About this version

It's the first Illustrious version. It's obviously more focused in illustrations and cartoons and while it's less photorealistic than its counterpart, EHxl 5.0, it produces very interesting aesthetics with a lot of drama or extra flavour. See the gallery. All in all, I think It's a very interesting alternative to the XL version. The more choices the better.
