Awesome Illustrious
About this model
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
Variants:
2D: a version that combines semi-realistic appearance with that typical 2D aesthetic
SemiReal: a version for those who prefer more detail and more realism
Recommended settings
cfg 3-5 (low is more matte, high gives more detail and more gloss)
30-40 steps
Recommended scheduler:
Euler A for 2D
DPM++ 3M SDE for SemiReal
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, but not necessarily needed since v4
Tip: Don't use score words, it's not a pony model!
