Welcome!
I've been away for a bit, but decided to mess around with Illustrious with some free time I've had recently. If you haven't used my merges before, my focus has been creating models that I really like the style of "out of the box", without needing to tweak the visuals with tons of LoRA or TIs. This model creates 2.5D/Semi-Realistic images with a relatively soft look to them. I'm pretty happy with the images I've created with it, so I wanted to share it with you all. If you enjoy it, feel free to leave a note or post a gallery!
