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.

Illustrious Dark Fantasy

Thank you for all the positive reviews and downloads this encourages me to continue to iterate on my merge work. hope you enjoy the second version. this version has had several more merge passes with the following models mixed in with the previous models they all seem to blend well while helping make the image output clearer and more detailed even with a hiresfix pass in some cases. (The showcase picture with the 2 women and 1 guy had no hiresfix or upscaling it was straight out of ksampler)
