# ∞ 218 SDXL aka 'counterproductive illustration' omE
I only recently started dabbling in SDXL models, but I already put a lot of testing into it. Mostly comparisons, testing loras, trying to fix some shortcomings in models I liked.
I decided on a model called ReproductionXL because it looked the best to me. After that I merged CounterfeitXL because Counterfeit aesthetics are still one of if not the best.
Then I merged that result with Anime Illust Diffusion XL as I found the idea of being able to use different artstyles with tags fun -- and it is a lot of fun.
This took around 2 days of manual scoring and guidance through a Bayesian process, usually 500 samples per merge, which I did about 7 times total to arrive here.
And so there you have it, that's the current point in time.
Onwards I'm looking to see how I can use Lynn's Animagine XL 2 and upgrade the main igredients with their latest updates.
I'm looking to add multiple characters (animagine should help with that) and more styles that aren't currently present within the model.
