Helios Mix is my attempt at smashing some models together to hopefully create something interesting.

Been working on this for a few months but still needs some work so I appreciate all feedback.

Improve prompt understanding
More realism
Implement more of my own training
Models included in this merge are:
For the example images, I only use three negative embeds, which are:
