Royal Blend XL

Update

Version 5.0
This version makes small changes to the style and let it look a bit more saturated and a bit more "smoother".
But most changed were made in how the breasts are displayed. They now have a more natural look and can get "pretty big"!

Version 4.0
For this release, I took Royal Blend V2 as the base and added Hotaru Blend V2 and some styling loras to the merge. The style is now far more detailed and less "cutesy" then V3 was.

I recommend using a Highres Fix for this release, as it improves the finer details drastically.

The following settings were used for the Sample pictures using Forge:
Sampler / Scheduler: DPM++ 2M with Karras or Euler A+SGM Uniform
CFG: 4-5 / 25 steps
Highres fix: 1.5 scale, 15 highres steps, 0.5 denoise, Upscaler: Latent (nearest-exact)

Version 3.0

This new version is a Rouwei/Illustrious based merge.

It features

a more colorful and cleaner look
better poses and anatomy
improved facial details
improved background details

New recommended settings

Sampler: Euler A / Scheduler: SGM Uniform
