Z-Image or Krea 2 for Realism? A ComfyUI User Coming from Illustrious Asks
Mods_810 · reddit · 2026-08-25
A ComfyUI user who has worked with Illustrious checkpoints for anime/illustration asks for advice on choosing between Z-Image and Krea 2 for realistic images, preferring to go deep on one rather than dabble.
They want to know: realism on skin, lighting, and hands; speed and step requirements; ecosystem maturity (LoRAs, control options, ready-made workflows); and which use cases each suits (close-up portraits vs. full body vs. wider scenes). They admit Illustrious taught them nothing about skin texture and aren't even sure which Z-Image variant people prefer.
