FLUX UPDATE !!!

I decided to update my Lora for Flux, at 4k steps and 3k steps.

The preview images were the outputs I got when training at 512 x 512 on 29 images.

I do believe the 2000 and 2500 step models were also pretty good, should I upload them as well ?

I hope you enjoy :)

Introduction

This is the first LORA I've ever made, so it's far from perfect. I trained it on 85 images of Bacun's art using Anything v4.5 at 512x512.

In hindsight, I realise some of the images I included in the training set messed with the results, as they have multiple characters or wrong anatomy. Five of them didn't even get picked up by the Kohya SS gui. I guess that proves quantity doesn't always equate to quality. Also, sometimes it can get pretty close to the referenced illutrations.

Usage:

For now, the LORA needs heavy handholding.

I'd say put the strength at 0.6 - 0.8 (over those values, impurities and other characters will often pop up). If you enable highres, put the Upscale at 1.5 and Denoise at 0.5

This combines quite well with other character and style LORAs, you can also try using ControlNET.

What's next:

I'll try to improve this LORA some more by polishing the training set, then the next LORAs I'll make will be one focused on a specific Niji Journey cartoon style, and one about the character Arezu from Pokemon Legends Arceus.

As for why I made this, it was because I wanted to learn this artstyle, so I thought making a LORA based on his art could be a huge help with learning the anatomy. I was gonna keep it private, but changed my mind in the spirit of open source. Also, it would only take a few weeks or months for someone else to do it instead sooo yeah.

Final points:

Please, if you make something with this model, credit the original artist (Bacun), as he's a very talented individual. Feel free to polish it, use it in mixes or whatever.

Feel free to use it locally or on Google Colab.

Please, do not use it on your generation service without my agreement first (although I obviously can't enforce it).

I hope I don't end up regretting posting this, but hey, it was interesting to discover the inner workings of LORA-making. This shows that literally anyone can do this after a couple of hours though.

Edit: Removed early access, thought it wasn't necessary in the end.
