    This is V2 with better training parameters. I think it came out well. I'm going to hide the 1st version.

    If anyone has knowledge about the meaning of the glyphs please DM me! I'd love to learn more about these.

    I've been fascinated with the art of old manuscripts. The Mesoamerican codec are truly incredible artworks but had also real purpose. They were painted onto dried deerskin strips and folded up into books. I've been trying to learn what all the different day signs and glyphs mean in order to best interpret the panels.

    It will have an effect without tags, however you will get more by adding Glyph or Codex. Panel, multipanel will also help but will make the image flatter - and have panels divided by red lines. I tried to train the model with the names of the different day signs and gods, so those will work well too.

    Examples:

    • Water god or Atl

    • Death God or Miquiztli

    See the table below for more suggestions

    It seems like this Lora works well in combination with other Lora and also with many different Flux base models, but it was trained with the BFL Dev1 flux. If you experiment with it and get something cool, please share!

    Many of the images I used came from the Bodleian Library, Oxford University which I thank. They have a CC-BY-NC-4.0 license which means they are free to be shared and adapted, but not used commercially. I have extensively edited most of the training images in Photoshop to clean them up and make them less age affected.

    Here's a little chart I made with the different day signs and glyphs. It might be helpful for making prompts and things.
