Recently I dug up some of my old drawings - lots of hand drawn, which are mostly monochrome, pencil work, and some of my digital art. Yes, I used to draw. Wouldn't call myself "an artist", but I will definitely call myself "a perfectionist". So, I thought, what if I take my digital artworks and train a LoRA on them? Beat the loop, you know? The artist who did the art also made the AI model that copies (shamelessly) the artist's work. Full circle. Push the envelope, watch it bend.

The art in question has two types of logic and style behind it: first, anime coloring and "anime/manga" style since some of it was made when I was trying to teach myself that;
second, which came later, when I got better, a more (semi)realistic style akin to western comics. That evolution was natural since I really don't like the anime faces - no lips (or nips, but focus on the face, folks!), no nose, huge eyes, just... no.
Backgrounds are simplistic - sort of a rough brushed gradient colour. Linework is thick, and sometimes wobbly because, it was done by hand. If you are looking for a "real", "drawn" feel it really helps.
