illustraVERSA

My goal was to achieve a checkpoint that could achieve Comic COVER quality images. Keeping that hand drawn, inked, than digitally colored type of aesthetic, straight from the box without the need of extra loras. After mixing various checkpoints and injecting loras, I am finally satisfied with the outcome.
