Todo list
May 2025
Almost everything canceled, because of new TOS that forbids any LoRA and checkpoint that can produce someone similar to real person, and most artists I have did paint and draw real people, or used real people as models to depict mythical and folklore characters.
Still in works:
Denslow v2
From new ideas:
Some weird Ancient Greece style thing from 19th century
Nightmare/psychedelic dream LoRA based on biological illustrations
Actual biological illustrations LoRA
April 2025
I decided to revisit my plans and correct them a bit, since I learned a lot about LoRAs in last few weeks, and also got new ideas. First of all, I want to retrain some existing ones with better approach, so I will primarily focus on that. I also got request for Illustrious variation of one v-pred LoRA and it's in the works right now. Only then I'll go for new things. I also want to ditch trigger words where possible, because they capture too much info and may reduce generalization.
Inspired by Hans Thoma Illustrious.
In the works, based on Illustrious XL 1.1. I thought Illustrious is good for capturing style in comparison to Pony, and while it's true, Noob even better at it, at least compared to Illustrious 0.1. Not sure yet for 1.1, need to gather more experience.It is done. Had to revert to Illistrious 0.1, since results with updated versions were pretty bad. Here's where you can get it: https://civitai.com/models/1359168/inspired-by-hans-thomaInspired by Paul Cesar Helleu. I don't like how much it overfits now, so going to make gentler training with more regularization, and, probably, masking, to reduce excessive similarities between characters that are not part of style.
Inspired by Ferdinand von Řezníček. It's overfit and I want lighter version.
Inspired by Vyacheslav Nazaruk. Here I want better faces and less of copper mountain with more variety in attires.
Inspired by W. W. Denslow. I have decent v2 locally, but haven't published because objectively it's not much better than existing versions. Still too many children and too many of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.Check out Orange Mood. It's based on Denslow's Mother Goose, but retains a lot of anime/cartoon characteristics of Noob AI XL with brighter colors.Inspired by Carl Newman v6. Done.
Inspired by Julie de Graag Noob AI edition.
Not sure what will be next, yet, but I still want to make that noir and Faustun Betbeder LoRAs, along with something more crazy.
Old list
Just leaving it here for posterity.
Inspired by Hans Thoma. I really love his work with light and shadow and sense of something otherworldly in his portraits. Going to make one for paintings and one for drawings. Current status - published
Inspired by Julie de Graag v2. Need to clean up data for training. Result should be more AJDG, less random art nouveau and generally cleaner. Current status - preparing dataset.
Inspired by Gerda Wegener v1-illustraions. Very stylish NSFW. Current status - preparing dataset. Contemplating making single Portrait + Illustrations.
Inspired by Paul Cesar Helleu Pony. Don't know why, but I think this would work great with pony. Had few unsuccessful attempts, need to understand fundamental differences between Pony and Illustrious
Inspired by W. W. Denslow v2. Planning to do some day. Probably ditch The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Inspired by Carl Newman. Current status - published.
Inspired by Faustin Betbeder. Have images, need to prepare dataset from them
Inspired by John Edward Gray - biological illustrator and naturalist. Probably will abandon it in favor of generic Biological Illustration LoRA.
Noir illustration LoRA. Gathering and preparing dataset. Dataset will be 100% synthetic.
Inspired by P. C. Skovgaard. Had few unsuccessful attempts. Probably will abandon it in favor of generic "realistic romanticism" LoRA
Postcard/Stamp LoRA. Just musing about an idea, could be fun.
