Here's a really nice Illustrious finetune. I've been tinkering with it for a while and I think it may be worth a post. It's illustration vibe with realistic refinement that still does illustrious things.
Recommended settings:
sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE or Euler
I rather like the first one.
CFG scale: 3 for balanced image, 5 for more contrast
steps: about 30
It's Illustrious, so use a bunch of quality tags upfront for the betterment of the output. And keep in mind that score_x doesn't do anything.
No loras of embeddings were used for showcase images.
