A merge of multiples checkpoints to attain a style that appeals to me, and hopefully you too~
The goal of this merge was to achieve the versatility of the more popular models while adding a sprinkle of cuteness, rendering the characters a little more youthful or anime-like
To use the model on-site, you need to Bid on it with your Yellow Buzz and it needs to reach the top 200 of the week to be usable for a week.
You can do different body types, and call on multiple pre-integrated characters and artists styles without the need of any Loras
since 2.0.1, Blue XL is a merge of the latest WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL, YiH and KageQuantum as it's main baseline.

I wouldn't say it's perfect yet, Kageillustrious is a merge to begin with after all. But, the results are a bit smoother and it should help lower the bias towards women as well. You can still achieve a good anime aestetic by using "anime coloring" in your prompt.
Since 2.0.1, the model is a lot more vibrant thanks to it's new baked-in VAE, and with YiH in it's mix, it should be a lot better at NSFW posing! Blue XL also kinda became the more artsy-smoother brother of Ruby XL.
If you want to make more toony stuff, try Ruby XL
Description
This version is a merge of the following checkpoints:
Homosimile 5.0 @0.55
Manmaru Solid Mix Noob @0.25
WAI Shuffle Noob E-pred 2.0 @0.2
IndigoDreamXL IllustriousEPS v3 @0.25
Updated Homosimile to 5.0 and added IndigoDreamXL! Because of the latter, the model may have a certain bias towards furries. You can add (human:1.8) to your prompt if your gen is trying to make furries and you don't want that.
The VAE is baked in!

I like the style/aesthetic of this model a lot, maybe even more than just homoSimile by itself. I haven't had any issue with a bias toward furry characters. But, it does seem to be pretty weak with facial expressions, even at higher attention weights and with aDetailer.
maybe consider using style loras? that's what I do personally, I don't use the checkpoint on it's own 😅
I'm glad to ear you like my merge tho :3

Well I already like your merge's style/aesthetic on its own. I use style loras sometimes on other checkpoints but never specifically for facial expressions. And the NAI versions of expressiveH available right now are kind of shit so i don't even bother with those. But i'll try your tip, thanks
