My first attempt at an Illustrious model merge, models merged at varying weights over multiple merge passes. I have gotten some good results with this merged checkpoint and wanted to share with the community.
Thank you to everyone who has worked on the models listed below for your hard work.

WAI-Mature-illustrious: https://civitai.com/models/1359594/wai-mature-illustrious
This model seems to add a bit more detail to backgrounds that wasn't present in the two prior versions. I've had best results using the following sampler dpmpp_3m_SDE with scheduler Beta or Karras lower CFG between 3.5 to 5.5 generate best results. RescaleCFG set to 0.08
