NeoLustre XL

If you appreciate my work and want to see more updates and models from me in the future, please like, follow, share the art you create with my models, and tip me some Buzz, your support is what motivates me to continue this work, thank you.

I've been messing around with making merges using Illustrious v2.0 stable as the base and this has been my best result so far, it's a lot of fun playing with this model, and I hope you all love her as much as I do, it's capable of some amazing images, though it may take some patience and work to get the prompts just right. This mix consists of Illustrious v2.0, Nova XL Illustrious, Alchemist Mix Illustrious Realism v1, and Pornmaster Pro Noob v2

it works particularly well with artist styles and booru tags, it does handle natural language prompting as well, but I find it can be hit or miss there, when using natural language prompting I find it helps to revise and emphasize, for instance if you have something like "A knight fights a massive dragon" and the dragon isn't showing up, try emphasizing dragon like so, ((Dragon)), or add weight to it Dragon:1.6

For positive and negative prompts you can use the standard illustrious positive and negative, but keep in mind Illustrious 2.0 has not undergone aesthetic training so it will help to add more aesthetic prompts than you typically would, if you're going for more realism this is the positive and negative I've been working with so far:

Positive: RAW:1.4, ultrarealistic:1.4, masterpiece:1.4, (Your prompt here) , best quality, amazing quality, very aesthetic:1.6, absurdres, 8K, newest, focused subject, depth of field, shallow depth of field, dramatic cinematic lighting, moody shadows, low-key lighting, DSLR, realistic, very awa, cosplay photo, year 2024, highres:1, skin texture, facial features, photography shot with Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, skin details, cinematic film still, sharp focus, intricate details, highly detailed, hyperrealistic art, vignette, high budget, bokeh, cinemascope, moody, epic, gorgeous, film grain, grainy

Negative: bad quality, worst quality, low quality, poor quality, worst detail, lowres, blurry, out of focus, pixelated, jpeg artifacts, scan artifacts, lossy, ugly, boring, plain, censored, watermark, logo, signature, artist name, sketch, cartoon, drawing, anime, illustration, fake, phony, artificial, CGI, 3D, 3D render, digital model, simplistic, disfigured, deformed, mutation, mutated hands, extra limbs, extra fingers, extra hand, extra arm, extra leg, merged fingers, fused fingers, fused limbs, merged body parts, deformed hand, deformed finger, imperfect hand, mutilated, deformity, bad anatomy, poorly drawn face, poorly drawn eyes, mutated face, ugly face, disfigured face, deformed face, deformed eyes, out-of-frame, animated

yes these are some hefty prompts, I basically took the positives and negatives from all the models used in this merge and put them all together, but you're welcome to play around with it and tweak it to your liking.

896x1152 (should support 512~1536 resolutions.)
CFG: 5-8
Euler A or DPM++ 2M Karas
Steps: 30-60
Adetailer recommended for faces at a distance, if faces are still wonky after Adetailer, use the 2nd face detailer as well.

Safety Guidelines (copy pasted from Illustrious v2.0 description)

The model can be controlled by optional “rating” levels, described as explicit / questionable / sensitive / general

The alternative tokens, such as “adult content”, “r-18”, “nsfw”, “explicit material”, “sfw”, “safe for work” works for moderation.

I look forward to seeing what you all can create with this model, and as always, please create responsibly.
