About this LoRA:
I had a fun time designing scientific and biology LoRAs using Illustrious but realized that while it can do present day and futuristic stuff, it had a real hard time doing vintage/pre 20th century periodicals. While trying to train various LoRAs through Illustrious, I was just never able to get it quite right and will probably continue trying (edit: I tried and I think I got pretty close). I took the time (and BUZZ) to work on it in Flux.D and the product turned out amazing! Using various periodicals from the 18th and 19th century (that's the 1700s and 1800s, childrens...) mostly scientific sketches, medical illustrations, and periodicals from that time, I put together a vast set of data capturing the the style of pre 20th century articles.
Whilst this LoRA can emulate "regular" articles, editorials, and opinion pieces of its day, I mainly intended to use it to describe oddities that remain a mystery to this day. Stuff about Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, UFOs, and then stuff in popular media like Terminators, Predator(s), kaiju, Aliens, Pokemon, etc.
Lastly I wanted to bring up something interesting: one of the champions of the weekly 18th century periodicals known as the "Penny Magazine" was founded by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge in 1832. Who would have known that 200 years later, a new type of diffusion would spread un-useful, fake knowledge to the masses for nothing more than a dopamine hit in the form of a fictional thumbs up?
So without further ado folks, I present to you, Ivan's museum of Curios and Oddities! (note: just because I get bored from time to time, I'll post random pictures whenever I feel like it and you should too! Also, I used a made up fake language in the titles of the periodicals I generated. I created it as a psuedo latin mixed with other European languages. Think of it as a dialect or language that died out or borrowed heavily from others. See if you can make out the titles).
