<p>An extreme development of SteinIllustrious (merged back within the original model all of my Illustrious models were spawned from, ZukiCute_v3, at about 0.15, along with small injections from Augenstein to take advantage of the LORAs within those models), IlluStein emphasizes an expressive anime visual style, while stepping a bit further away from 3D styles. It's just too different at this point for me to justify bundling it under SteinIllustrious. Versatile and knowledgeable - though it does struggle a little bit with hands and eyes some of the time. As always, I recommend using ADetailer. Without guidance, it's about 50/50 on SFW/NSFW designs.</p>

IlluStein

<p>I tried working with the previous version, but the results weren't quite what I was looking for, so, I backtracked a bit to the model that spawned V1, a test model from the Augenstein branch. This is the result of about a month of teaching myself how to use Merge Block Weighted model merging, tuning this result out of several of my other model families (a bit from SteinIllustrious, a bit from Augenstein, a bit from the first version of this model) and an injection of a custom style LORA created by a friend (<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/1093016/steins-old-style">https://civitai.com/models/1093016/steins-old-style</a>). This new version, V2, is the result of MBW merging, and injection of a new LORA which is 60% my old style LORA, and 40% of Bokato's Pox LORA (<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/1420597/pox-furry-style-illust-v1">https://civitai.com/models/1420597/pox-furry-style-illust-v1</a>) to give more style and versatility. This version is, therefore, reliably better at furry art.</p>
