initial tests with illustrious 2.0 are proving pretty promising
its composition easily btfo's all other sdxl models to the point where i rarely get a boring pose out of it
but being a base model it requires a lot of tagging in order to not look like complete shit, and even then it still paints in pretty broad strokes and fried colors, so i pretty much HAVE to pass it through hiresfix with a 1.0 sloptune to soften it out while adding all the details, but that's already how my workflow worked so i dont really mind
aside from that it seems to know some style tags pretty well but other ones miss the mark or dont affect the output enough, so it could really benefit from a dedicated finetune, and it honestly baffles me that no one has made one yet...
