Description:
illustraVERSA is a custom merged checkpoint combining Arthemy Comics V4.5 (Illustrious) and Animij v6 to create a versatile, high-quality illustration model. This merge preserves the broad prompting understanding and stylistic flexibility of Arthemy’s checkpoint while integrating Reijlitas’s refined details, offering exceptional results across a wide range of CFG values (from 8 to even above 10).

Whether you’re creating comic-style illustrations, bold linework, or expressive character art, illustraVERSA delivers consistent quality and detail, making it a reliable choice for both experimental and polished outputs.
