Illustrious generally prefers lower CFG scales and Danbooru-style tagging. Base Model: Illustrious XL 2.0 (or its direct fine-tunes/merges) LoRA Weight: 0.65 to 0.85 (Start at 0.75. Lowering the weight slightly prevents deep-frying and allows the base model to handle poses better). Steps: 28 to 35 CFG Scale: 5.0 to 7.0 (Illustrious XL responds beautifully to lower CFG; avoid going above 8.0). Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras, Euler a, or AlignYourSteps Resolution: 1024x1024 (Standard SDXL). For portraits, try 832x1216. For cinematic/wide shots, try 1216x832.
