Creator notes

🎀 What is Illustrij Evo? Evo isn’t just an Illustrij update. It’s not a patch. Not a sequel. Evo is a NEW class. ♪ A second main. A merge that doesn’t just work ~ it feels. Right where things turn cozy, dreamy, soft ~ and yet detailed, expressive, and free. If u know me as a gamer, u know: I was never just one main. 100% into more than one class ~ that’s my gamer setting. And that’s exactly how Evo came to life. 🎀 Illustrij Evo Lvl3 NEW | 🎀 | Specs: DPM++ 2M Karras· 30 Steps · 832×1216 CFG · 4-7 · Hires ×1.526 · SFW & NSFW | 🎀 | update Lvl2 | 🎀 | with or without quality tags usable ☺ ur taste ~ UR CHOICE quality tags option examples: | + | masterpiece, best quality, | ~ | worst quality, bad quality, or | + | masterpiece, best quality, ultra-detailed, 8k resolution, high dynamic range, absurdres, stunningly beautiful, intricate details, sharp focus, detailed eyes, cinematic color grading, high-resolution texture, nails, | ~ | (worst quality:2), (low quality:2), (normal quality:2), bad anatomy, bad proportions, poorly drawn face, poorly drawn hands, missing fingers, extra limbs, blurry, pixelated, distorted, lowres, jpeg artifacts, watermark, signature, text, (deformed:1.5), (bad hands:1.3), overexposed, underexposed, censored, mutated, extra fingers, cloned face, bad eyes I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur results ~♥ Reij 🎀 Illustrij Evo Lvl2 | 🎀 | no update ! A reinterpretation ~ back to the roots of my Illustrij, yet in a fresh new look. Striking a balance between anime and semi-realism, deeper, more tangible ~ walking the line between fantasy and real accents. Less is more. And more is never enough? That’s why: no quality tags, no negative prompts ~ just freedom for creatives, whether seasoned prompt pros or complete newcomers. The expression comes with the tags. A model made to inspire, not to restrict. Specs: Euler a / DPM++ 2M Karras· 40 Steps · 832×1216 · Hires ×1.526 · SFW & NSFW | 🎀 |💡 Extra tip: For minimal settings (e.g. 15-20 steps · DPM++ 2M Karras · CFG 4) I’d especially recommend using quality tags, as they can help stabilize and enrich the output. | 🎀 | 💡 For those curious about the showcased ladies’ look: Use tags like (mature) woman, perky breasts, large breasts, small waist, soft thighs, skin pressed, (...pick a COLOR...) lashes, long lashes, very awa ~ and then let ur imagination expand on it. | 🎀 | 🔎 Quality Tags – simple example My showcase runs without quality tags and without negative prompts. But here’s how things might look with some common ones, inspired by Lizardon’s style: + Prompt: masterpiece, best quality, 1girl, face, portrait, looking at viewer, closed mouth – Prompt: worst quality, bad quality 👉 The difference? Adding tags like masterpiece or best quality often sharpens the render and gives a slightly more polished look. Negative tags like worst/bad quality help push the model away from low-res or unwanted outputs. | 🎀 | The fun part: try it urself, compare with the clean version (no tags, no negatives), and see which style u vibe with most. ⚠️On Site Settings Evo Lvl 2 ❗? I recommend using Euler a / DPM++ 2M Karras with 40 steps and Hires Fix at denoise 0.2, as it gives a more clean, detailed results ~ but of course, that’s a matter of taste. ☺ I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur reults ~♥ Reij 🎀 Illustrij Evo Lvl1 🎀 What makes Evo different Evo doesn’t aim to impress ~ it wants to move with u. It’s a merge for those who read between the lines. Those who don’t just type “smile”, but feel which kind is meant: - ❌ Cheeseface - ✅ A gentle play in the eyes, real warmth, a cozy moment Evo responds to emotion, gaze depth, subtle lighting. Not overdone. Not overprocessed. But intentionally thoughtful. 🎀 Flexible like a Skilltree No quality tags? Evo holds up. Strong identity. Clear style. No blur, no break. Even with minimal prompts ~ it still feels cozy, soft, organic. With quality tags? Evo shows u its full magic: cinematic detail, intricate texture, soft focus, dreamy lighting, expressive eyes U decide how far u want to push ~ Evo listens, but stays true to itself. 🎀 Who is Evo for? | 🎀 | Prompt Newbies | Starts soft. Evo works even without prompt wizardry. | | 🎀 | Prompt Experts | Emotional nuance? Tag precision? Evo scales with u. | | 🎀 | Gamers & Character Creators | Build ur look like an RPG. Style ur Char. Design ur avatar dreamspace. | | 🎀 | LoRA Tinkerers | Evo loves LoRAs. | | 🎀 | Fashion Designers | Knit, silk, shimmer ~ Evo renders fashion with texture, elegance, and cozy depth. | | 🎀 | Slice-of-Life Prompters | Cozy settings, warm glances, dreamy scenes ~ Evo brings softness to life. | | 🔥 | NSFW Artists | Sensual, subtle, or bold ~ Evo keeps it playful, tasteful | 🎀 What Evo really is Evo isn’t the loudest model. Not the flashiest. But it has depth. Warmth. Character. It invites you to not just generate an image ~ but open up spaces. For u. For our vision. For our cozy home in the world of prompting. Evo is a merge with soul. A merge for discovery. A merge to feel. Maybe it’ll become ur new main. Or ur beloved second character. But it’ll stay with u ~ because it feels right. 🎀 Evo ~ An Illustrij Through and Through ~ With a Hint of Surprise 🔥 Evo was meant to be something of its own. A new main. An Evo. A new class in the Merge-RPG. But the more time you spend with Evo – the clearer it becomes: Evo carries the heart of Illustrij. She’s playful, cozy, detailed. Stylish. Expressive. Emotional. But Evo has her own twist: Sometimes ~ only sometimes ~ she reveals a lil more than expected. Never forced. Never loud. But with the same delicate touch as her older sister ~ just with a touch more openness. A little freer. A little bolder. A little more… Evo. If u know Illustrij, u’ll recognize her in a heartbeat. If u feel Evo, u’ll discover a new facet. A merge with soul ~ and a playful wink. Or maybe even a cheeky tongue-out moment? 😜 Evo is an Illustrij Evo is the sister wh

