Illustrij / v4.0

hey guys, ☺as u know I rlly love comic-anime-hybrid based checkpoints and digital art rendering with a touch of 3D on its way to semirealism. So I've thought it would be time to test Illustrious. This is how I wanna present to u ~ Illustrij ~ my first merged Illustrious checkpoint :)For showcase images I have used Euler a, 30 steps, CFG 7 and Hires x 1,5.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~about v5hey guys, ☺the gap between v4 and v5 was only a few days ago, but I've been "tinkering around" a bit and didn't want to keep it from you.

Trying to work on getting the quality closer to hires without hires - but there are still a few steps to go ^^ For people who have good hardware and can generally use a lot of Loras etc. at the same time the difference might not be that big, but I feel for the people who have small graphics cards :I The quality isn't perfect, but I've been working on it a bit ~ soft filling, clean renderings ~ the plan was to create an own style, subtly painted ~ anime-based, but still kissed by reality.

I hope you like the merge and I'm really looking forward to your results ♥Belonging to the style u prefer u can switch the promptings 4 sure by ur own taste. In general, I mostly use "masterpiece,best quality,amazing quality,very aesthetic,absurdres,newest,detailed eyes" for general quality prompting, and besides depending on whether I want more anime or anime semi 3D touched I am writing "A professional,high-quality,hyper-realistic portrait of a woman, 3D" for the semianime 3D version and "A professional,high-quality portrait of a woman" for anime e.g. or as a conclusion for semi-anime:"masterpiece, best quality, high resolution, very aesthetic, absurdres, newest, professional, high-quality, hyper-realistic, portrait of a woman, looking at viewer, detailed eyes, realistic body,"and neg.:"(lowres:1.2), (worst quality:1.4), (low quality:1.4), (bad anatomy:1.4), multiple views, jpeg artifacts, artist name, censored, young, 2D"Sometimes I either leave out the negatives completely or write, for example, "lowres, worst "aesthetic, bad quality, worst quality, bad anatomy, sketch, jpeg artifacts, ugly, young, soft rendering, face marks"depending on whether I use Euler or Euler a as sampler ^^Usually I structure my prompts based on this:subject description: who or what can be seen? (what does she/it look like? hair, eyes, clothing, description of the scene),light and shadow description,which angle, perspective, motion? qualityanddetailed descriptionor the quality at the very beginning and then the rest of the structure :)If u're tasty for more? Here is a lil insight into the prompt structure: https://civitai.com/articles/10509/il-portreij-step-by-step~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~about v4hey guys, ☺for V4 I changed the recipe a little to improve the quality a tiny bit and also to expand the options for prompts.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~about v3style closer to V1 anime based with a lil qualy upgrade ☺Showcase images without ADetailer~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~about v2a lil more 3D touched without using 3D in promptingsby writing "realistic" the style will become more into semirealism and without its closer to a semianime based stylefurry optionala lil quality upgrade, just a lil ^.^🌶️ sidefact for NSFW fans: viewer can interact with character by describing what hands can do (see sample images in the showcase)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~about v1If u like the style in the showcase images, u can addhigh-resolution, realistic, 3D,detailed skin, detailed eyes, shadows, dark light, eyelashes, upper body, cheeky, posing, holographic color,to ur prompt. Without it the style becomes more anime based.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~At further distance I would recommend using ADetailer.Today I can't say yet in which direction the merger is developing, but as a pony and flux fan, I can only say that I love the color intensity of Illustrious. I recently tested it and got a taste for it, maybe you'll like it too ☺I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur results ♥~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~a small comparison from V1 to V5⬆️ masterpiece, best quality, 1girl, face, portrait, looking at viewer, closed mouth, close upworst quality, bad quality~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*I hope it gives a little impression of the development ☺
