EpicRealism-V1

• use simple prompts

• no need to use keywords like "masterpiece, best quality, 8k, intricate, high detail" or "(extremely detailed face), (extremely detailed hands), (extremely detailed hair)" since it doesn't produce appreciable change

• use simple negatives or small negative embeddings. gives most realistic look (check samples to get an idea of negatives i used)

• add "asian, chinese" to negative if you're looking for ethnicities other than Asian

• Light, shadows, and details are excellent without extra keywords

• If you're looking for a natural effect, avoid "cinematic"

• avoid using "1girl" since it pushes things to render/anime style

• to much description of the face will turn out bad mostly

• for a more fantasy like output use 2M Karras Sampler

• no extra noise-offset needed, but u can if you like to 😉
