I emerged from my lair for a while to bring you two pictures that I think are exceptional.
I wanted to get something as close to the original SR7 style as possible which is hard. I also played around with prompts that could create some not so common poses and picture framing and once in a full moon I've gotten something special.

in a very close SR7 style.
Now I have to admit I made an extremely minor tweak in photoshop to one pinkie finger in the second picture and about 20 various pixels of the eyes are brushed over which actually came out close to perfect but needed that little bit and I got tired of messing with the infinite spectrum of adetailers and eye loras. So these don't use any of that.
The pictures use this Lara-El lora

The basic sample pictures for that lora don't seem like anything good can come out of it. But looks can be deceiving, especially if they are based on poor examples. One of the user examples there was this stunning picture which is what I started with.

I tried to replicate it but despite having all the right ingredients couldn't get an exact replica. I experimented further with other base models looking for one that could deliver a similar more "western" style, like the Perfect Pony XL and here is some B-roll footage of that.
Then I switched back to old faithful Autismmix Confetti and sure enough, it delivered. I shouldn't have doubted it for a second. It always delivers.
Would like to note that this Lara-El lora is proof that a well trained model is a well behaved model.
The excellent example uses the usually poor looking Pony Diffusion V6 XL and yet it completely smacks the ugly out of it. Even when paired with the original SunsetRiders7 style v2.0 at full strength of 1 it forces it to some very good eyes instead of the fugly mess that usually occurs. It's not perfect and it doesn't occur all the time but it's much better then what can be gotten with other character loras.
But of course it's not that simple. A rant for another day perhaps.
And lastly a picture of Dexter's mom for some reason. It's a haphazard result of stumbling on that character lora when experimenting with the pose prompts. The origin of it is a picture that is neat mix of a show accurate look mixed with slight shift towards a very nice style. This happens rarely and is the coveted internet gold. So I turned this

And you guessed it. It uses Autismmix.
