Illustrious iLustMix, AI Image Generator

iLustMix v10 is one of the most popular SDXL models, recognized for its semi-realistic anime imagery. Version 10 brings improved character rendering, vibrant color palettes, rich backgrounds, and excellent handling of multi-character scenes.

Prompt Tips

Quality tags (masterpiece, best quality, very aesthetic, absurdres) are added automatically: start your prompt directly with the subject
Use Danbooru-style tags; for multi-character scenes, give the count first ("2girls, 1boy") then describe each character in turn
Describe the background explicitly ("detailed background, city street, rain, night") to get its rich scenery
Add "semi-realistic" or "realistic shading" to push toward its semi-realistic style, or "flat color" for a cleaner anime look
