My first steps in LoRA creation.

So I finally got over the "I don't know what in doing" hump and made some LoRA with the on-site trainer so here the story. This will be a bit tutorial and general ramblings about how it's gone.

1st and most important discovery is that it's cheap and easy to make a LoRA (making a good LoRA maybe less easy).

Making the Goblinizer.

• I saved a bunch of daily challenge goblin images to a folder on my PC. I used around 70

• Click the trainer, select style or concept (I don't know what this does, who cares).

• After agreeing to something drag and drop your images into the appropriate box.

• (This is the important bit). Auto Label, Tag. The black list is the important thing here, what is not in the tags goes into the lora so for this one I black listed goblin, pointy ears, green skin, grin and some more you get the idea. Maybe turn down the threshold, and up the tag limit then run the auto tagger.

• Check tags manually delete those that you didn't think to add to the blacklist.

• It's all down hill from here, add a trigger if you want one, I ignored the advanced setting because I've no idea what they do (maybe later) accepted default test prompt (probably this could be better), then set it in motion and wait a while.

• Pick an Epoch and publish

This all took about 45 mins (ignoring the waiting but I was cooking then) and cost 500 buzz and the result worked OK, it made goblins and somewhat captured my style this could have been a good entry level daily challenge LoRA before the Darth Vader toilet meta took over.

It's good fun to see what people do with a creation like this, if you do it don't expect to be swimming in buzz but we need to spend our challenge winnings on something ;)

Overall it's good fun to do and I want to see an Icy style LoRA.
