    My first mix in illustrious category aiming to bring more details and flexibility to animated style of this type of models. Various results can be achieved - from animated to semi-realistic style depending on the prompt.

    As always my gratitude and due respect to the creators of original models that are used in the mix:

    1. https://civarchive.com/models/827184/wai-nsfw-illustrious-sdxl?modelVersionId=1490781

    2. https://civarchive.com/models/1231009/be-mix-illustrious?modelVersionId=1387129

    3. https://civarchive.com/models/959736/rillusm-realistic-il?modelVersionId=1448475

    4. https://civarchive.com/models/1412760/lunarcherrymix-illustrious?modelVersionId=1637795

    Version 6.0: Experimental formula with addition of new elements to the mix for future development.

    Version 5.0: Update with newer versions of the components.

    Version 4.0: Return to older (v2.1) formula with improvements in composition and prompt adherence.

    Version 3.0: Experimental mix with a little shift to more anime style and more vivid palette.

    Version 2.1: Improved stability, composition and faces.

    Version 2: Cranking up overall details and contrast. Colors look more vivid too. Needs further testing. Has more of its "own identity" compared to version 1.0.

    Version 1: Overall very decent prompt adherence and anatomy. Stylisticaly close to anime-semirealism. High flexibility: some combinations of LORAs give very interesting results (you can find examples in the images).

    Recommended setitings:

    Sampling method: Euler a, DPM++ 2M, DPM++ 2M SDE, DPM++ 2S a, DPM2 a, DEIS

    Schedule type: Karras, SGM Uniform

    Sampling steps: 20-50

    CFG Scale: 3-7

    Highres.fix + Adetailer for face are recommended

    Realistic anime model with detailed skin and Incredible lighting. Just add "dark, night, candlelight" and watch it blow every other model away. Good work!

    Not really sure what degree of realism you want but try tags like "realistic" of "photorealistic" to shift more into realism

    This has become my favorite checkpoint, by far, for creating images of girls. Thank you so much for your work and for sharing it!

    The only dilemma is: To say it's getting better and better would be unfair to the previous version. It's great! Thank you for your work.

    Looks good but sadly has a huge Hand issue. Hands turn out terrible in 90% of the generations.
