A merge of multiples checkpoints to attain a style that appeals to me, and hopefully you too~

The goal of this merge was to achieve the versatility of the more popular models while adding a sprinkle of cuteness, rendering the characters a little more youthful or anime-like
To use the model on-site, you need to Bid on it with your Yellow Buzz and it needs to reach the top 200 of the week to be usable for a week.

You can do different body types, and call on multiple pre-integrated characters and artists styles without the need of any Loras

since 2.0.1, Blue XL is a merge of the latest WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL, YiH and KageQuantum as it's main baseline.

I figured it was the time to move-on from Manmaru since it wasn't being updated anymore. And this is how I landed on Kageillustrious.

I wouldn't say it's perfect yet, Kageillustrious is a merge to begin with after all. But, the results are a bit smoother and it should help lower the bias towards women as well. You can still achieve a good anime aestetic by using "anime coloring" in your prompt.

Since 2.0.1, the model is a lot more vibrant thanks to it's new baked-in VAE, and with YiH in it's mix, it should be a lot better at NSFW posing! Blue XL also kinda became the more artsy-smoother brother of Ruby XL.
