HUMANIKRONWhen a client needs a portrait, a mockup or concept art — I almost always start with local ComfyUI. Here is why and how.
Why local
- Control. ControlNet, LoRA, inpainting, exact seeds — cloud services either lack this or charge a lot for it.
- Cost. My own RTX 4060 generates 1024×1024 in ~45 seconds. No credits per frame.
- Privacy. The client's prompts and references do not go to someone else's servers.
Models for the task
- SDXL / Juggernaut XL — art, anime, stylisation.
- Flux (Dev / Kontext) — photorealism, product mockups, inpainting without regenerating the background.
A fallback so it never stalls
GPU busy or the PC off? The bot switches automatically:
- ComfyUI (local, highest quality) →
- Stable Horde (a distributed network) →
- Pollinations.ai (free, no GPU).
The client always gets a result — the only question is quality and speed.
An example from practice
For a photographer I built a workflow for product shoots — now they process 200+ photos a day automatically. That is the point: not a single picture, but a pipeline that saves hours.
