GDP Illustrious Toon

Description

This model borrows from my own Illustrious model GDP Illustrious and several Loras, some I created and some I downloaded, as well as the absolutely fantastic Nova Cartoon XL model to create more cartoonish/comic style images, but retains a lot of the flexibility of vanilla Illustrious models.

Ingredients

This is a merge of several amazing Illustrious models that created GDP Illustrious :

The primary model is an excellent realistic model, NovaRealityXL. This model produces fantastic images, please check it out!

Nova was then merged with the awesome WAI-NSFW_Illustrious. I love this checkpoint!

The resultant checkpoint was then merged with another fantastic model that is more 2.5D, Illustrij.

Then, since I really love the results I was getting with this model: Nova Cartoon XL was merged back in along with DisneyLikeIllust Lora, and a few merged other Loras.

I highly recommend consulting the descriptions on the four above models to get the best results.

Prompting

In the positive prompt, I almost always include some quality tags that I borrowed from this excellent article by @Cicatriz. If you haven't checked it out, you should!

masterpiece, best quality, absurdres, amazing quality, very aesthetic, newest, perfect quality, absolutely eye-catching, 

I've noticed Illustrious is more sensitive to negative prompting, so this might be overkill. I usually use the following in the negative prompt:

child, kid, childish, childlike, loli, asian, 

An example prompt:
