# The Illustrious family

> Run Illustrious fine-tunes in the browser on Mage: an SDXL-based anime and illustration family in the model catalog, unlimited from Basic.

Illustrious is an open-weights image model built for anime and illustration, with a large ecosystem of fine-tunes and LoRAs. There is no single model on Mage called Illustrious. The model catalog carries Illustrious checkpoints, hosted on Mage's GPUs, so you pick the one that matches the look you want and generate in a browser tab.

## Overview

| Detail         |                                                              |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Type           | Image                                                        |
| Origin         | SDXL checkpoints in the model catalog, hosted on Mage's GPUs |
| Unlimited from | Basic, like every SDXL checkpoint                            |

## Best for

* Anime and manga illustration
* Character art with a specific published style
* Line art and cel shading
* Prompts written as comma-separated tags

## An example prompt to start from

```text theme={null}
a courier with silver hair in a red jacket, city street at night, neon reflections, detailed line art, cel shading
```

## Limitations

* These are SDXL checkpoints, so they take LoRAs, Textual Inversions, ControlNet, and negative prompts, and they are not connected to Characters or References.
* Stacking many LoRAs degrades the result. Two or three is usually the practical ceiling regardless of your plan.
