Solarum Faces & Emotions XL adds close, cinematic portraits of adults: faces, hands and small honest expressions, with warm light and real skin texture.
v2 is retrained from scratch on a new, clean dataset of 149 images I generated on DeviantArt DreamUp from my own prompts.
How to use: start at 0.7 without the trigger; it keeps your prompt best. Add jsolarum_faces_and_emotions for a stronger look; it can change the composition.
Training: Juggernaut XL v9 base, kohya sd-scripts, LoRA dim 32 / alpha 16, UNet only, 768 px buckets, AdamW8bit, cosine, LR 1e-4, 4 epochs (1,492 steps).
Showcase: Juggernaut XL v9, Euler a, Karras, 24 steps, CFG 4.5, LoRA 0.7, no trigger, hires 1.5x.
