Do you need a model for character illustration but are you frustrated that most models always default to anime characters? Do you seek a slight touch of realism but not too much? Do you want a model that can handle women and men alike? A model that is not NSFW-focused per sé but doesn't result in Barbie/Ken-like mutilations when you're in need of more skin?
After almost a year of experimenting with PDXL merges, I started experimenting with Illustrious. And now, low and behold:
AWESOME ILLUSTRIOUS
(a Stable Diffusion Illustrious model for quality character illustration enthusiasts)

Beautiful high quality illustrated characters

A hand-picked blend of merged checkpoints and LORAs
Both SFW and NSFW supported
