HassaMix XL is a semi-realistic anime checkpoint merge with softer shading and warmer light.
Recipe: 0.45 x Hassaku XL Illustrious (v3.0) + 0.35 x WAI-illustrious-SDXL (v17) + 0.20 x Illustrious-XL-v1.0, applied to the UNet only (VAE and text encoder inherited from the first model).
What you get:
Hassaku's painterly skin, hair and material rendering
- WAI-illustrious' reliable anatomy, posing and prompt adherence
- A clean anime base from Illustrious-XL v1.0
Suits portraits, moody lighting and semi-realistic character art, while staying firmly in anime territory rather than going full photographic.
[Recommended settings] Sampler DPM++ 2M, 28-32 steps, CFG 6.5-7, 832x1216. Works well with danbooru-style tags. bf16 recommended.
