This is my Checkpoint Merge. I decided to take my favourite models and get something of my own that will combine elements of realism (proportions, light and shadows) and anime style.

Model features:

• Hybrid style (animerealism)

• Support Characters

• More semi-realistic style, which is achieved with the tag "Realistic"

I am publishing the latest version. All previous versions are available on civitai

Ver. 4.0 Summer Trip With Angel

I’m excited to present the new version of my checkpoint line, ShiroMix. Starting from this release, I’ve decided to skip the intermediate versions, making this a full-fledged version 4.

For this update, I focused primarily on mixing my previous models and incorporating my own custom LoRAs. The only external checkpoint I used for regularization was waiNSFWIllustrious_v150. My goal was two-fold: to achieve a noticeable step forward in the base artistic style, and to ensure much more stable behavior when using my character LoRAs.

This version adds a greater degree of realism to the characters' features, but they remain highly recognizable and faithful to their original designs. According to the latest tests, this new version works significantly better with character LoRAs compared to its predecessor. Overall, the model strikes a great balance between realism and anime aesthetics.

For this release, I used the new Crystal - VAE [SDXL/Illustrious] v3 for the first time. It fits this version perfectly, as it adds subtle contrast, saturation, and brightness without overwhelming the overall look.
