    Shaded

    This is a experimental LoRA

    Key Points

    • Shaded was not trained on Booru tags

    • Shaded was trained on Natural Language captions, via a complex image captioning system I've been working on.

    • Despite not being trained on Booru tags, both natural language prompts and booru tags can be used — separately or in a hybrid approach.

      • For Booru tags to work, you will need a base model that was trained on Booru tags.

    • Subtitles and Text can be minimized by adding subtitle / subtitles or text to your negative prompt.

      • Some resolutions also tend to result in more or less subtitle outputs.

    • Most of the sample images were generated using sample captions from the dataset.

      • This was done to save time on inference.

      • For some prompts, I appended a few booru tags to test hybrid prompting.

    • Sample images are limited due to my PC running hot and overheating during inference.

      • This wasn't from the model. The GPU is reaching it's final days. (RIP)

    • Given the experimental nature of this LoRA. Feedback and Discoveries are welcome. Please provide your feedback and findings on the Discord thread linked bellow or, hear on Civitai.

      • Note: I get a lot of notifications on Civitai, so it may take a while for me to see your comment.


    Usage

    • A LoRA weight of 0.8 is recommended. Though, this will vary depending on your base model.

      • If the style is too strong, you can lower the weight or use one of the earlier epochs (available on the huggingface repo linked bellow).

    All Epochs can be found on 🤗Huggingface.


    Limitations

    • Firstly, this is not the best Retro-Style anime LoRA for SDXL. At least, I don't believe it to be. Due to the focus on the captions, I admittedly ignored some of the data cleansing and post-processing steps that I commonly use when training a new model/LoRA. This is the reason for the follow limitations.

    • Unwanted Subtitles, Text, and Watermarks. (See Key Points on how to minimize this).

    • Booru tagging is dependent on your base model.

    • Some tokens seem to have a particularly large effect on the style.
