+ A lot of my own trained LoRA

Description
After a whole month thinking and experimenting in order to improve this model further... I hit a hard wall. Nothing seemed to improve the model - not because it was perfect, but because I was getting stagnant and I needed a different kind of approach.
My new discovery was: "LoRA with a negative value". Instead of seeing the LoRA as mere "addition" to a model, I started to use them as true sliders that could always affect a model by removing a style, instead of adding. And there are more bad LoRA than great ones!
Which means...
By using a few negative LoRA, I've created a very, very dynamic model that will need a lot of work in the future to become its own thing and reach the stability of the previous model. But if you like creativity and fun compositions and you don't care about some ugly hands every now and then... I'm sure you'll have A LOT of fun with this version!
