NOTE : Tips for better LoRA expression:

• Use latent injection instead of empty latent

• Favor short prompts

• Avoid using CN or limit its weighting

• Favor a checkpoint with fp16/fp8 precision (avoid Nunchaku)

Showcase images were created with ComfyUI and are in PNG, include metadata & workflow. All licensing conditions for the Flux Dev model apply. You can find the details here.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This model is a tribute to the artist and not an attempt to copy or reproduce his works. Flux1.D is unable to reproduce a graphic universe on which it was trained, the goal is solely to expand Flux's pictorial capabilities.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE : Do not like my models, do not give me buzz, do not follow me, otherwise you will be reported to Civitai for attempted corruption
