If you want to support me, bidding buzz on the weekly auctions page for the model helps me keep it up for on-site generation.
Recommended settings :
Positive prompt : masterpiece, best quality
Negative prompt : worst quality, low quality, bad anatomy, watermark, censored
Sampler : Euler a
CFG Scale : 5-7
I highly recommend using the ADetailer extension for better faces and eyes.
For v2, I merged v1 with some NoobAI models, @GarejiSama's AdAstra and @Manityro's Vermilion, making v2 much more compatible with NoobAI based LoRAs.
The baked in VAE is Anzhc's, which you can get here, gives a much sharper look to images, reduced noise, and makes colors less bland overall.
LustrousMix v2 generations are more colorful than v1's, with more contrast and sharpness. There is a slight art style change as well, with more mature faces.

Hope you enjoy!

first This based and gem-pilled ckpt will make a fine addition to my collection.
Nice thank you <3
Crisp clear high quality model
A banger, my friend
This looks really good as well! Are there any clear benefits to this versus the Pony-based model?
The benefits are those that come with Illustrious as a whole, more innate knowledge, a more traditional anime look to it, which I personally prefer. It's better at a lot of concepts without needing LoRAs, handles things like weapons or holding things a lot better in general, and it's also much better at abstract art.
The biggest plus for me would have to be the return of decent backgrounds, which Pony really lacked.
Perfect like always !
このmodelは大変優れています!素晴らしい仕事です!
It's strong when drawing simple-normal pattern clothes. (Bunny Girl, Floral Design).
But it's not enough to express a very complex pattern of clothes. (Many Pattern, Fractal, Many Ornaments).
Expresses the background is very good.
And Very Strong At H-Scene (Important).can cover many situation.
"(important)" lololloolollo
Strikingly similar to Wai (considering it's part of the marge, that makes sense). Slightly better eyes makes this the winner for me currently.
I don't comment often on anime models but this one looks really good, both for anatomy consistency and overall details/aesthetics!
Hey, yeah it'll get updates in the future!
It's a good generative engine, maybe they'll soon be able to build a technique to recreate two different anime art styles in one generating. I'll wait until then.
Is there's no Toji Fushiguro in this mix? I've Tried it many times but it keeps making His son Megumi instead, i can't believe it smh
Merge should have the same character knowledge as other illustrious based merges, maybe try to be a bit more precise and add helper tags that are specific to Fushiguro like "muscular male" so it doesn't mistake the two. If it won't work, try to look at a LoRA, instead.
@Hoseki Muscular tag does'nt work since Megumi Is slightly muscular, I guess Fushiguro tag is very exclusively for Megumi only because "Toji Fushiguro/Fushiguro Toji \(Jujutsu kaisen\)" tag only generate Megumi
Is there's any tag for Sensei from blue archive (anime)? I really love his Design and It'll Be very nice to see him like carrying His Student (Asuna, Shiroko, etc) or something like that
And also I really love your blue archive character's Lora so much
Tag should be "sensei (blue archive)"
@Annonii I finally found the toji tag that you're looking for, the tag is simply "Fushiguro Touji" with "u" and idk why the tag is like that
What?? how did you know that unusual tag because the Official name is "Toji" without the "u"?
But yeah, thank you so much
@Annonii Illustrious training was based on booru tags, which would be "fushiguro touji" for Toji. So you should always check danbooru for tags
@cwhk so it's from the booru, but which booru web? idk any about that
Nice
why i use this model produce image ,progress 100% is change to black image inevitable。。。。
Very good for tentacle hentai pics.
I just wish I could generate pictures of Ruan Mei from Honkai Star Rail with it.
EDIT: I found a LoRA that worked for her.
amazing!
This page is getting worst, now i cant use this checkpoint anymore -_-
It's because of the new auction thing, it'll work again next week, J'll try to bid for it.
Are checkpoints down again? What's going on?
Apologies for the model not being available for generation, I forgot to check the auctions on last day and got outbid. I'll try to bid for it to be back online next week.
Please do, your model was one of my favorites. 🙏
I'll be sure to help, you deserve it
I know the site needs money but this "new feature" seems to be a little bit rude..
My number #1 checkpoint model of them all! Hope we get it back on generation 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hey, it's back online, for this week...
@Hoseki for this week?
Which means it might not be available always? 😥😥
@AImixz it needs to get at least the 200th place in the auctions each week
@Hoseki whaaaaat? How we could help? Why even this system existed?
@MansaBentai Month late, but you can use your buzz to bid in the site's auction, where the top 200 checkpoints are available for generation. It's basically CivitAI trying to bleed as much money from users as they can. It's a weekly thing, so need to re-bid each week for the checkpoint you want to primariliy use that week, pretty much.
You can do it! we'll be waiting ♥
Model is back online for this week, gonna try to keep it up from now on.
You're the one that makes me feel so hiiiiiigh
Just like the diamonds in the skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
God bless you 🙏
199th spot this week. Almost didn't make it.
@darkdill
Yeah, I severely underestimated the bidding potential of the last couple of hours and got distracted by IRL matters.
Not gonna lie this is a tiresome process, if any of you guys want to help me keep track of it weekly in case I forget to, it'd be really appreciated. You don't have to bid, sending me a DM would help since there's a notification sound.
@Hoseki umm Maybe you can use Google Calendar Custom Alarm on the Date When the Bidding Ends and set alarm to final 7/8 hours before the Bidding Ends, so you immediately bid in the final day before the Bidding Ends.
Because most will forget to DM, when creators forgets the timing, the users will forget more faster usually.
Hey, model almost didn't make it this week, top 199.
If any of you guys want to help me keep track of it weekly in case I forget to, it'd be really appreciated.
Sending me a DM if you see this model or the pony version not being in the top 200 near the end would help since there's a notification sound.
I will use the LoRA of the work.
Forgot about the auctions, week flew by. I really hate this system.
Agreed. File a lawsuit if you can. Force CivitAI to dump it. /s
Also, can't you set an automated bid? Or does it not let you do that for large amounts of Buzz?
I don't blame ya. Glad Citviai asked their community if they wanted something as dumb as this. Oh wait-
I feel ya. I was wondering why it was gone from the online generation list, until I remembered auction was a thing
Back on the generator.
Back on the generator.
What does Dormant mean?
That means not many people uses this model to generate stuff.
All thanks to the auction system that locked this model away for a week
@hyderanged it's actually getting a decent amount of generation lol, not as much as before the idle week, but not behind by far, their "quiet" thing is probably inaccurate.
@Hoseki I guess if would take time to finally got into "buzzing" or similar
