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.
