CalicoMix

Calico is the tri-color blending cat, 🐾CalicoMix is dedicated to combining shaded anime with elements of both semi-realism and surrealism.

This model was initially intended to produce cute anime characters, but it has also been discovered that it has the capability to produce NSFW content.
