This model is the result of extensive checkpoint merging, focused on achieving a more natural and believable level of realism.

The primary goal was to improve how skin is rendered moving away from overly smooth or plastic-looking outputs, and instead producing textures that feel more organic and lifelike.

With the right prompting, the model is capable of generating:
Natural skin texture

Visible pores and fine details

Subtle imperfections such as wrinkles and age spots

More grounded and less “AI-polished” results

Notes:

Created through multiple merges and refinements

Exact merge sources are partially lost due to the experimental workflow

Best results come with detailed prompts and SDXL-optimized settings

Important note on skin rendering:

By default (without specific skin detail prompts), the model generates relatively smooth, clean, and idealized skin like most SDXL/Illustrious realistic merges. This is normal behavior.

To get organic, lifelike skin with visible texture, pores, wrinkles, age spots, and imperfections, actively add tags to your positive prompt, e.g.:

skin pores, age spots, wrinkled skin, wrinkles, weathered skin, skin imperfections

(or use weights: (wrinkled skin:1.2), (visible pores:1.1))

For ultra-clean beauty-style skin, avoid these tags or add them to negative prompt (e.g., wrinkles, pores, imperfections, detailed skin texture).
