HonōKitsune Ai — Illustrious Edition v1

🇬🇧 Version changes / notes (Illustrious port)

1. Tailored for the “Illustrious Diffusion” checkpoint

   • A model focused on painterly illustration, rich brush-stroke textures, and bold lighting.

2. Dataset re-coloured & upscaled

   • 80 images → clip-studio style repaint @ 960×1344 px to match Illustrious’ vertical canvas bias.

3. Network capacity balanced

   • network_dim 144 · network_alpha 72 (≈ 50 MB) — enough to keep brush textures without bloating VRAM.

4. Training tweaks

   • UNet LR 7e-4 · Text Encoder LR 4e-5 · scheduler = cosine w/ restarts (5 cycles) to capture dynamic contrast.

   • Subtle Hue-Shift Augmentation to exploit Illustrious’ wider colour gamut.

5. Trigger word unchanged → hono_kitsune_ai.

6. Recommended weight

   • 0.55 – 0.75 for half-body / close-up.

   • 0.65 – 0.85 for full-body illustration.

7. Best paired with Illustrious-v1 or any derivative tuned for digital painting.
