No refiner, just base sdxl 1.0 + sdxl vae in automatic1111, 1024x1024, without lora, textual inversions, or embeddings, and largely 2M Karras. Vlad works well, and I'm still sussing out the character of sdxl for a comfui workflow while I wait on controlnet.
The seed seems to matter differently with sdxl, producing stronger but more consistent stylistic variations that the prompt can work with. For example, a recent one produced everything as aqueous media over line art on what looked like cotton rag. I didn't bother to record seeds before, but I'm starting a small list as I come across interesting ones.
