Shinx Illustrious - (Old is WNHX-Illustrious)

I’m still not a pro — just someone who enjoys tinkering with model merging 😎.After my previous release (WNHX Illustrious), I kept experimenting, merging more checkpoints, and fine-tuning the balance until this new version finally came together.This one’s called Shinx Illustrious ⚡ — inspired by that same spark of curiosity (and a bit of chaos) that keeps me merging stuff at 2 AM.🔹 What’s new this time?Built from more diverse models → better anatomy, structure, and stability across styles.Stronger masculine bias 👤💪 → great for male or gender-neutral characters, especially portraits.Warmer color tones ☀️ — gives a more natural and grounded vibe overall.Still flexible enough to adapt to different aesthetics or characters with LoRAs.My main focus is still the same: optimizing results for my favorite character Calem (Pokémon) — and I think this version really nails the balance I was aiming for.❓ Compared to the previous versionIt’s not necessarily “better” in every aspect — just more consistent in anatomy and tone.Where WNHX Illustrious leaned slightly neutral and soft, Shinx Illustrious brings more warmth, depth, and definition.
