Ember Feral XL is a Illustrious merge model built specifically for semi-cartoon furry and anthro character generation. It fuses the strengths of two carefully selected base models to deliver a unique visual signature — warm, expressive lines with enough realism to give fur, eyes, and anatomy genuine weight, without tipping into full photorealism.What it does wellSemi-cartoon styleSits naturally between cartoon and realistic — clean outlines, expressive faces, stylised proportions while keeping believable anatomy and texture detail.Furry &amp; anthro charactersOptimised for bipedal anthro characters, feral poses, and creature-adjacent designs. Handles a wide variety of species without heavy per-species prompting.Warm, fiery lightingThe merge leans naturally toward ember tones — amber, orange, deep reds. Dramatic rim lighting and glowing-eye effects come through with minimal prompting.Base architectureSDXL 1.0VersionV1 (merged)Optimal resolution1024 × 1024Recommended steps25 – 35Negative prompt recommend<ul><li>(wrong feet),missing tail,hair,bad legs,3 nipple,3 breast,plump, Drawings, abstract art, cartoons, surrealist painting, conceptual drawing, graphics, (low resolution:1.3), (blurry:1.3), (worst quality:1.3), (low quality:1.3), collage, bad proportions, text, username, (watermark:1.3), letter, (abs), bad anatomy, bad hands, text, error, by diabloking03, missing fingers, extra digit, fewer digits, cropped, Six fingers, Low quality fingers, (EasyNegative), badhandv4, verybadimagenegative_v1.3, bad-hands-5, feral, 4 feet</li></ul>
