Art of Realism from HaDeS v1.0

Art-first realism, obedient SDXL control.

Art of Realism from HaDeS v1.0 is a refined branch of Realism from HaDeS focused on expressive style while retaining the option for clean photorealism. Built on SDXL, it’s highly obedient to prompts and flexible enough to move from gallery-grade artistic looks to lifelike portraits—without losing fidelity, texture, or dynamic lighting.

Why this model

• Style-forward realism: Prioritizes artistic aesthetics (painterly, editorial, cinematic) while still delivering convincing photorealism on demand.

• Good prompt adherence: Responds cleanly to concise or descriptive prompts, keeping composition and mood consistent.

• Wide creative latitude: Broad CFG range 1–18 for nuanced control—from subtle guidance to bold, stylized direction.

• Fast, clean sampling: Works well with many samplers; excels with Euler / Euler a ~30 steps for balanced quality and speed. DPM++ 2M SDE Karras reaches top-tier quality in ~20 steps or less.

Recommended setup

• Base resolutions: 832×1216 or 896×1152 (great detail and stable composition).

• Samplers:

  • Euler / Euler a (~30 steps): versatile, crisp detail, reliable tone.

  • DPM++ 2M SDE Karras (~20 steps or less): maximum clarity and polish fast.

• CFG: Start at 6–9 for natural results; push 10–14 for bolder style; 1–5 for subtle, photoreal guidance; up to 18 for experimental looks.

What it’s great at

• Editorial portraits, fashion, cinematic key art

• Painterly and mixed-media aesthetics with realistic grounding

• Product and environment shots that need style without losing believability

Art of Realism from HaDeS v1.0 is designed for creators who want the freedom to move between worlds—from artful expression to true-to-life realism—with the same reliable, obedient SDXL backbone.
