I put more emphasis on major female characters, but I included some men, random characters, and scenery. I avoided crowd shots or pictures where characters were overlapping, since that seemed to confuse the AI based on a previous attempt.Good for solo images. May not be very coherent with complex multi-character images. As always, use detailer or inpainting to fix faces that are small in the frame. This was trained on civitai because I don't have enough vram.Many of the frames from the cartoon are simple and at times "badly drawn". Maybe it was a bad idea to train this on "bad" drawings, but I wanted it to look authentic to the TV show. (Others have made loras that look more like Bruce Timm's personal artwork, such as: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/901017/bruce-timm-portrait-sketch-style">Bruce Timm - Portrait Sketch Style</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/364130/retro-cartoons-the-animated-series-pony-xxx">Retro Cartoons, the Animated Series</a>.)<h3 id="version-4.i-for-illustrious">Version 4.i for Illustrious</h3>This version was trained for Illustrious on a similar dataset to version 4. Follow prompting instructions for Illustrious, using booru tags and "dcaustyle" and optionally the character prompts listed below. I got good results using it with the model <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/827184/wai-nsfw-illustrious-sdxl">WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL</a> or <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/941345?modelVersionId=1053830">Hoseki - LustrousMix</a>. It might not play well with NoobAI models. If you find models it works best with, please leave a comment.<h3 id="version-4-pony">Version 4 Pony</h3>Trained on 330 images. New version with a slightly tweaked dataset and captions, and trained a little longer. I think this has better style and character accuracy than previous versions. Eyes and hands might still be questionable, so use inpainting or detailer to fix.<h3 id="version-3-pony">Version 3 Pony</h3>Trained on 314 images and trained longer over all. I added more diversity of images split between: heavily-trained characters, less-trained/random characters, and a small amount of scenery.I tried strategically removing some tags from some images. For example, I dropped basic hair and eye description tags from most images of characters that have more than 3 images. This is an effort to reduce trained characters bleeding into original characters. Will this work? I don't know. Some characters have been learned better, but some might be worse than v2. Overall though the style is stronger.Some clothing tags for known characters were changed. See the Character section below for the current tags.<h3 id="version-2-pony">Version 2 Pony</h3>Trained on 212 images, up from 128. Added more pictures of the featured characters I'm trying to train and random characters/costumes for dataset diversity. This version has more varied male characters too, though major male characters were not represented by more than a couple of pictures and will probably not be accurate. Sorry.Some tags used for major characters were changed. See the updated character section below. Training was slightly longer with tweaked settings. (2 repeats x 17 epochs = 34 looks at each image.)<h3 id="sd-1.5-version">SD 1.5 version</h3>I made this by request, just with mostly the same dataset as v2. It doesn't work that well. Use it with a 1.5 anime model. You'll need to use hires fix, inpainting, detailer, etc. to improve the images from this one. Tags should be the same as v2, except of course don't use Pony's tags.<h3 id="characters">Characters</h3>This is meant to be a style lora, but I also tried to make it like a multi-character lora.At this point, others have made Illustrious and Pony character loras for pretty much every JLU/DCAU character, so I recommend using those together with this lora for best accuracy.Some characters were trained with about 9-15 images each, and can be generated with moderate accuracy. Try using the name and some of the booru tags that are listed below. (You don't have to use all the tags, just what you need to emphasize. Try also prompting "constricted pupils" if you want pupils, "no pupils" if you don't, or even "no sclera" as some DCAU characters like Superman don't have sclera.)<ul><li>Batgirl: batgirl, light blue eyes, mask, red hair, black lips, two-tone cape, belt, black bodysuit, yellow gloves</li><li>Barbara Gordon: barbara gordon, light blue eyes, no pupils, red hair, black lips, black shirt, pleated skirt</li><li>Black Canary: black canary, blue eyes, blonde hair, sidelocks, medium breasts, cropped jacket, black leotard, pantyhose, cleavage</li><li>Galatea: galatea, blonde hair, bob cut, swept bangs, aqua eyes, gold belt, turtleneck leotard, long sleeves, cleavage cutout, gloves</li><li>Hawkgirl (Justice League season 1-2 masked outfit; you have to prompt "feathered wings" or it will leave them out): hawkgirl, feathered wings, orange hair, strapless shirt, belt, tights, red footwear</li><li>Hawkgirl (JLU outfit with no mask): shayera hol, feathered wings, green eyes, constricted pupils, orange hair, parted bangs, yellow sports bra, yellow track pants</li><li>Huntress: huntress, black eyes, mask, cloak, leotard, navel cutout, purple belt, utility belt, elbow gloves, thigh boots, thigh holster</li><li>Supergirl: supergirl, blonde hair, swept bangs, light blue eyes, no pupils, hairband, white t-shirt, cape, miniskirt, gloves, boots</li><li>Wonder Woman: wonder woman, blue eyes, constricted pupils, tiara, star earrings, star /(symbol/), strapless leotard, lasso, high heel boots</li><li>Vixen: vixen, pixie cut, orange eyes, dark skin, tooth necklace, pendant, tooth earrings, tooth belt, orange bodysuit, cleavage, plunging neckline, belt, elbow gloves, claws</li><li>Zatanna: zatanna zatara, black hair, long hair, large breasts, magician, tuxedo, suit jacket, white bowtie, vest, leotard, pantyhose, sleeve cuffs, top hat, high heels</li></ul>Characters with 5-9 images.

DCAU Style (DC Animated, Justice League/Unlimited)

Trained on similar dataset to version 4, on the Civitai trainer for Illustrious. Follow prompting instructions for Illustrious, using booru tags and "masterpiece, best quality" etc. along with "dcaustyle" and character prompts in description. I got pretty good results using it with the model WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL, but you can try others.324 images x 3 repeats x 16 epochs = 15,552 totalOptimizer: ProdigyClip skip 2min SNR gamma=6noise offset=0.05alpha/dim=16/32
