📌 About the pinned images
I try rotate the pins every 1–3 weeks to keep the gallery fresh. If yours gets unpinned it is not a demotion it is just making room. :3

Less anime like more like 2.0 but with lighting and more detail!

Thanks so much for the tip! I love your checkpoints so much so it's an honor ♥
Hi there! Big fan of your stuff — seriously, your models rock! Quick thought for the next semi-realistic update: what if faces leaned just a tiny bit more toward realism? Not full photoreal, but that sweet spot between anime and real? Feels like the community’s been waiting for that “perfect” semi-realistic model — and you’re so close already!
@alexkir742742 if u look at the old SD 1.5 models would u say thats the "realism" u want in faces or even more?
@Desync Yeah, actually — the faces in your SD 1.5 v5 are spot on. Semi-real, no weird distortions, just looks like a real person. It’s the perfect balance between realism and anime — not too soft, not too harsh. If that face style could be ported to SDXL, I’d be really happy. No extra realism needed — just that look, but in SDXL quality/resolution:)
Great model: finger/hands, illustrious tags, women curves, colors,hair. Wish: reduced il-typical faces but that is possible with refiner & upscaling or charakter loras. Thank you.
Ho! New version? Gonna try it!
This is a very versatile model and my go-to to test LoRAs with the on-site generator. It never fails, it's amazing, thank you very much sir
wow
Easily one of my favorite models to work with! Love it!
PerfectDeliberate is eternal.
Cant believe I have been sleeping on this gem. One of the best checkpoints ever.
So less-realistic.
looking at your prompts they dont say realistic or anything going towards that direction
