V2: Not sure how satisfied I am with it, hence the "alpha", anatomy seems worse and more hit or miss, I got it to look better but it wouldn't work with Loras as well and changed the style to an even more generic slop style.

my base prompts, feel free to just use your own and it should work.

Pos: masterpiece, best quality, newest

neg: lowres, worst quality, low quality, bad anatomy, bad proportions, ai-generated, old, oldest, simple background (add monochrome and greyscale to get more vibrancy)

dimensions I usually use: 1536x1536, 1280x1280, 1846x1280, 1280x1846

Cfg: 4-6

IllustriousV0.1 and Noob loras seem to work from my testing

V1:

Images were made using swarmui (only V1)
Illustrious-V1.0 merged with an unreleased Noob1.1 (eps) model of mine. (on the tensor page it states merges can be shared)

I've found that 1280x1280 is the best all-round resolution (if you want to go above 1024), 1536 works but depending on the prompt it might have a hard time focusing on the subject. 1024 and all the other resolutions work. Images after more testing and others using the model we've found that genning below 1536. unless doing 5:9/9:5 (I think 1216 x 1824 or vice versa) looks much worse, especially with loras.

LORA Training info ( do not train on this, train on base illustrious 1.0)

On the note of loras TRAIN THEM ON 1536 THEY TURN OUT MUCH BETTER THAN TRAINING ON 1024, ALSO RAISE EPOCHS OR USE A HIGHER LERNING RATE (we mainly use 1 repeat, so 20-25 epochs on illustriousV1.0 for characters (unless you raise learning rate instead, in that case lower epochs, 5-10 I believe are the goal, though I myself choose the higher epochs. The comparsons look more or less the same so it's preference) and styles seem to work fine at the normal epoch counts 15-50

Natural language does work and can be used in conjunction with tags.

I use euler A and Align Your Steps and my prompts are the same as other models, so your usual positive and negative should work fine.

works with noob1.1 and illustrious0.1loras

it has a tendency to generate greyscale or monochrome images if at least 1 color isn't prompted, even if said tags are in the negative

Positive: masterpiece, best quality, (optional: very aesthetict newest,)

neg: lowres, worst quality, low quality, bad anatomy, bad proportions, fused fingers, missing fingers, watermark, username, simple background, censored, unclear eyes, blurry eyes, ai-generated, lowres, jpeg artifacts, white background, old, oldest,
