    🔄 Updates

    12.07.26 - There are better Krea2 models on this site , i made this one for me . The format is INT8 ConvRot , based on TURBO , so CFG 1 , 8-11 steps , euler_a - bong tangent ( at 1024x1440 i get ~4s/it on a RTX3060 12GB , FP8 i get ~6.5s/it ) . It very much likes simple workflows ( all my images have them embedded) , for sampler and scheduler see workflow or image details .

    10.07.26 - V14 best settings in my opinion : Resolution 832x1216 , euler_a with Bong_Tangent , 11 steps , cfg 1 , clip skip -2 , simple workflow .

    07.06.26 - V8 is in lora form ( bastardlora2)

    06.06.26 - managed to get V7 to generate on site but it does not work , don't waste buzz with model , just use the LoRAs

    14.05.23 : Remade the 7th model , if you get black images with F16 model use the repaired BF16 model .

    02.05.26 : Remade the model, should work now

    01.05.26 https://pastebin.com/sKxCUSb6 script i used , replace base model , variants , weights , density and lambda with what you want . takes ~10 minutes on 32GB ram . If you encounter problems with the model please leave a comment or an image with prompt.

    22.04.26 : Model (5.5) still not showing in model page or my profile :)) after almost 24H , I sure picked the best time to upload lol . Works with lora , tested some character lora as well , i have no idea why some work and others are not working ... almost deleted this model with all other model tests.

    Works best with euler simple , CFG 1 and 9 steps . Try CFG 1.1 or max 1.5 with 9 to 11 max steps . Use a clip set last layer node and set it at -5 ;) .

    15.04.26 : Made an inbreed model , it manages better in my opinion . Still not NSFW enough :( no breasts, nipples or puss control . LoRAs not tested with it . leave a comment or a image even with errors to see what i can do about it .

    30.03.2026 : For fast conversion use this nice TOOL , made a Q8_0.gguf in " info: Completed in 29.14 seconds " .... yeah

    25.03.2026 : Managed to modify the convert.py script from city96 to make the model directly in Q8_GGUF . Gemini for the win .

    23.03.26 - Modified this nodes so it can accept negative weights and remade 3.5 with original ZIT for better layer stability ...i think . Merged with 2 random models from tensor hub for aesthetics , poses , clothes . I have no idea what it does better than v3.5 but i think it's different .

    Usage : same as before - euler with simple , CFG 1 with 9 steps (best working and less horror, original text encoder (it does everything you want as long the model knows it).

    Same as before i can't convert to GGUF , if someone knows and manages to do it he can post the GGUF model as his own (with a little mention of me :D ) ...

    (Sample images are 1152x1536 , euler simple, 9 steps , no aura flow , no clip-skip , no LoRA , first run...the first run is bad for me after comfyui 0.17 update so the 2nd run without changing the prompt is better)

    05.03.26 - File weights are broken because of lora / model merger node and can't convert to GGUF // stuck with this ...

    04.03.26 - V3.5

    • Sample images are 1024X1536 , 15 steps , CFG 1.5 ( on a RTX3060 12GB i get ~5-6s/it , Prompt executed in ~100 seconds - depends on how long the prompt is)

    • About this version

      >>>Remake of V3 with new custom nodes from capitan01R (leave a star for him and try the new lora loader it's awesome) + some more LoRAs<<<

    • Just like V3 most samplers/schedulers work and it has many changes from one to another , test them , mix them , some have body merging some don't , some work for fantasy some work for "erotic" stuff . Try them , try them with CFG >1 , try them with 10+ steps etc. Will update when i get more interesting LoRAs .

    • Sampler : Euler_A / Euler

    • Scheduler : sgm_uniform / simple

    • Steps : 8 - 15

    • CFG 1 - 1.5

    • No Aura Flow Shift (better text render and no skin correction or whatever that shift does ) ,

    • First generation with these settings is sometimes bad without a good prompt but the 2nd or 3rd without changing the prompt is good .

    • It should work with ZIB and some ZIT LoRAs at low strength (did not test) .

    Best settings for me V3:

    • Sampler : er_sde / Euler

    • Scheduler : Simple

    • Steps : 8-9

    • CFG 1 (sometimes 1.5)

    • No Aura Flow Shift (better text render and no skin correction or whatever that shift does ) ,

    • Added a CLIP set last layer node and i like to use -3 . Every change in clip skip is wild try from -1 to -10 (I'm too lazy to go past that) .

    • First generation with these settings is sometimes bad without a good prompt but the 2nd or 3rd without changing the prompt is good .

    26.02.2026 - changed file

    Z-Bastard V3

    • V3 = V2 (identical model).

    • One version was removed because merging and re-merging produced the same result.

    Recommended settings (ComfyUI):

    • Sampler: Euler , Euler_A , DDIM , res_multistep etc .

    • Scheduler: Simple , DDIM_uniform , SGM_Uniform , Beta etc.

    • Try Aura Flow Shift: 2.5–3 max

    • Also try without Aura Flow Shift — it behaves like a different model and the text is better.

    • I use different sampler and scheduler almost every time, just load the image you like in comfyUI to see and compare with others .

    • Higher Flow shift tends to make the skin more SDXL like .


    🧠 How to Use Z-Bastard V1

    • Use it like any Z-Image Turbo style model.

    • ZIB-based LoRAs work well.


    🧠 How to Use UnstableBastard Illustrious V1 and V2

    General Generation

    • Sampler: euler_A

    • CFG: 3–5

    • Steps: ~35

    • Test different samplers — results can vary nicely.


