    CyberIllustrious Semi-Realistic bridges the painterly elegance of Illustrious with the crisp, lifelike look of CyberRealistic.
    Think: clean realism with a soft artistic touch - strong anatomy, polished skin and fabric detail, cinematic light, and smooth tag understanding for Illustrious-style prompts.

    If you liked CyberIllustrious and CyberIllustrious Catalyst, this version goes further: clearer tag comprehension, steadier faces, better skin/detail handling, and more consistent semi-realistic renders - especially when paired with my Danbooru Prompt Crafter GPT.


    What it’s great at

    • Semi-realistic portraits & fashion/editorial (soft glam → polished photoreal)

    • Character work that keeps a natural look while honoring Illustrious tag style

    • Cinematic lighting & moody color without over-baking effects

    • Cleaner hands, eyes, and hair with fewer artifacts at low CFG


    • Sampler: DPM++ SDE Karras / DPM++ 2M Karras / Euler a

    • Steps: 30–40

    • CFG: 4–5

    • Resolution: 896×1152 or 832×1216 (portrait-leaning works best)

    • VAE: Baked-in

    Optional (face refiners):

    • ADetailer face_yolov9c.pt

      • If you only want the main face refined, set “Mask only the top k largest” to 1.


    Danbooru Prompt Crafter (GPT)

    I’ve updated the Danbooru Prompt Crafter with a larger Danbooru tag list for more accurate, detailed prompts.
    It’s built to write, clean, and optimize prompts for models that use Danbooru-style tags.

    Try it here


    What it does

    • Converts descriptions to Danbooru tags: paste a natural sentence, messy tag list, or even an image → get a clean, copy-ready prompt.

    • Cleans up messy prompts: reorders tags, removes duplicates, and replaces vague terms with precise, valid Danbooru tags.

    • Multiple modes:

      • Strict Mode → accurate, clean Danbooru tagging.

      • Creative Mode (default) → adds aesthetic polish for more visually appealing results.

    • Output types:

      • Realism (default) → for photorealistic images.

      • Anime/Art → for stylized or illustrated outputs.

    • Tag validation & correction: fixes misspelled/invalid tags automatically.

    • Flexible formatting: choose commas, underscores, or spaces.

    • Understands images: upload an image; it analyzes character, pose, fashion, background, and lighting to generate a Danbooru-style prompt.


    Notes & Etiquette

    • This model can generate mature content. Use responsibly and follow platform rules.

    • No explicit deepfakes of real people. Don’t be that person. 🙃

    CyberIllustrious - Play V2.0
    Why “Play”? Because it’s simply a joy to work with: a strong, high-quality checkpoint with consistently excellent results.

    Play V2.0 is a clear step away from Semi-Realistic V1.5, which you can see in the example images. It’s not a successor to V1.5, but a genuinely different model with its own look and behavior.

    I just have to leave another comment about how wonderfully friendly and accommodating this model is towards lora combinations and stylization. Some of the most beautiful and uniquely styled semi-realistic images I've ever made originate from this model.
