although I wasn't planning on doing a revision so quickly, a quiet spark inside me made me want to update Illustrij with a lil more soul ~ especially in her hands, her gestures, her presence. She's still herself, just a touch more expressive.

✨ At the same time, on-site generation has brought new challenges ~ and one of them is staying true to her unique face without needing facefixes. That’s why I’ve been merging and refining more often lately. It's not just tinkering ~ it’s me listening closely to her, shaping her gently, and trying to bring her essence through without compromise.
