"IllusionBreed" is an Illustrious-based SDXL checkpoint, pursuing "kawaii", cuteness.

v1.0 is an experimental version.

This checkpoint has 2 variations : 2D style (basic) type or a bit realistic (2.5D) style type. To download each types, switch version tabs ↑ above.

I feel that model merging is similar to the breeding of flowers (to improve their appearance), so named "Breed".

These models have special features :

Include many originally trained data to adjust painting style (saturation, tone), eye shape, and quality (finely detailed pupils, finely detailed outlines, fine painting, reducing grain noise etc).
Detailed backgrounds.
Powerful prompting based by Illustrious (and NoobXL).

More various other LoRA's and Checkpoints are released on my CivitAI models list or HuggingFace repository. Please check it out.
