Kuro-Rok「黒六」

Kuro-Rok「黒六」 is an experimental Block-Weighted Merge (MBW) designed for high-impact 2D anime illustration, dynamic action shots, and flexible artist style emulation.

By combining the structural integrity, anatomy, and Danbooru prompt responsiveness of Illustrious-XL with the rich shading, vibrant color depth, and textured rendering of ChenkinNoob-XL, Kuro-Rok delivers sharp lineart, dramatic lighting, and deep volumetric shadows without sacrificing character consistency.

Key Features

• Preserved Text Conditioning: The Text Encoders (CLIP-L & OpenCLIP-G) remain anchored to Illustrious-XL, ensuring full Danbooru tag compliance, accurate character recognition, and expressive facial details.

• Refined Block-Weighted UNet: Carefully tuned across input and output layers to capture painterly textures, complex clothing folds, and cinematic contrast while keeping the middle block stable for foreshortening and extreme perspective shots.

• Strong Style & Artist Adaptability: Designed specifically to absorb and reproduce distinctive artist aesthetics with rich line weight variation and modern anime shading.
