HOMOSimile Illustrious ver. [v2.0]
About
Personally I still prefer the default style of the Pony version but the prompt adherence and style flexibility of the Illustrious XL is just too good to pass up. Prompting and tagging is also a lot easier than the pony version from what I've tested. I tried to replicate the look of the Pony version but there's just too much artist styles for me to do anything without messing with the overall quality, oh well..

Tips for artist styles / characters
Illustrious is a fine-tuned model trained on Danbooru datasets, so there are a lot of data on various artist's styles and characters. So you can prompt a specific style or characters without the need of loras as long as they have substantial amount of dataset on Danbooru and are not too recent. See sample images for examples on how to prompt styles..
