Purpose:
The focus of this checkpoint is clean, cel-shaded furry generations. This means smooth colors, expressive characters and clear outlines. Its not meant to be a harsh flat color style but instead more of a softer cel-shaded style, which is I feel is more vibrant and appealing. Humans and furries of all shapes are possible, feel free to experiment and post your results.

Helpful Tags:
flat color – Pushes the rendering toward stronger cel-shading with flatter colors and minimal shading. This is useful if you want a more traditional animation-style look.
outline – Emphasizes the linework around characters and gives it that white outline look.
Special Thanks and Extra Notes:
A massive thanks to all the creators of the loras and checkpoints used in this mix. Testing the Cel-Shade lora made me appreciate how good and unique each of the checkpoints used in this merge are and I wanted to capture some of that.
A special thanks to @LatteLeopard for their guidance and support, as well as @Piper260 for allowing me to use their loras.
If you want to really dial in the cel-shade look of the checkpoint. I recommend using my AnthroBlend Styles - Cel-Shade LoRA at 0.7 strength.
Description
V3 can be thought of as V2 but with the training wheels taken off. Out goes Wai and in comes in KageIllustrious and Indigo Furry Mix. V3 is actually what I originally had planned for V2, but at the time I wanted to play things safe. I don't regret that decision at all, but I've felt emboldened lately to shake things up a little and enjoy Illustrious what it still offers. So expect more varied results and better lighting, at the slight cost of consistency, ie. higher risk, higher reward.
