It depends on the style description in the prompt, but overall it is good!

He does excellent work, you need to enter precise hints, he understands perfectly well what you want, as they say, what kind of input, such is the answer! I DISAGREE WITH the previous comments that he's not good enough! EXCELLENT, AMAZING, thanks to the creators and those who trained this model!

nowhere near as good now, hardly use it anymore

honestly, hit or miss.. and mostly miss. and when it misses, it misses HARRRRRD

One of my favorite models to use! I make a big batch of images in v8 until it says I'm creating too fast, delete the ones I don't want, then evolve the best ones to this model to make images of my characters I never would've been able to make without AI. It doesn't follow my prompts quite like v8 does but that's fine because evolving from model to model is a thing. For costing only half a credit, it's absolutely awesome! ๐Ÿ’–

currently it is not the same model as before, there is only the same name, at the very end of 2024 they changed, broke this model, from the same prompts, it creates completely different images than before

I used this model a short time ago today. I think itโ€™s a little tired. Unfortunately, the young woman in my image has three legs! Itโ€™s all good. ๐Ÿ˜‰
