I’m still not a pro — just someone who enjoys tinkering with model merging 😎.
After my previous release (WNHX Illustrious), I kept experimenting, merging more checkpoints, and fine-tuning the balance until this new version finally came together.

This one’s called Shinx Illustrious ⚡ — inspired by that same spark of curiosity (and a bit of chaos) that keeps me merging stuff at 2 AM.

🔹 What’s new this time?

• Built from more diverse models → better anatomy, structure, and stability across styles.

• Stronger masculine bias 👤💪 → great for male or gender-neutral characters, especially portraits.

• Warmer color tones ☀️ — gives a more natural and grounded vibe overall.

• Still flexible enough to adapt to different aesthetics or characters with LoRAs.

My main focus is still the same: optimizing results for my favorite character Calem (Pokémon) — and I think this version really nails the balance I was aiming for.

❓ Compared to the previous version

It’s not necessarily “better” in every aspect — just more consistent in anatomy and tone.
Where WNHX Illustrious leaned slightly neutral and soft, Shinx Illustrious brings more warmth, depth, and definition.
