- Generating stylized anime renders. It includes different styles such as sketching, digital art, line-art and more.
- Generating highly creative compositions without sacrificing quality and accuracy of result.
- Generating female/male/transgender people. It's recommended to use for human/humanoid type subjects. Doesn't perform well with furry arts.
- Recognizes almost any character from its Danbooru tag with high accuracy. Still struggles to generate some characters due to lack of resource in training but this applies to all Illustrious models.
- Long complex tag based prompts are better than general prompting styles.
- Highly customizeable with correct usage of Danbooru tags.
- Recognizes Artist dataset of Danbooru from its tags but can't recognize real artists.

- User should specify subject count with `1girl`, `2girls` like tags to avoid generations with wrong subject count.
- Adding `by` to in front of artist names is most effecient way to use artist references. For example, `by ebifurya`
- It can work with standart tag like prompting but actual Danbooru tags ars best choice for prompting.
- Since it's Danbooru based, be sure to use `watermark, censor, patreon logo` like tags in negative to avoid them appear in your artworks.
- Danbooru is not totally safe and Illustrious models are still in beta phase, please use `child, childish, loli, shota` like terms in your negative and `adult` in your positive to avoid sexualized child depictions. Creating them on purpose may end up with ban.
