Overview

Introducing Raehoshi illust XL 8 , an enhanced iteration built upon the Illustrious XL model. It aims to elevate the visual style by addressing some of the limitations in the original, such as oversaturation and artifact noise. While these issues are not entirely eliminated, noticeable improvements have been made. The goal is to deliver a more polished, balanced output while staying true to the strengths of the base model.
