I am proudly presenting my series of portraits (head-and-shoulders studio shots) that showcase a wide range of nations across the globe. Each portrait is carefully crafted to reflect the distinct facial features of the given ethnic group in its most natural form.
The name is A mosaic of nations via vanilla Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large.

[c] Quality
⬩ Fine detail and smooth gradient – Max (60) sampling steps, approximately twice the average.
⬩ Generous pixel count – 1.05 megapixels, equivalent to 1024×1024—more than enough for most (online) cases. Upscale should be done afterward at your discretion.
⬩ Crisp footage – No compression artifacts, unintended blur, or subject distortion. In other words, "The lake is so lucid, you can see the bottom."
