This Illustrious model was made with a combination of my favorite NoobAI checkpoint REED_FURRY_MiX_SDXL and the ever popular Wai Illustrious checkpoint. Since I already made and posted checkpoints for Pony and SDXL, I figured that I mind as well do an Illustrious one as well. Having seen examples of checkpoints made with NoobAI, I thought I try making one that way as well. I tried various combinations till I came across one I find to be well made.

The model has good vibrant colors, and makes characters rather well. And it works well with loras.

For the name I thought a while over that and concluded with a word I made up years ago by accident. When writing down names for fantasy cities ending with the word theum, to sound more Greek, I typed tehum instead. Since the word sounded fantasy like I decided to use that for the name of cities in the fantasy setting I was creating. Since it is not a real word it makes for a good and original name for a checkpoint.

Sampling Steps of 15 to 35 works well with most models, as does a CFG Scale of 3.5 to 7.5.
