MoonMix XL - Soft Anime Coloring Merge is a three-way checkpoint merge in the Illustrious ecosystem.

All about soft, careful coloring: smooth gradients, pale color temperature and delicate light that give every frame a quiet atmosphere. Sensitive to artist tags and very cooperative with LoRAs and layered merges - made for mood pieces and emotional illustration.

Recipe: 0.45 x Vetehine Moonlace ILL (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:

• Stable anatomy and clean, readable lineart

• - Coloring tuned for 柔和上色 results without extra tuning

• - Reliable prompt following and clean LoRA stacking

[Recommended settings] Sampler DPM++ 2M or Euler a, 28-32 steps, CFG 7, 832x1216. Danbooru-style tags work best. Use bf16 where possible - fp16 can soften output.
