    Project:R —~
    Not guided by direction.
    But by curiosity.
    A compass that doesn’t point north —~
    but beyond the known.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    🧵 What makes this model special?

    Honestly —~
    that’s something you’ll discover best yourself.

    Not by searching for answers.
    But by following your imagination.

    Your ideas.
    Your stories.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    What I can tell you…

    Project:R is the model that draws
    what AI art and merging feels like to me.

    Not just images.
    But moments.

    Moments —~ in between

    Between styles.
    Between worlds.
    Between ideas.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    It’s not about mixing.

    Merging, for me, is about coexistence.

    Letting opposites exist —~
    without forcing them to become one.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    A space where…

    realism and stylization touch
    control and randomness coexist
    form and abstraction overlap
    clarity and ambiguity live side by side

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    The characters are not fully grounded.
    But not fully lost either.

    The worlds are not complete.
    But not empty.

    Everything exists —~
    but not isolated.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Project:R is not about control.

    It’s about exploration.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    So what can you create with it?

    That depends.

    Not just on the model.

    On you.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    You don’t need the perfect prompt.
    You don’t need a fixed idea.
    You don’t need to know where you’re going.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Just start.

    And see what happens.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Project:R

    Not an answer.
    A space.

    with ♥ Reij


    🧵 Some of the threads woven into this model:

    – isofocus —~ a balance between sharp presence and soft surroundings
    – dynamic camera and movement —~ always in transition, never static
    – duality in style —~ painted and rendered, existing side by side
    – duality in focus —~ clarity and diffusion, not opposing but coexisting


    🧵 Some of the settings I found myself returning to:

    – DPM++ 2M Karras —~ a stable path through uncertainty
    – 30–32 steps —~ enough detail to emerge, without over-defining
    – CFG around 6–7 —~ guided, but not constrained

    – Hires fix at ~1.5x —~ expanding the space, not sharpening control
    – denoising around 0.3 —~ preserving the inbetween, not collapsing it

    – format (~832×1216 / ~832×1536) —~ reinforcing movement and flow

    That really makes me happy to hear, thank you so much! ^-^
    I hope you’re enjoying what you’re working on right now as well.

    It means a lot to me that it makes you happy —~
    and sharing that feeling with someone makes it even more special. ^.^

    @reijlita I'm diving down the Z-Image Turbo rabbit hole currently!! :-D

    I'm genuinely speechless at this merge. I just generated some pictures to test and they were all awesome, no inpainting, barely any adetailer work. This makes me quite conflicted, on one hand I fear using this would make me lazy and complacent, on the other, this is just too brilliant to overlook.

    Anyways, truly good work, I'm humbled at the craftsmanship on display here.

    Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! ^-^

    I get what you mean
    we all have different ways we like to create,
    different spaces we feel at home in.

    Just happy if it gives you room
    to explore and have fun. :)

    I’m really glad you tried it
    and that you like the results
    that truly means a lot. 💛

    Fix the SLOP description mate. Please. You can't put 5 minutes into writing a normal model description?

    I believe everyone… everything carries something special within them.
    My models? Small doorways into a space of possibilities that spark in between.

    Yes, normal is enough.
    For me, “normal” includes something special ~ all ways.

    I’m a dreamer… am I?

    And isn’t it so…
    that we try to meet ourselves with care… with dignity?

    So gently… is it so hard to offer that same softness to others?

    If my words are chosen with love… with sincerity…
    if I tinker, quietly, while a model emerges…
    curious… with heart…

    maybe… I only ever wished for that same gentleness in return.

    I’m a dreamer… am I?

    What do you mean? The style offends you somehow? The text is informative enough plus the added charm and personality are endearing, that's why Reij is unique and indelible. Normal is everywhere else, maybe look there?

    great model, aesthetic, poses and dynamics. I am having issues with adetailer though, faces still come out quite blurry no matter my settings, anyone have any tips?

    thank you very much ☺ really glad you like it

    adetailer can be a bit tricky sometimes.
    I actually wrote a small article specifically about that,
    maybe it helps ^^

    just in case:
    it could be VAE-related too.
    there’s already one included in the model ^^

    Very interesting model. An attractive painterly quality with great posing dynamics. (Tip: Use words like "dynamic pose" or "dynamic view" gingerly in prompts.)
