedIn AI/CC Community, mainly created using Midjourney.
Additionally, 500 high-resolution photos were added to enhance details like eyes and skin.
Training Details:
The model was trained with 38,000 steps and a batch size of 4 using a 48GB RTX 6000 Ada for approximately 25 hours.
NSFW:
Pixeljourney is an uncensored model, capable of creating NSFW content.
However, it has not been specifically trained for such content and don't preform verry well at it.
