@aramintastudio Yeah. :) I think Gv4 is at a point, where it's sort of at a perfect spot as is, since it's a good combination of aesthetics and realism. :) With Fv5 can probably do still a bit experimenting, even though it's like 95% perfection. :D

Fun fact, i did some funny idea of photorealistic fantasy creatures/aliens/mythical monsters in everyday situations, like a zombie washing the dishes in a Scandinavian apartment etc just for example of one scenario lol, so i used many different Loras, like with zombies, monsters, aliens, like Na'Vi from Avatar movie etc.. so i tested about 10 different checkpoints, since used like 2-3 Loras at same time for maximum realistic results, and in your Fv5 actually handled that with best looking results, all were skin effect Loras with eye, hair and other details that can think for fantasy creatures. So Fv5 was actually best in that.

Fv5 in general has STUNNINGLY good skin and eye details (top3 tier thing you have baked), if makes 4K images and uses the SmartSharpen thingy node in right settings, the results are insanely good even without a single Lora for normal human characters, but with Loras it was amazing how well it meshed out for fantasy creatures and results looked like actual fantasy creature eyes and skins, like super organic with tactile detailing. Actually impressingly good checkpoint. The eyes, you know especially the irises stroma details, could zoom in and they look so real, like miniature galaxies with unique patterns like in real human eyes irl (or in this prompt simulation we are living in :P).

So yeah, once learns how to prompt both Gv4 and Fv5 to own desired results, they are both amazing. Gv4 for slightly more artistic/aesthetics direction and Fv5 for pure realism. "Hidden gems" type of things, if i am honest, these should literally be in the top3 most downloaded checkpoints here in Civitai, up there with the big names. ^^ So keep it up!

Was trying to think if there is anything to improve on for future checkpoints, only could think of one, sometimes when makes petite emo/goth characters, their lower body, especially from side or behind angle in cinematic shots can look a bit on the voluptuous side, when obviously tries to go full petite & skinny look for artistic reasons, so then has to fight that happening with prompt gimmicks and changing angles, might be my personal skill issue tho.. :D So it can look like 2 different persons body mixed in one, but just from certain angles. Nothing wrong with big booties tho. :P Just that gotta match petite upper body with petite lower body. Think that happens with many checkpoints in general tho, some perspectives makes them have distorted details, that are hard to correct with prompting. It affects clothing also, i like making clothed SFW images, like gothic/emo clothing etc, it's like trying on cute clothes, without having me to physically do it myself lol. So i guess that is only thing i can think of, and even that is not your checkpoints original sin, think it's something in most of them or in SDXL in general, the perspective distortion in some angles.

Enough rant, sorry. :D But if you can fix that small issue and improve upon Fv5 for that added realism of body shape staying consistent in all angles, your checkpoint would be legit best one there is. Gv4 is kind of at the top of it's game already probably, cannot improve perfection.. i guess? :P

@aramintastudio Hih thanks! ^^

And yeah, i'd even take a really well done Lora for petite body types if some creator makes one, but would be cool if there would be a checkpoint or two that would have such baked in naturally. I mean.. you know how many checkpoints and Loras go the exact other way, of bringing SUPER voluptuous and huge breasts and big wide hips and all that.. nothing wrong with that, i like making images and subjects of all shapes and sizes, but i feel easier to often make "giga babes" with big butts and massive breasts, than petite-framed ones. I like when easy to use full variety of choices. Human body is beautiful in all shapes, sizes and forms. ^^

As a special note, i REALLY like your checkpoints anatomy and aesthetics flexibility. Also, that it can give very surprising (in a good way) results if leaves some things open in the prompt. So gets many different kinds of people and body types with same prompt, what makes things interesting for us who tried many checkpoints, some other checkpoints have way more repeating feeling in results. I like when gets some total surprise details in the same scenario with each seed change. And your checkpoints have way more natural breasts etc than most (you know, many have quite "Playboy silicone boobs" types, again, not saying it's wrong to those who enjoy them hih, but nice to have all options open for any type of looks, and how they react with clothes, like tops/camisoles etc. So more artistic feel and interesting images are often possible with your checkpoints.

So your checkpoint is for the true culinarists of aesthetics and appreciators of human body. ^^

And yeah, i understand and seen, SDXL been pushed quite close to it's limits, some checkpoints every now and then add nice finetuning still to certain areas, but yeah.. often now Loras make bigger difference to pin-pointed image ideas when combines to your favorite current best checkpoints. Hih again i ended up ranting, was just supposed to answer quick lol. Anyways, have a great summer weekend and thanks again for your amazing checkpoints. 💜
