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

You can do different body types, and call on multiple pre-integrated characters and artists styles without the need of any Loras

13.2.1 (NAI)

This version is a merge of the following checkpoints:

Indigo Furry Mix XL EPS7 @0.5

Manmaru Solid Mix Noob @0.15

WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL v15 @0.35

So, WAI illustrious updated with an updated dataset which I wanted to add to my model. And after some trial and error, I ended up with this mix that I actually love! It's not as vibrant as the previous version, but I thinks its still just as good, if not better, actually.

Tips: although it may not be necessary depending on your usage, you can reliably make humans by using the (human:1.8) prompt and specifying the hair shape and color as well as the skin tone. If you tend to get helmets or blob creatures, those are due to your style loras, not the checkpoint.

As always, the VAE is baked in!

13.0.3 (NAI)

This version is a much simpler merge of the following checkpoints:

Indigo Furry Mix XL EPS7 @0.75

Manmaru Solid Mix Noob @0.25

Much simpler, but a noticeable difference in performance. I kinda realized that the cute stuff came from Manmaru, so I probably just needed that and the better main model, which turns out to be Indigo Furry Mix!

Velvet XL is now more vibrant, more stable and listen to you more while also keeping that cute aestetic that it's previous versions were known for!

10.1.1 (NAI)

This version is a merge of the following checkpoints:

Homosimile 4.0 @0.75

Manmaru Solid Mix Noob @0.15

WAI Shuffle Noob E-pred 2.0 @0.1

It's basically the same as 10.0.4, but I've updated Homosimile to 4.0 and has baked-in VAE!!

10.0.4 (NAI)

This version is a merge of the following checkpoints:

Homosimile 3.0 @0.75

Manmaru Solid Mix Noob @0.15

WAI Shuffle Noob E-pred 2.0 @0.1

In this version, Homosimile is the stronger checkpoint. This makes it easier to generate handsome male characters.

10.0.2 (NAI)

This version is a merge of the following checkpoints:

WAI Shuffle Noob E-pred 2.0

Homosimile 3.0

Manmaru Solid Mix Noob

In this version, WAI and Manmaru have a much stronger impact, making it easier to generate characters with a more youthful aesthetic. But it also means that it keeps it biases towards girls and women.

9.5.2 (IL)

This version is a merge of the following checkpoints:

WAI NSFW Illustrious 13

Manmaru Solid Mix Noob

CuteNoobAI

In this version, the focus was really into bringing the youthful aesthetic into male characters. However, due to the use models, it still has a strong bias towards girls and child-like characters. Make sure you use the proper negatives to avoid generating the latter.

I personally recommend you use v10 and up over this one for better compatibility. However if for some reason you want to stick with IL, feel free to try out this one