    🔍 High-Res Fix script (ComfyUI)

    Using Efficiency Nodes Highres-Fix Script:

    • Upscale: 1.25

    • Steps: 12

    • Iterations: 1–2 (2 is my favorite , refined from 768x1152 to 1200x1896 in ~120s with my 3060 12GB)

    • Denoise: 0.26-0.36


    👤 Face Detailer (ComfyUI – Impact Pack)

    Recommended settings:

    • Steps: 8

    • Denoise: 0.26-0.36

    • Lower chance of male faces becoming feminine

    • Works with upside-down faces

    • UltralyticsDetector Face model

    If using ComfyUI, just load one of my images (workflow is embedded) and run it.


    🎨 Realistic Images

    For realistic outputs from ill with v1 and v2 i use :

    • CyberRealistic / CyberIllustrious

    • Highres-Fix Script enabled with one of the checkpoints above

    You can use any checkpoint with this setup.


    🎭 Artist Prompt Examples

    You can improve style by adding artist tags like:

    (artist:wamudraws:1)
    (artist:slugbox:1)
    (artist:zankuro:1)
    (artist:mazjojo:1)
    (artist:kotteri:1)
    (artist:pigeon666:1)
    (artist:makoto-shinkai:1)
    (artist:zawar379:1)
    (artist:yoneyama mai:1)

    ⚠️ Weaknesses

    • Not great with complex backgrounds

    • Struggles with fine detail-heavy scenes


    🔗 LoRA Strength Guide

    • 1–2 LoRAs → 0.5–1.0 strength

    • Multiple LoRAs → 0.2–0.5 strength

    (Adjust as needed.)


    🧾 Prompts

    Positive Prompt (My Go-To)

    embedding:lazypos,
    (masterpiece, best quality, amazing quality, ultra-HD, high detail, very awa,
    newest, very aesthetic, ultra-detailed, absurdres, 8k)

    (Uses 1 embedding.)


    Negative Prompt

    embedding:lazyhand,
    embedding:lazyreal,
    Bad Quality, worst Quality, low Quality, photorealistic

    Note:

    • You can use embedding:lazyreal in the positive prompt if you want a more realistic feel.

    I'm unable to test out the latest "bastardella" model. keeps giving me black images tried it on different workflows.

    Interesting , i'll try downloading it from the site . What are you using ? i'm on latest comfyUI but i think that does not mater 🧐 later edit : i've downloaded it from the site and it works ... i can upload a Q8 gguf if you want to test it

    MrGhost_27May 1, 2026

    latest as well 0.20.1, I thought it was on my end but then I tried your other models and everything worked fine..

    @Ghostj27f i have no idea how it works on my end . I've deleted it and left the gguf .

    goodizerMay 9, 2026

    @Ghostj27f try delete sage attention, flash attention or launch comfy without them if you can

    MrGhost_27May 9, 2026

    @goodizer I don't use any of that. I'm re downloading again to test again.

    @Ghostj27f i remade the model since then , it should work now . The feedback from others that got the same problem told me that it works for them now

    MrGhost_27May 9, 2026

    @BastardOG  Thanks, I did re downloaded and its working great. doing some runs on it as we speak ;)

    Same problem as @Ghostj27f , All generations are only black panels, even with your own workflow.

    Same here only black image, I dunno why EDIT: GUFF version work fine

    @bunnyhuntercycy188 oh bloody hell , i'll delete the file . I'll leave the gguf

    @BastardOG I think this is a probleme with compatibility with loader node

    work only with KJloader for me EDIT: I continue testing with different workflow

    @LetontonGeek not even the gguf is working for you ? you could try 5 or 5.5 they , this test was made of them with some few improvements

    LetontonGeekMay 1, 2026

    @BastardOG I just tested the 5.5 version and it works perfectly.

    @LetontonGeek too bad that version did not work for you , i'll upload a v6 once i'm satisfied with the results .

    LetontonGeekMay 2, 2026

    @BastardOG Okay. I'll try it whand it's out. Do you think I can use gguf models on a laptotp with 4Gb vram ?

    @LetontonGeek this Q8 i think not , maybe a Q3_K_S version , i'll see tomorrow how to make it and upload it . Anything i do under Q8 the quality is bad . You can try to convert them yourself , on the model page i put a link to a tool for converting models , it has a GUI and is very fast

    ferretduckMay 2, 2026

    @BastardOG for what it's worth, i've run your newly uploaded v5.5 and the BastarDella test (safetensors) and they both worked fine for me! added some images

    @ferretduck remade the bastardella model with the help of gemini scripts , it told me some things : "Specifically, Layer 8 is the culprit for your black images. You have 3,840 NaNs (Not-a-Number) in the attention.qkv.weight. In a transformer, the QKV (Query, Key, Value) layer is like the model's eyes—if those weights are NaNs, the model is effectively blind, and every calculation after that point becomes "Not-a-Number," resulting in that solid black output." so i took the layer from the original z-image turbo and patched it ... i hope it works like the rest

    ferretduckMay 2, 2026

    @BastardOG wow that is crazy haha, i wonder what you did to kill that layer! glad you got it fixed

    i'm glad you like it :D i think it follows the prompt better than the rest but if the prompt has something that the model doesn't know it will give some bad images

    Probably the most prompt-adherent ZIT model I've used so far.

    Thanks ! What models have you tested ? did you test other text encoders ?

    55986May 8, 2026· 2 reactions

    @BastardOG The list would be over a dozen long, but you can assume it includes every popular photoreal checkpoint available in under 8gb on civit. For text encoders, I've ran through seven or so versions of Qwen and settled on Qwen3-4b-Z-Image-Engineer-V4-Q8_0

    Checkpoint
    ZImageTurbo
