Just started using a checkpoint tease&please which has a good default setting and while booru tags are built in it still handles the usual prompt flow to expect from Illustrious models. Zit based models are looking good though beyond what my poor old toaster can manage.
I'll post the png's so people can drag and drop to read the prompts etc.
A trick for this is using a cartoon-ish checkpoint that is working well with kinky prompts of all sorts for the basic pose and composition (Pony Diffusion is my go-to for this, don't let the preview images fool you, it's not just about "My little Pony") and then simply do an img-2-img with a more realistic checkpoint model.
There are a couple of realistic ones based on Pony, like Realism by Stable Yogi which works really well in tandem when using img-2-img from a Pony base.
