Advices use simple prompts

no need to use keywords like "masterpiece, best quality, 8k, intricate, high detail" or "(extremely detailed face), (extremely detailed hands), (extremely detailed hair)" since it doesn't produce appreciable change

use simple negatives or small negative embeddings. gives most realistic look (check samples to get an idea of negatives i used)

add "asian, chinese" to negative if you're looking for ethnicities other than Asian

Light, shadows, and details are excellent without extra keywords

If you're looking for a natural effect, avoid "cinematic"

avoid using "1girl" since it pushes things to render/anime style

to much description of the face will turn out bad mostly

for a more fantasy like output use 2M Karras Sampler

no extra noise-offset needed, but u can if you like to 😉
