    Seph's Illustrious - Sharp Detailed Light

    Aims for:

    • Sharp and crisp images

    • Good details

    • Awesome lighting

    • 2.5d - To me this is a sweet spot of realistic enough, but not too realistic ; to avoid uncanny valley.

    • Rating support: Intended for sfw & skimpy ;; PG, PG-13, R

    Preview images were made with:

    • Prompt only, no lora

    • Sampler: (v1) Euler + Normal (drafts) / Euler + SGM Uniform (img2img+adetailer)

    • Sampler: (v2) Euler + SGM Uniform (drafts) / Heun + Simple (img2img+adetailer)

    • CFG: 5-8 (v1: 7-8 // v2: 5-6)

    • Steps: 32, 42 (drafts at: 16 ; some might call that final, depending on aspect/result)

    • Aspect Ratio: 9:16 , 21:9
