SkinRelic Realism Slider

STYLIZED ↔ REALISTIC

One LoRA. Two Artistic Directions.

SkinRelic Realism Slider is a bidirectional realism and stylization LoRA designed for Krea2 Turbo and compatible custom merges.

Control the balance between smooth, polished illustrations and natural photographic realism simply by changing the LoRA weight.

From glamorous beauty portraits to mature faces, animals and fantasy creatures, SkinRelic gives you creative control over the overall visual appearance of your images.

How It Works

Negative Weights — STYLIZED

• Smooth and polished skin

• Softer facial imperfections

• Idealized facial features

• More illustrated hair and fur

• Digital painting and semi-realistic aesthetics

• Artistic, refined visual appearance

Positive Weights — REALISTIC

• Natural skin texture and visible pores

• More authentic facial proportions

• Realistic wrinkles and age-related details

• Lifelike hair, beard and animal fur

• Improved organic surface textures

• More natural photographic appearance

Higher weights do not necessarily produce better results.

Best Use Cases

Portraits & Beauty

Particularly effective on adult male and female portraits, natural beauty photography, fashion editorials, facial features and skin texture.

Mature Faces

Enhances natural wrinkles, expression lines, realistic skin imperfections and age-related facial details.

Animals

Tested on cats with different fur lengths and colors. Negative weights produce more illustrated appearances, while positive weights encourage natural fur and facial details.

Fantasy Creatures

Tested on dragons. Can influence scales, organic textures and the balance between fantasy illustration and cinematic realism.

Vehicles & Landscapes

The effect may be more subtle on non-organic subjects, including cars, landscapes and environmental details.

Tested Checkpoints

• Nijikaido — Krea2 Turbo custom model

• Venusta 4steps FP8 — Krea2 Turbo custom model

Both checkpoints demonstrated the expected bidirectional behavior in the supplied tests.

Results may vary depending on the checkpoint, prompt, subject and generation settings.

No trigger word required.

Recommended Workflow

1. Load a compatible Krea2 Turbo checkpoint.

2. Add SkinRelic Realism Slider to your prompt.

3. Start with -1.0 for stylization or +1.0 for realism.

4. Adjust the weight according to your preferred visual style.

5. Experiment with portraits, animals, fantasy creatures and other subjects.

For accurate comparisons, keep the same seed, resolution, steps and guidance, changing only the slider strength.

Important Notes

SkinRelic is a creative realism and stylization slider, not a universal photorealism enhancer.

Its strongest observed effects are on human portraits, mature faces, skin, hair, fur and other organic subjects.

The slider may also influence apparent age, facial proportions and overall artistic appearance.

Compatibility and results can vary across custom checkpoints and merges.
