The base model used in the merge is a custom checkpoint built upon an unofficial version of xRicaMix_ILXL_v5.2 , further refined into the merged Illustrious checkpoint.

Version 20250610b Update Notes:

This update introduces a subtle refinement to the eye shape and expression, enhancing the model’s ability to produce more natural and balanced gaze directions. Ideal for portraits requiring nuanced emotional tone or focused visual alignment.

All other elements remain consistent with the original Illustrious merge and SD1.5 aesthetic.
