HuslyoRealism XL [SDXL]

After tons of experimenting, merging, and testing, I am releasing my first full custom checkpoint:

HuslyoRealism XL: Photography-first realism checkpoint for SDXL, tuned for natural light, soft skin, and NSFW realism.

Enjoying the model? A green thumbs-up helps big time!

This is a photography-first model capable of both SFW and NSFW content, with a strong NSFW focus for people. I created 12 different versions of HuslyoRealism during development, generating over 2800 images per version to test stability and consistency. This release is the most balanced so far, though still experimental.

📝 Model Notes

Great for both SFW and NSFW images, but also highly capable of scenery (landscape or portrait).
Mixed with my Touch of Realism LoRA and other LoRAs in this series, meaning you do not need to load those extra LoRAs (though you can use them to amplify effects).
Focus on smooth skin tones, natural lighting, and photography compositions.
Responds very well to film grain, grainy texture, photo of… prompts, and excels in macro photography-style close-ups.
Expect slightly softer faces compared to some other SDXL models, but with enhanced realism.
I will continue developing new versions. If this one does not meet your goals, I highly recommend switching to Analog Madness XL3 (my favorite general-use model) or Lustify (NSFW peak performer).