7,000°

Floor

The scale runs from 0° to 9,999°. Everything below 7,000° is kept for models no source reports on yet, which carry a stand-in number there so lists stay complete. 7,000° is where measured data begins: a model with real data but almost no downloads sits at the floor, and the measurements fill the degrees above it. The floor says nothing about the model; only the degrees above it do, and they are what separates one model from another.

+256°

Civitai downloads

23,383 downloads of this exact version on Civitai. Downloads are the heaviest ingredient and are counted on a log scale: ten times the downloads adds the same 300°, so a model with a million downloads is not a thousand times hotter than one with a thousand. The six download sources share that one term, split between them in proportion to their counts.

+1,309°

Generation sites

117,673 downloads and generation runs of this model's copies on SeaArt. Each run counts as one download, and their downloads count like Civitai's; all of it shares the download term.

+534°

Likes

3,637 likes and thumbs up across the sources. A like weighs half a download, on the same log scale.

+74°

Adoption rate

About 9 downloads a day, measured between two readings of the sources, never guessed from a lifetime average. Speed weighs a quarter of the download term, so a fresh surge shows without letting a one-day spike outrank years of use.

+150°

Full model

+150° because this is a full model: a checkpoint, the weights themselves. A LoRA or an embedding is an add-on to someone else's weights and does not outrank a checkpoint of equal popularity.

−497°

Age

−497° because the SDXL weights came out in 2023. Every model inherits the age of the weights it is built on: 150° a year, up to 750°, and it keeps growing until then. Without it the top of the list would be 2022 and 2023 checkpoints on the strength of downloads that had years to pile up.

