F42 SDXL – Because why choose when you can have both?

Can’t decide between photorealism and anime? Good. Don’t.

F42 SDXL is a glorious Frankenstein’s monster of my favorite models – merging hyper-realistic portraits with crisp anime vibes like it’s no big deal.

Best samplers:

For anime, go with Euler a – smooth, clean, and stylized

For photorealism, use DPM++ 2M Karras – sharp, natural, detailed

V2 runs buttery smooth with CFG 2.4 + 10 steps – yes, really.
