SinistrellaXL | Anything but Real

I was super impressed with @RAMTHRUST‘s Black Magic, primarily the eyes and general expressiveness/sense of wonder, and wanted to see if I could bring it more into a more semireal environment. I merged it with NetaArt at a low strength, pushed in Faetastic Detailer with a Cinematic Lora to give it additional shading and realistic understanding. It generally works, I consider this an alpha as as still way more base anime 2.8D than semireal but it can sometimes nail a good compromise between with the right prompts.

I’m a big fan of Euler A in things like this, but it has worked fine with other traditional samplers/schedulers. It might have an issue with some prompts overexposing it, and I dont know why yet.

Recommended 2.8D/barely semireal prompting for this model is raw photo, realistic:1.3 cinematic photogenic, and anime, cartoon in the negatives, but YMMV.
