After careful fine-tuning, I would like to release the YumeWa Real Illustrious checkpoint. First, let me introduce the predecessors:

Base Model: KodoraIL 17.2 - by Kodora
This is an awesome model that takes realism and stretches it to the boundaries of fantasy. It does great with different angles and body styles, creating the flexibility that I wanted to have as the core of my models, something that is often overlooked but so nice to have in realism models. Thank you Kodora for allowing merges.

BeretMix Real v10 - by AI_beret - a long standing favorite for Japanese faces and realism, this model also has a lot of flexibility and a beautiful Japanese face.

Note that Kodora's restrictions have been applied to this model.

YumeWa Real

Yume is Japanese for Dream and Wa mean Harmony. I chose these names to represent this model because the subject matter is broad and you can dream up whatever you like, and the merge is harmonious and does not falter easily, leading to generations that accept the tags in your prompt without much work.

What YumeWA Gives You

Faces that lean towards the BeretMix appearance, with tons of flexibility and the ability to explore concepts that other realism checkpoints choke on.

Some bias towards NSFW images.

Compatibility with most LoRAs: detailers and lighting LoRAs such as Envy, Dramatic Lighting Slider, and more

T-Girl (futa) capable but not the strength of this model. Prompt carefully and try different seeds and prompts/weights if at first you don't succeed.

Gallery:

All images in the checkpoint gallery were generated without upscaling, with exception of the image with 4 women.
All images have been generated using at or near the following:
Sampler: Euler A

Steps: 22

CFG: 5.2-5.8

However you may experiment with other settings freely.

I noticed for fine details there was a bit of residual noise I was unable to tweak out when lowering the steps to 20, but in general this is not a problem and only demonstrates that the model is working exceptionally well, with no blotchiness, color artifacts or other major defects.

Feel free to experiment with other sampler/scheduler combinations. Exp_Heun / Exponential is one of my favorites. DPMPP_2M_SDE + Karras is also a very strong combo.
