Tips

Use ADetailer for further distance to improve detail.

Include quality and photography setting descriptions in prompts to create realistic images.

Prompt structure suggestion: Subject description, light and shadow description, angle/perspective/motion, then quality and detail description including camera settings.

For V2 use Clip skip 2, Euler a sampler, 30 steps and CFG 5-7; for V1 clip skip 1 and CFG 7.

Including the 'RealisticIL' Lora model adds more realism.

Version Highlights

For V4 I used my own merges and loras.

Hey guys, ☺

I wanna present to u ~ ILustREAL ~ my first merge for Illustrious close to realism.

about v5

v5 blends the authenticity of realism with the magic of fantasy, creating vivid, immersive characters that feel both lifelike and otherworldly. With rich textures, dynamic lighting, and expressive details, it brings a cinematic depth to fantasy art ~ where reality meets myth. Let ur imagination guide u in discovering ur own balance between fantasy and realism.

about v2

still not 100 percent real but getting closer♥

I would recommend using ADetailer for further distance and prompts including quality and photography setting descriptions if u want to create realistic images. By scipping this the merge will be in between semirealism and realism. ^^

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

an example could build like this

  1. [ur vision - what should be shown in the image?].

  2. looking at viewer, detailed eyes, eyelashes.

  3. example for portraits:

    A professional, high-quality, hyper-realistic portrait of a woman. The image features ultra-detailed eyes, realistic skin texture, intricate facial features, and cinematic lighting. Shot in low light with a Nikon Z7 II and a NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 lens, showcasing shallow depth of field (bokeh) and RAW photography quality. Masterpiece-level, sharp and photorealistic, fine art photography style.

    example for upper body:

    A professional, high-quality, hyper-realistic hip-shot of a woman. The image features ultra-detailed eyes, realistic skin texture, intricate facial features, and cinematic lighting. Shot in low light with a Nikon Z7 II and a NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.4 lens. Masterpiece-level, sharp and photorealistic, fine art photography style.

  4. LORAS, and so on

Alternatively prompt structure:

subject description- who or what can be seen? (what does (s)he/it look like? hair, eyes, clothing, description of the scene/ where? action?),

then light and shadow description,

which angle, perspective, motion?

finally quality and detail description, camera setting.

This are just examples of setting descriptions close to my showcase images.

For the showcase I have used

  • Clip skip 1 (V1), Clip skip 2 (V2)

  • Euler a,

  • 30 steps,

  • CFG 7 (V1), CFG 5-7 (V2)

  • hires x 1,5 with hires denoising 0,1 and 20 hires steps.

I can only recommend RealisticIL ~ a new Lora for a touch of realism made by @Jedas https://civitai.com/models/1129306

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

a small comparison between V1 and V2:

without "realistic" both merges will be more semireal based ^^ and would look more like the following picture:

⬆️ masterpiece, best quality, 1girl, face, portrait, looking at viewer, closed mouth,

worst quality, bad quality,

⬇️ same prompt including "realistic" would look like this:

⬇️ inclusive RealisticIL Lora https://civitai.com/models/1129306?modelVersionId=1269465

Realistic, masterpiece, best quality, 1girl, face, portrait, looking at viewer, closed mouth, <lora:RealisticIL-000001:1>

worst quality, bad quality,

⬆️ Masterpiece-level, sharp and photorealistic, fine art photography style, 1girl, face, portrait, looking at viewer, closed mouth,

close up, primary colors, ambient background, abstract background, golden hour glow, very dynamic, epic, emotional, rosebrown hair, long hair, hair fall into face, emo bangs,very long to one side parted bangs, pearl necklace, neckline, over the shoulder view, looking at viewer

worst quality, bad quality,

⬆️ masterpiece-level, best quality, sharp and photorealistic, fine art photography style. close up, 1girl, face, portrait, looking at viewer, brown eyes, freckles, high cheekbones, gingerbrown hair, hime cut, long hair, flirtyly, expressive makeup, glossy lips, beautful face

worst quality, bad quality,

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hopefully it gives a little impression of the differences ☺

I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur results. ♥
