Hey everyone. I'm releasing the first version of
TOT Illustrious Realism (v1.0).
I built this model out of personal need. I wanted a generator that could blend two completely different styles into one – the dynamic energy, clean lines, and colors of graphic illustration on one side, and the natural textures, soft lighting, and depth of real life on the other.
After quite a few hours of tweaking and testing, I assembled this v1.0 build. It handles cinematic shots, landscapes, fantasy characters, and graphite pencil sketches quite well.
This is the initial version of the project, and with your help and feedback, I look forward to refining and improving it further.
I'm setting Early Access at a symbolic price of 200 Buzz. Give it a spin and see what you think.
Recommended Settings:
Steps: 35 - 45 (this range brings out the cleanest details)
CFG Scale: 5.5 - 7.0
Sampler / Scheduler: dpmpp_2m / karras
VAE: Baked-in (no external VAE required)
A Note on Support
A huge thank you to everyone taking the time to test and support this project.
For independent creators, Buzz is the main fuel in Civitai that allows us to run heavy server tests, experiment, and keep refining our work.
The 200 Buzz support, any review, or images uploaded to the gallery mean a lot and directly help keep this project moving forward.
Feel free to post your best renders in the gallery below – I'll be checking them out and tipping my favorite posts with Buzz.
