And this is how I landed on Kageillustrious.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 <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2277470?modelVersionId=2601231">Ruby XL</a>

This version is a merge of the following checkpoints:<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/827184?modelVersionId=1612720">WAI NSFW Illustrious 13</a><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/1103737">Manmaru Solid Mix Noob</a><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/946076?modelVersionId=1059243">CuteNoobAI</a>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
