Nagareboshi 🌠 Illustrious

Nagareboshi (流れ星, “shooting star”) is my first attempt at creating a balanced anime model.
I wanted something that could keep the clean, familiar feel of anime and manga while adding a touch of depth and atmosphere from semi-realistic styles.
It’s been fun testing it — it seems to work nicely for portraits, softer scenes, and a bit of fantasy too.

These are the settings I have used for the showcase images:

• Euler A

• 20-30 steps

• CFG 4

• Your preferred SDXL size

• Hires. Fix: Remacri 10 steps + ADetailer when needed

I’m still experimenting, so I’d love to see what others can make with it 🌠
