An Illustrious furry/anthro checkpoint merge built on Lox’s Furry Land V5.0

This merge exists because Dr. Lox / DrLox was incredibly generous and gave special, explicit permission to use Lox’s Furry Land as the base. That is not a small thing. Furry Land is one of the most beautiful furry-anime Illustrious checkpoints out there, and my personal favorite.

Thank you, Dr. Lox. Genuinely. This merge only exists because you trusted me with your work.
Please go follow, like, generate on, and support the original checkpoint. This mix is a remix sitting on their foundation, not a replacement for it.

What this merge is trying to do

Keep the soul of Lox’s Furry Land V5.0 (anime-furry beauty, lighting, faces, overall polish) and lean it harder toward:

• anthro coherence and species detail

• elephant / trunk / tusk / ear anatomy

• Eleptor OC flavor, especially Danica Phant

• a mild western comic / illustrated edge from Cherry-gig

• extra style polish from Illustrious Style Pack (IFL)

It is still a furry/anthro-first Illustrious checkpoint. Prompt it like Furry Land, then add species and character tags.

Positive starter

text

masterpiece, best quality, amazing quality, very aesthetic, absurdres,
furry, anthro, detailed fluffy fur, detailed face, expressive eyes

Optional extras

text

high resolution, ultra-detailed, newest

Negative starter

text

worst_quality, bad_quality, poorly_detailed, lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands,
missing fingers, extra digits, extra limbs, fused fingers, jpeg artifacts,
signature, watermark, text, simple background

Additional LoRAs usually play nice around 0.4–0.7. You often need less species LoRA than you would on a generic Illustrious base, because elephant / anthro bias is already baked in.

Notes / honesty

• This is a merge, not a from-scratch train. Anything great in the faces, color, and “Furry Land feel” comes from Dr. Lox.

• Elephant anatomy and OC flavor come from my LoRAs. Western-illustrated spice comes from Cherry-gig. Extra style glue comes from Icecrown1’s IFL pack.

• If something looks too elephant-biased, drop the elephant tags and prompt another species more strongly.

Huge thanks

Dr. Lox — thank you again for the special permission. You didn’t have to say yes, and you did. Furry Land is the backbone of this merge, and I am loudly pointing everyone back to you.

Also thank you to Icecrown1 and the Cherry-gig Western Style creator for the style LoRAs, and thanks to everyone who posts generations.
