3. Download the Workflow
Download kiko-Illustrious-v4.2.json and load it into ComfyUI.
Usage
Basic Setup
Load the workflow in ComfyUI
Set your model: Choose an Illustrious or SDXL checkpoint
Configure dimensions: Use the width/height controls for your desired output size
Add your prompt: Enter positive and negative prompts
Adjust LoRAs: Use Power LoRA Loader to add any LoRAs (optional)
GLLM-powered prompt assistanceenerate: Queue the prompt and generate your image
Advanced Features
Face Enhancement: The FaceDetailer node will automatically enhance faces in generated images. Adjust the detection threshold and enhancement strength as needed.
HiresFix: Enable the easy hiresFix node for high-resolution output with improved detail preservation.
2D Controls: Use mxSlider2D for intuitive parameter adjustment of multi-dimensional settings.
Model Compatibility
Recommended Models
Illustrious Models:
Illustrious-v0.1
Any Illustrious fine-tunes and merges
SDXL Models:
SDXL-base-1.0
Popular SDXL fine-tunes (Juggernaut, RealVis, etc.)
LoRA Support
The workflow supports standard LoRAs compatible with your chosen base model. Use the Power LoRA Loader for easy management and stacking of multiple LoRAs.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Missing Nodes Error: Ensure all custom nodes are properly installed and ComfyUI has been restarted.
Model Loading Issues: Verify your model files are in the correct ComfyUI models directory and are compatible with the selected model type.
Face Detection Not Working: Check that the SAM model files are downloaded and the detection threshold is appropriate for your image content.
Memory Issues: Reduce batch size or image dimensions if you encounter VRAM limitations.
Performance Tips
Use lower resolution for testing, then enable hiresFix for final output
Adjust face detection sensitivity based on your content
Consider disabling face enhancement for non-portrait images to save processing time
