phenidone is an early work in progress photorealistic Illustrious checkpoint.
Compared to anime Illustrious checkpoints, you should expect it to:
Handle high resolutions worse
Have worse consistency relating to composition and anatomy
Compared to photorealistic Pony checkpoints, you should expect it to:
Have worse skin-texture
Have worse background and scene coherence and detail
But in general, you can look forward to a breath of fresh air; and hopefully you can have fun experimenting with it.
Settings I use:
832x1216 and 1024x1496, 30 Steps, Euler A, 5 - 12 cfg
I recommend trying varying cfg based on what results you're after; here are examples of 5, 7, and 12 cfg.
