hey guys, ☺

as u know I rlly love comic-anime-hybrid based checkpoints and digital art rendering with a touch of 3D on its way to semirealism. So I've thought it would be time to test Illustrious. This is how I wanna present to u ~ Illustrij ~ my first merged Illustrious checkpoint :)

🎶 about v16 ♪ NEW

Back to the Core, Forward in Form

🔹 Illustrij 16

is a fusion ~ a conscious pause between old and new. She remains true to herself and recognizes her original reflection more than ever. What seems like a return is also progress: a rediscovery of the origin with a new perspective.

The semi-realistic base with a subtle anime touch remains, but now with a touch more video game aesthetic ~ stylized but tangible, inspired by character designs that balance between playable figure and digital fantasy. The look is more oriented towards the origins ~ before the big 2.5D shift ~ and picks up the iconic face shape of previous versions: familiar, rounder, clearer.

This time, the special focus is on the realistic reaction of the body: skin that responds to movement, light and shadow that create depth and presence. SFW and NSFW are still supported - but with more emphasis on the body through credible lighting and play of form. v16 wraps itself in a cocoon of “Back to the Roots”, interwoven with a sweet-cheeky duality ~ sweet but cheeky, like at the beginning. From this inner reconciliation a new self emerges: a balance between nostalgia and artistic development.
