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>
