v5 blends the authenticity of realism with the magic of fantasy, creating vivid, immersive characters that feel both lifelike and otherworldly. With rich textures, dynamic lighting, and expressive details, it brings a cinematic depth to fantasy art ~ where reality meets myth.

about v4
Hey guys, ☺
as the saying goes, opposites attract? V4 is an experiment to implement more realism and also more imaginative elements.
Its still not 100 percent realistic but please let me know if u like the new direction. I stay curious about ur results. ♥

about v2
still not 100 percent real but getting closer♥
I would recommend using ADetailer for further distance and prompts including quality and photography setting descriptions if u want to create realistic images. By scipping this the merge will be in between semirealism and realism. ^^
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
an example could build like this
[ur vision - what should be shown in the image?].
looking at viewer, detailed eyes, eyelashes.
example for portraits:
A professional, high-quality, hyper-realistic portrait of a woman. The image features ultra-detailed eyes, realistic skin texture, intricate facial features, and cinematic lighting. Shot in low light with a Nikon Z7 II and a NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 lens, showcasing shallow depth of field (bokeh) and RAW photography quality. Masterpiece-level, sharp and photorealistic, fine art photography style.
example for upper body:
A professional, high-quality, hyper-realistic hip-shot of a woman. The image features ultra-detailed eyes, realistic skin texture, intricate facial features, and cinematic lighting. Shot in low light with a Nikon Z7 II and a NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.4 lens. Masterpiece-level, sharp and photorealistic, fine art photography style.
LORAS, and so on
Alternatively prompt structure:
subject description- who or what can be seen? (what does (s)he/it look like? hair, eyes, clothing, description of the scene/ where? action?),
then light and shadow description,
which angle, perspective, motion?
finally quality and detail description, camera setting.
This are just examples of setting descriptions close to my showcase images.
For the showcase I have used
Clip skip 1 (V1), Clip skip 2 (V2)
Euler a,
30 steps,
CFG 7 (V1), CFG 5-7 (V2)
hires x 1,5 with hires denoising 0,1 and 20 hires steps.
I can only recommend RealisticIL ~ a new Lora for a touch of realism made by @Jedas https://civarchive.com/models/1129306
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
a small comparison between V1 and V2:
without "realistic" both merges will be more semireal based ^^ and would look more like the following picture:
⬆️ masterpiece, best quality, 1girl, face, portrait, looking at viewer, closed mouth,
worst quality, bad quality,
⬇️ same prompt including "realistic" would look like this:
⬇️ inclusive RealisticIL Lora https://civarchive.com/models/1129306?modelVersionId=1269465
Realistic, masterpiece, best quality, 1girl, face, portrait, looking at viewer, closed mouth, <lora:RealisticIL-000001:1>
worst quality, bad quality,
⬆️ Masterpiece-level, sharp and photorealistic, fine art photography style, 1girl, face, portrait, looking at viewer, closed mouth,
close up, primary colors, ambient background, abstract background, golden hour glow, very dynamic, epic, emotional, rosebrown hair, long hair, hair fall into face, emo bangs,very long to one side parted bangs, pearl necklace, neckline, over the shoulder view, looking at viewer
worst quality, bad quality,
⬆️ masterpiece-level, best quality, sharp and photorealistic, fine art photography style. close up, 1girl, face, portrait, looking at viewer, brown eyes, freckles, high cheekbones, gingerbrown hair, hime cut, long hair, flirtyly, expressive makeup, glossy lips, beautful face
worst quality, bad quality,

Hopefully it gives a little impression of the differences ☺
I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur results. ♥

FAQ

Nice model!!!But the face output often like waxwork,any method or prompt can improve it?thanks!
tyvm. In the model description I gave some examples of prompt to create a realistic face :)
@reijlita Ya, I just follow the example description to give prompt,but no matter I adjust, it`s at most 25% waxwork+ 75% realistic face
@zczcg hm, that's weird.:/ did you use clip skip 1 and euler a? or did you use a VAE or loras?I would like to help you, but I don't know why
@reijlita I use clip skip 2,and euler a and both vae baked and vae.this is my prompt,"A professional, high-quality, hyper-realistic portrait of a girl. The image features ultra-detailed eyes, realistic skin texture, intricate facial features, and cinematic lighting. Shot in low light with a Nikon Z7 II and a NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 lens, showcasing shallow depth of field (bokeh) and RAW photography quality. Masterpiece-level, sharp and photorealistic, fine art photography style,1girl,pale face,pale skin,long hair,cinematic angle,sun light,bedroom,big window,solo,blush,casual,looking at viewer,full shot"
@zczcg I did a bit of testing with ur prompt. It's probably because of "pale skin, pale face" and clip skip 2. In this case, clip skip 2 is always a touch towards semi-realism, so for ILustREAL I only use clip skip 1 ^^. (and very important, don't use an extra VAE, there is one included in the model).
Alternatively, it might help to restructure the prompt structure:
subject description- who or what can be seen? (what does she/it look like? hair, eyes, clothing, description of the scene/ where? what is she doing?),
then light and shadow description,
which angle, perspective, motion?
finally quality and detail description, camera setting.
I'll post a few example images under the model. if you want to show an indoor image in full shot, the setting can be changed from 50mm to 35mm if you want to include more of the surroundings in the frame.
I hope there's something there that could help u :)
@reijlita Thanks for replying!,I will try again! And hope can give good result. anticipate your example image!
@zczcg gladly :) I hope it works. IL is surprisingly close to the prompt, sometimes one word can change the whole picture. I'm still practicing ^^
@reijlita I have tried again, and I find if set clip layer=1,output will give only noise and have no image.The same I skip the pale skin pale face prompt,it also give the 25% waxwork+ 75% realistic face
