03/07/26: v5! 馃惎 Because why not - I need a break from the insanity of reality. Any early access purchases will go towards keeping the model on site generation.
Enjoy!
Celebrating my 200th model posted to Civitai by going back to the first model roots with a realism/semi-realism furry focused Illustrious checkpoint merge from a family friendly name you can trust for your furry/scaly/feathery needs.

Works best in combination with KFT Furropean Extreme (Illustrious) at low weights (0.2 - 0.6).
That way you get the full KFT FE虏 experience!
Gallery images show examples using Checkpoint + LORA as I feel the combination of the two is where the sweet style spot is (strengths of 0.1-0.3).
Recommended settings:
Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras / DPM++ 3M Karras (GPU seeded) / DEIS
SGM Uniform / Karras
(Euler A gives much worse fur quality with most tested checkpoints)

Hi res fix recommended!
As mentioned before, recommend using this checkpoint in combination with KFT Furropean Extreme (at low weights: 0.2 - 0.5)

Even with corpo models coming out I will still always use this because it is still the best model for inpainting, even for non furry stuff.
Definitely my favorite iteration of this checkpoint yet, though I think I rarely use it as the primary checkpoint in my generations. It has difficultly imo, generating furry faces that are anthromorphized, so I tend to generate the image I want, and civit's Hi-res fix feature and swap out the checkpoint to this one. This version re-textures very well, and adds alot of depth and realism most illus models can't.
Awesome checkpoint for realistic anthro! Probably my favourite.
Surprised I missed this; this is pretty rad
Better late than never!
