## ⚙️ Recommended Settings

| Parameter | Value | Note |

|-----------|-------|------|

| Base Model | Illustrious-XL v0.1 | Required — not tested on other XL variants |

| Resolution | 1024x1024 | SDXL native resolution; other official sizes supported |

| Sampler | DPM++ 2M Karras | Best for detail fidelity & sharp linework |

| Sampler | Euler a | Preferred for softer, more aesthetic/painterly results |

| CFG Scale | 6.5 ~ 7.5 | >8 may overfit; <6 weakens style influence |

| Steps | 25 ~ 30 | Balanced quality & inference speed |

| LoRA Weight | 0.8 ~ 1.0 | Full strength recommended for pure style transfer |

## 💡 Pro Tips

- 🔍 More Details: Use DPM++ 2M Karras + CFG 7.0 for crisp linework and fine features

- 🎨 More Aesthetic: Try Euler a + slightly lower CFG (6.5) for dreamy, artistic vibes

- 🧩 ControlNet Ready: Compatible with lineart/depth ControlNets for pose/structure control (no specific preset required)

- 🌐 English Only: Optimized for English prompts; other languages may reduce style consistency

- 📐 Resolution Matters: Stick to 1024x1024 or SDXL-native aspect ratios to avoid distortion

## ⚠️ Limitations & Usage Notes

- Trained on 20 Danbooru-sourced images with auto-generated tags (JoyCaption); manual curation minimal

- Hands, text, and complex structures may require post-processing or ControlNet assistance

- Avoid mixing with conflicting keywords: photorealistic, 3d render, oil painting, ugly, bad

- Best for single-character illustrations; multi-character or complex scenes may have limited generalization

- 🔒 Personal Research Use Only — Commercial use, artist impersonation, or sensitive content generation is strictly prohibited

## 🔄 Future Plans

Potential updates may include:

- Compatibility with other Illustrious-XL variants

- Pony diffusion model support

- Expanded dataset for improved multi-scene generalization
