HuslyoRealism XL [SDXL]
After tons of experimenting, merging, and testing, I am releasing my first full custom checkpoint:
HuslyoRealism XL: Photography-first realism checkpoint for SDXL, tuned for natural light, soft skin, and NSFW realism.
Enjoying the model? A green thumbs-up helps big time!
This is a photography-first model capable of both SFW and NSFW content, with a strong NSFW focus for people. I created 12 different versions of HuslyoRealism during development, generating over 2800 images per version to test stability and consistency. This release is the most balanced so far, though still experimental.

📝 Model Notes
Great for both SFW and NSFW images, but also highly capable of scenery (landscape or portrait).
Mixed with my Touch of Realism LoRA and other LoRAs in this series, meaning you do not need to load those extra LoRAs (though you can use them to amplify effects).
Focus on smooth skin tones, natural lighting, and photography compositions.
Responds very well to film grain, grainy texture, photo of… prompts, and excels in macro photography-style close-ups.
Expect slightly softer faces compared to some other SDXL models, but with enhanced realism.
I will continue developing new versions. If this one does not meet your goals, I highly recommend switching to Analog Madness XL3 (my favorite general-use model) or Lustify (NSFW peak performer).
🔤 Prompt Suggestions & Keywords that Work Well
This model responds especially well to the following prompt fragments and styles. Combine them for best results:
• foreground blur, soft foreground, realistic depth falloff, cinematic shallow DOF, lens softness, bokeh in the distance
• natural light from the side, sunlight through the window, catching the sunlight, sun-kissed skin, golden hour light, dusty sunlight
• soft focus edges, ISO noise effect, grainy texture, realistic grain, soft skin texture with visible grain
• retro selfie style, analog photo look, vintage photo vibe, nostalgic atmosphere, faded look, vintage lighting, retro color grading
• natural textures, clay and wood tones, sunlit minimalist room, photorealistic beige mood, earthy palette, neutral styling, beige interior, Scandinavian light, calm aesthetic
• Works well with photo of [subject], macro shot of, close-up portrait of, and similar photography-based phrasing
Feel free to remix or combine them. The model was designed to reward photographic phrasing and natural-light descriptions.

Very good checkpoint ! Fun to use and experiment with.
Thanks so much! And big thanks to you as well for the awesome images you've already made with this checkpoint, really cool stuff.
Awesome model and thanks for the detailed examples, etc. Very helpful.
Thanks! I always try to include plenty of examples in my LoRAs and this checkpoint, glad you found it helpful
I love how fast and smooth this checkpoint creates images you can just post as is. And its really fun to toy with the prompts.
Excited to use your first model release!
Question though, as you've mentioned the 'Touch of Realism V2' lora has already been included, does this mean one no longer needs to add it seperate or would still help?
Thanks.
I included Touch of Realism in the merge at a low strength, so it's already contributing a bit in this V1 checkpoint. But yes, adding the LoRA separately can still enhance the realism even further, especially in a subtle way. So feel free to experiment with it!
Huslyo123 will do. And after some test runs, you're right on the face needing some work. awaiting V2!
Hope this checkpoint, release on TA :)
I think a few more versions will follow before I release it on TA. This one is mainly optimized for ComfyUI, A1111, Forge etc, where face detailers like ADetailer work well.
Huslyo123 Totally worth the wait! Amazing model, keep doing your magic—I’m loving it already
top model merci ;)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it!
Simply Perfect!!!
was BigAsp used in this merge?
Nope
At the beginning of April, I had no idea about Stable Diffusion or local AI image generation in general. Then I started with comfy and was completely overwhelmed. I learned the basics with Forge. I trained LoRA, Adetailer, upscaler. And now, thanks to Huslyo's workflow, I'm back to comfy. Thanks to Forge, I know what everything in comfy means. Now for the next step, ControlNet.
nice one
Can someone recommend a workflow to create Images and Videos with this please.
How do I make these small videos with this? do you have a guide?
No public guide at the moment. But for SFW vids, you can use Kling. If you have access to a good PC with great GPU, try a default Wan2.2 video workflow, or use Runpod.
@Huslyo123 I think he means, if you are supposed to render out a text2image first, then send that to a image2video.
Tremendous model!!!
This model is epic. The image quality is deliciously realistic. I'm using it to generate regularization images for a private LoRA I'm making for Chroma, and it does a fantastic job. I can't wait to see what the v2 is like!
This works flawlessly in A1111, but when I try it with ComfyUI, it makes the same image but with little spots like an old magnetized tv. Anybody have any suggestions how to fix?
that usually means you're missing VAE
This is one of the best if not the best models around. Well done!
Thank you! I hope you like V2 too!
amazing model !
