An extreme development of SteinIllustrious (merged back within the original model all of my Illustrious models were spawned from, ZukiCute_v3, at about 0.15, along with small injections from Augenstein to take advantage of the LORAs within those models), IlluStein emphasizes an expressive anime visual style, while stepping a bit further away from 3D styles. It's just too different at this point for me to justify bundling it under SteinIllustrious. Versatile and knowledgeable - though it does struggle a little bit with hands and eyes some of the time. As always, I recommend using ADetailer. Without guidance, it's about 50/50 on SFW/NSFW designs.
Description
I tried working with the previous version, but the results weren't quite what I was looking for, so, I backtracked a bit to the model that spawned V1, a test model from the Augenstein branch. This is the result of about a month of teaching myself how to use Merge Block Weighted model merging, tuning this result out of several of my other model families (a bit from SteinIllustrious, a bit from Augenstein, a bit from the first version of this model) and an injection of a custom style LORA created by a friend (https://civitai.com/models/1093016/steins-old-style). This new version, V2, is the result of MBW merging, and injection of a new LORA which is 60% my old style LORA, and 40% of Bokato's Pox LORA (https://civitai.com/models/1420597/pox-furry-style-illust-v1) to give more style and versatility. This version is, therefore, reliably better at furry art.
