Copper Thyme

This one’s built around Illustrious SDXL and tuned with a few hand-picked LoRAs for lighting and anatomy. It’s less stylized than my other Rusty Iron Peper merge. So don’t expect the huge hips, razor-sharp faces, or that heavy comic-book grit. This version leans cleaner and more natural: smoother lines, softer expressions, and better material lighting overall.

It hits that middle ground between realistic and illustrated — still has character, but it won’t over-bake the details. Think polished concept-art energy instead of over-rendered pin-ups. Skin looks warmer, metal and cloth actually have texture, and the overall tone fits fantasy, modern, or soft-erotic work really well.

If you liked the last one but wanted something easier to control for lighting, poses, and anatomy balance — this is that.
Use detailers for the eyes and face if you’re going close-up, and try 1024+ for the best results.
