DigitalPastel_Illustrious_Checkpoint

Digital Pastel v3 (Illustrious Checkpoint) is a refined model designed for portraits with a clean, smooth art style. It enhances soft shading, crisp lines, and balanced color harmony, making it ideal for expressive characters and polished illustrations. This version improves facial detail, lighting accuracy, and composition stability, ensuring consistent, high-quality outputs with minimal artifacts. Perfect for those seeking a blend of painterly elegance and digital precision in their artwork.

As an Illustrious model, this checkpoint excels at generating images at 1024x1024 while also supporting a few higher resolutions. When combined with upscaling techniques, it can produce exceptionally crisp, high-quality images at larger sizes, maintaining sharp details and smooth rendering throughout.

I like to run it at cfg 5-8, Euler A, 20 steps (more also works),
