All of my preview images are txt2img, no hires fix, no face restore, no loras, no embeddings. I wanted you to see how this model generates.
Edit: All v6 Previews are made with Lightning... I am finding the results better and faster than not using lightning, however still does great without it... Also a few did use the add detail lora.
Face Restore (Codeformer) generally works well with this model, if needed/desired.
Loras generally work well.
My usual settings are Steps: 30, Sampler: DPM++ 3M SDE Karras, CFG scale: 3-7
Works great with long and short prompts, lower CFG recommended on long prompts.
LIGHTNING WORKS GREAT WITH THIS MODEL!
I use this lora: https://civarchive.com/models/324115/sdxl-lightning-8step
With EULER A, CFG 2, 16-20 Steps (Yes it is an 8 step lightning, but the higher step count reduces artifacts. Going over 20 seems to induce more artifacts, generally 16-20 seems to be the sweet spot for my models). I will include some generations using lightning to the gallery below.
Introducing Silverstar XL!
This is an SDXL model that I merged for my own aesthetic goals, primarily around the creation of young adult men. I found many models to either make them too attractive/girly, or too burly/strong without getting crazy on the prompt or negatives.
Along the way I wanted to make sure I had creative options, capable of both photorealistic and artistic styles, and many different themes and subjects.
Originally intended for personal use, I have been asked to share this, so here we are.
As for NSFW, this model is not intended for NSFW. It may be possible to create, but the result may be not great. May in the future create a version for that.

Your aesthetics are my kind of aesthetics, too. Thank you for sharing. I will definitely be trying this one.
I'd love to see a similar model for SD1.5, if you're interested in making one. There's not really any others that quite fit this style. Like you said, they're either too burly and (hyper-)masculine, or they're strong on androgyny. (Don't get me wrong though. I absolutely love androgynous boys. But I also very much like these kinds of guys who are very attractive but not exactly "cute".)
I know there are others who share similar aesthetics who would be very grateful to see a similar SD1.5 model as well. We're not very vocal on CivitAI, but we are here and we are hoping for a day when such a model is posted.
Thanks again for sharing!
i havent tried this model yet but i see that it says it is a male focused model in description so if its not too late id recommend using the tag #gay since itll probably reach more people who are looking for this type of model
thanks for the tip!
