UPDATE: The information about the model's availability has been resolved, though I don't know the exact details. It's here on CivitAI as ilustmix_v30 and I've added it as a resource since I feel a bit goofy now just taking it down.

This refine had a nondescript name and was downloaded from a source that no longer exists and for something so nondescript it turned out to be my go-to for more than a year and I continue to use it because of its adherence to old-school comic style generations, producing clean lines and barely interferes with ILL-0.1's prompt crafting capabilities while allowing for versatility for styles like 3d, comic, air-brush, amateur drawing and clean sketches.

I don't know who made it but would love to give credit for this gem, if I can ever find them.

If that person should present themselves just point me to a binary equivalent for verification, I've altered the uploaded one to ween out imposers.

Whenever I'm testing the Danburoo or e621 set of trigger terms for interesting characters, outfits or actions I'll go to this first to make sure it's in Illustrious before pulling my hair out.

I utilize this model extensively to produce images for training data to create LoRA so I wanted to share this gem with others. I'm not sure who made it but the basic information I saved on it tells me that it had no additional restrictions beyond the commonly offered Illustrious license, so I'm asserting that one.

I have a general idea of which models were mixed in order to produce this one, so just to be as thorough as I could, I checked those models and they're also unrestricted except what is required by the mentioned license.

The example images are there just for content and I had no particular motivation to generate interesting scenes, and usually don't anyway because I use it on a modular basis, generating a character, a pose or some situation that's easily done by Illustrious but difficult, or impossible, for the target I've chosen.

In addition I have no particular interest in promoting this model so please don't feel like you're being a good participant by nodding, commenting, voting or trying to chat, it's only here so that I'm not withholding something after I've mentioned it as being part of my process elsewhere.

However, if you're an Illustrious fan, it would be a mistake to pass this over.

I spent zero effort prompting for the examples, and I haven't even started to yet but I know exactly what I'm going to do, just search the web for prompts and toss them in, and if I get something good I'll use it.
