Do you need a model for character illustration but are you frustrated that most models always default to anime characters? Do you seek a slight touch of realism but not too much? Do you want a model that can handle women and men alike? A model that is not NSFW-focused per sé but doesn't result in Barbie/Ken-like mutilations when you're in need of more skin?

After almost a year of experimenting with PDXL merges, I started experimenting with Illustrious. And now, low and behold:

AWESOME ILLUSTRIOUS

(a Stable Diffusion Illustrious model for quality character illustration enthusiasts)

Features:

  • Beautiful high quality illustrated characters

  • A more western comic-like style that differentiates from most Anime/Hentai/Manga models

  • A hand-picked blend of merged checkpoints and LORAs

  • Both SFW and NSFW supported

Versions:

  • 2D v1.0: a version that combines semi-realistic appearance with that typical 2D aesthetic

  • SemiReal v1.0-v3.0: a version for those who prefer more detail and more realism

Recommended settings

  • cfg 4-6 (keep it low!)

  • 30-40 steps

  • Euler / Euler A / DPM++ 3M SDE

  • Normal scheduler for simple scenes, Beta scheduler for complex and detailed scenes

  • Works well for both txt2img and img2img

  • Keywords: artbook illustration, stylized digital art, cel shading, ...

  • Tip: Don't use score words, it's not a pony model!
