ℹ️ v7.0: This version is a refinement-focused update that continues the Five Stars legacy while advancing its signature look with care and precision. This version introduces enhanced contouring fidelity and sharper regional segmentation, giving characters and scenes greater definition and depth across both soft and high-contrast settings.

While maintaining the expressive semi-realistic aesthetic of previous versions, this iteration strengthens the interaction between light and form, offering more deliberate shadow sculpting and luminosity variance. From low-light glow to reflective highlights, the model now handles a wider tonal spectrum with cleaner transitions and stronger contrasts, allowing for bolder image dynamics without becoming oversaturated.

Other subtle upgrades include:

• Slightly revised default facial profiles with a fresh, clearer finish.

• Improved framing awareness, especially in portrait-oriented compositions.

• Expanded color shade variety, supporting both subdued palettes and vibrant stylization.

• Continued emphasis on high fidelity, with crisp linework and defined silhouettes in detailed scenes.

Importantly, I try to preserve the iterative evolution of the model, with Five Stars Illustrious 7.0 attempting to retain the creative DNA of previous versions and is best thought of as a polished enhancement rather than a dramatic changes. I hope it offers more control, more precision, and just a touch more expressive freedom for creators using it.
ℹ️ v6.0: This version expands the foundation of previous releases with a quiet but deliberate shift in tone and versatility. It integrates fresh components and refinements that subtly rebalance the aesthetic - gently easing the dial back from a naturalism bias and giving more space for expressive, stylized interpretations.

This update includes nuanced adjustments across multiple aspects: smoother transitions between soft and sharp detail, better compositional flow, and more flexible handling of lighting conditions. Characters remain lively and grounded, but with a slightly more creative energy that adds charm without losing form.

Each version is an opportunity for me to explore ideas and polish further. With this release, I aimed to achieve a well-rounded update that feels both stable and creatively adaptive. It retains the spirit of Five Stars while opening the door a bit wider for playfulness, softness, and imagination.
ℹ️ v5.0: This version is another step in the model’s evolution. It integrates a wide range of new components and enhancements, with a focus on more volumetric visuals. Skin tones and surface textures have been improved for more natural, lifelike results, especially in semi-realistic and softly rendered styles. Default faces have been rebalanced. The model also features better handling of complex lighting and increased detail density across a wide range of scenes. This version aims to bring a more lifelike feel and atmospheric mood to the outputs.
ℹ️ v4.0: Fortunately, I’ve been able to train and design plenty of checkpoints recently, which allowed me to incorporate new effects and refinements into this version. I’ve focused on improving the model’s overall capabilities - enhancing prompt responsiveness, increasing style fidelity, and strengthening its handling of composition, depth, and color grading. I’ve also worked to push its ability to generate more cohesive and imaginative scenes, while still preserving the original feel and stylistic identity of previous versions. This model marks an important step forward for me.
ℹ️ v3.0: I might have gotten a little carried away with this one. I made a new training with many more styles. The model has a stronger digital art style now. Color saturation is increased, and the model can now choose to use darker colors and blacks, which it used to avoid in the past. It can create both intricate and smooth images. Overall, it's a really great complementary version of the model, which I like very much.
ℹ️ v2.0: Added a few new components, and new training with adjustment to more mature Western default face types, slightly stronger colors and a little bit more details, with more focus on subjects. I tried and hopefully succeeded to preserve the diversity of results and wide capabilities of the model for styles and concepts.
