TrattoMix XL is a three-way checkpoint merge that pushes a bold western-comic ink look onto the Illustrious anime base: strong black outlines, cross-hatching and halftone shading, high contrast and flat limited palettes - while keeping the stable anatomy and prompt following of the Illustrious ecosystem.

Recipe: 0.45 x Tratto-Nero (Illustrious) + 0.30 x WAI-illustrious-SDXL (v17) + 0.25 x Illustrious-XL-v1.0, applied to the UNet only (VAE and text encoder inherited from the first model).

What you get:

• Bold ink contours, hatching and halftone shading from Tratto-Nero

• - Stable composition and strong prompt adherence from WAI-illustrious

• - A balanced, broadly compatible anime base from Illustrious-XL v1.0

Great for comic and graphic-novel pages, posters, bold character art and print-style illustration. Add 'comic style, bold outlines, inking, high contrast, flat colors' for the strongest effect. Best CFG around 5-7.

[Recommended settings] Sampler DPM++ 2M or Euler a, 25-32 steps, CFG 5-7, 832x1216. Danbooru-style tags work best. Use bf16 where possible - fp16 can soften output.
