Youthful Aesthetic: Warm Melanin Edition (SDXL)Description: This is the fourth installment in the "Youthful Aesthetic" series. This model is specifically designed to enhance youthful features for characters with deep, warm, and chocolate skin tones.I created this to fill a gap in SDXL models, which often struggle to maintain soft, young facial structures when generating darker skin tones.Technical Note: To achieve the best results, I recommend using the trigger word along with descriptive prompts like <code>dark-skinned girl</code> or <code>warm skin tones</code>. This ensures the model correctly applies the aesthetic to the intended complexion.Tested &amp; Verified:<ul><li>Illustrious-XL &amp; Based Models: Optimal Performance. This LoRA is fine-tuned to work flawlessly with Illustrious, providing the most harmonious and clean results.</li><li>Pony &amp; Juggernaut XL: Works well, but may require more fine-tuning of weights. It effectively "softens" the mature bias of these models, but keep an eye on the details.</li></ul>Usage Tips:<ul><li>Strength: Recommended range is 0.4 to 1.5.</li><li>Caution: Unlike my previous models, this one is more sensitive to high weights. Pushing it above 1.8 - 2.0 may cause blurring or artifacts depending on your base checkpoint. I recommend starting at 0.7.</li><li>Negative Values: Using this in the negative range will lead to harsher, more rugged facial textures.</li></ul>Trigger Words: <code>youthful_face-choco</code>, <code>dark-skinned girl</code>"Pro Tip: You don't have to specify skin color in your prompt. If you omit color-related keywords, the LoRA will still work on light-skinned characters, but the effect will be different. It adds a specific soft, warm glow and reshapes the facial structure in a unique way. Feel free to experiment if you're looking for a different kind of 'youthful' look!"