Show detailed breakdown

Every number on this site can be checked. This model's heat score is 8,826°, and here it is built one ingredient at a time, with the running total after each: the floor, the degrees each source adds, the bonus for the kind of model and what the age of its weights takes away. The colors are the bands of the chart above. The glossary at the end defines every term.

1
Start at the floor.
Why 7,000° and not zero: the scale runs from 0° to 9,999°, and the part below 7,000° is reserved for models no source reports on yet, which carry a stand-in number there so the lists stay complete and never outrank a model with data. 7,000° is where measured data begins. A model with real data but almost no downloads sits here; everything that follows is measurement, and the room above the floor holds ten tenfold steps in downloads at 300° each. The floor is the same for every model, so it decides nothing; the degrees above it do.

Glossary: the terms used here

Heat score: One number for how much a model is used and wanted right now, from 0° to 9,999°. Every list on this site that says hottest is sorted by it and nothing else.
Floor: The 7,000° every model with real data starts from. The scale runs from 0° to 9,999°; the part below the floor is reserved for stand-ins (models without data), so that a model with data always ranks above one without. The floor is the same for everyone and decides nothing; the degrees above it are the measurement.
Download-equivalents: Everything the score treats as a download, added up: downloads themselves, each torrent seeder as 1,000, each AI Horde image and each run on a generation site as one.
Log scale: Counting by tens, not by ones: going from 1,000 to 10,000 downloads adds the same degrees as going from 10,000 to 100,000. It keeps giants from crowding out everything else.
Likes: Thumbs up and likes from every source, worth half a download each on the log scale.
Adoption rate: How many downloads a day a model gets right now, from the difference between two readings of a source. A quarter of the weight of the download term.
Measured and estimated: Measured means two readings of a source exist and the difference is real. Estimated means only today's total is known and the past is spread over the model's life; the site says which one it is showing.
Seeder: Someone who keeps a copy of the weights online for others to download over a torrent, or a hosted mirror doing the same. Each one counts as 1,000 downloads.
AI Horde: A volunteer network that generates images for free on donated computers. The number of images it has made with a model is public, and each counts as one download.
Generation sites: Sites that host their own copies of a model and let people generate with it, such as PixAI, SeaArt and Yodayo. Their downloads count like Civitai's and each generation run as one download.
OpenRouter tokens: A text model served through an API, such as Claude or GPT, has no weights to download, so its usage is measured in tokens: the pieces of text it read and wrote through OpenRouter, a gateway many apps use, over the last 30 days. Every 10,000,000 tokens count as one download. Source: OpenRouter (openrouter.ai/rankings), CC BY 4.0.
Full model (checkpoint): The weights themselves, the file that generates on its own. It gets a bonus because add-ons depend on it.
LoRA and embedding: Small add-on files that steer someone else's weights toward a style, a character or a concept. They cannot run alone.
Family and weights: The base a model is built on, such as SD 1.5, SDXL, Flux or Wan. Every model inherits the release date of its family's weights.
Age: Degrees taken off for how long ago the family's weights came out: 150° a year, up to 750°. It keeps old downloads that had years to pile up from freezing the top of the list.
Family boost: A small, bounded nudge for LoRAs of a family this site is pushing forward right now, always listed in the breakdown.
Stand-in score: A stable number below the floor given to a model no source reports on yet, so lists stay complete. It never ranks above a model with data.
New! (grace period): A model less than 7 days old shows New! instead of a score and holds no place in the rankings. Its score is computed from day one, but a model one day old grows faster than anything, so without the wait the week's #1 would always be whatever came out yesterday rather than what held up for a week.
Trend: How a model's growth over a period compares with the typical model's growth over the same period. Faster than typical reads as a rise, slower as a fall.
Typical model: The middle of the catalog: half the models with a figure grew faster over the period, half slower.

How this model's popularity has moved against the rest of the catalog: its growth in downloads, likes and usage over each period, measured against the typical model's growth over the same period, with its heat score at the time. Above the typical growth reads as a rise, below it as a fall. The past is reconstructed from today's totals, the model's first day and its measured download speed where two readings exist; a model that did not exist at the start of a period shows n/a.
