    ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ๐Ÿ’€ DaSiWa-Illustrious-XL | Anime ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ

    Version overview: https://civarchive.com/articles/23495/dasiwa-model-versions-and-timeline


    ๐Ÿ”ฎ Key Features:

    • ๐Ÿ”ฅ LoRA-Free Generations
      Generate high-quality art without stacking detailers (unless you want adding spacial styles/concepts).

    • Support of IL 2.0 features

    • Consistent characters

    • Extreme versatile (use quality prompts to get what you want)

    • Quality motions

    • ๐Ÿ”ž NSFW:

      • Enhanced anatomy + poses + framing

      • NSFW and SFW capable

      • For the love to ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›-Girls

    • Stable resolution support up to 1536x1536p without upscaling.

    • ๐ŸŽญ Crisp Details: Enhanced details, poses, backgrounds, outfits, and character features (all of them ๐Ÿ–ค)

    • ๐Ÿช„ Prompt Responsiveness (play with CFG (3-5).

    • ๐Ÿ“œ VAE Baked in

    • Read version details for the version you are using for more information!


    • Steps: 25-30 (I use 30 normally)

    • CFG: 3-5 (I use 3 or 4 normally)

    • Sampler: Euler

    • Scheduler: Normal or Simple

    • Resolution up to 1024x1536 (native quality).
      Standard Illustrious & SDXL resolutions also supported (1024 x 1024, 1152 x 896, 896 x 1152, 1216 x 832, 832 x 1216, 1344 x 768, 768 x 1344, 1536 x 640, 640 x 1536).

    My go to settings:

    • Aspect ratio 3:4 (basic images) or 9:16 (for i2v images)

    • 3 or 4 CFG

    • Euler/Normal

    • 30 steps


    ๐Ÿฉบ Fixes & Feedback

    • Some minor details still not perfect? Use a detailer, or inpaint with mask radius 8-60 and 0.2-0.3 strength over it.
      Most of the time you don't need unless the subject is further away.

    • If you use LoRAs, try to respect the LoRA training resolution, some LoRAs are not trained for high output and will show artefacts - than use inpaint to correct that.


    ๐Ÿ–ค Why I Made This

    I was tired of using all these embeddings, detailers, negative and quality prompting just to get a good image. Quality prompting is only used to get a specific result, not because the image will get trash without it.
    So I can just make my images with some style/character LoRAs without pushing 5-10 LoRAs into a generation.
    This checkpoint is also my personal playground.


    Closing words

    ๐ŸคฉInspired by @janxd checkpoint description! So cool!

    ๐ŸžRecommended offline Frontend/UI: SwarmUI
    I want to thank all the fantastic other creators who made super nice merges to play with!

    I can definitely tell that the last three versions have distinct artistic styles. Besides the visual differences, are there any other major changes between them?

    Did you use different datasets, training strategies, merges, or tuning methods for each version?

    I'm also curious whether each model has its own strengths or areas of specialization beyond the art style. Thanks for your work! ๐Ÿ˜Š

    I always try to experiment with different methods of doing these checkpoints, but for illustrious the most major change is art styles, merged weights from other checkpoints or Loras can have influence on aspects and performance in areas. I included training to aspects I want altered.

    I did an article this time, but it is still waiting to be published.

    This is the best anime checkpoint so far. This has become my default for all image generation, amazing!
    Also it's super fast even on my rtx 2080

    Hi, great checkpoint. Can you tell me please what inpainting and detailer are you using? I never used those before and I am a little stumped on where should i look for them.

    For Illustrious?
    I think Krea2 or Anima will do better for that.

    PastelPastelPastelJul 16, 2026

    @Darksidewalkerย yeah both i think you would do a good 3d style
