<h1 id="melita:-a4lj2qqr5">Melita:</h1>Doing some simple basic testing with a character turnaround. Melita's design is really simple so I'm not exactly looking for high consistency with her and wanted to have some sort of baseline for loopback testing. Unfortunately, I wasn't very successful so it's not really worthwhile writing and article for. I'll probably need to design a character with more complex details later for more stress testing. It seems for Illustrious knowing the proper prompts/artist keywords seem to help with the posing. The dataset is only a limited turnaround so the posing is very stiff. The anytest CN can help with adding dimensionality to the character which I think is only possible as her design is really straightforward.<h1 id="prisca-gn7kz5ycv">Prisca</h1>A complex character design. Images are very cherrypicked on the basis of the outfit but the LoRA performs very well in terms of inpainting. More overtrained compared to the other LoRAs due to loopback usage.<h2 id="elris-c7wz4aw9f">Elris</h2>A rather simple character design this time to test out a couple of things regarding accessory training, and clustered objects along with experimenting with loopback.3/4/24 Update:Blind Test with SDXL training. I'll write an article about this later. Read 'About this Model' for more details.Kie recommended weight:1I am probably going to need to change the title of the page now since I am using txt2img ControlNets to augment the dataset for style. (I did use a LoRA to loopback but I used weight of .1~.2 and outd to weaken the effect. I did another round without the LoRA and the difference wasn't very noticable). Read below if you want see the specifics of the augmentation.<ul><li>Enna LoRA focuses on a simpler design to see what mistakes in the turnaround make an impact on the LoRA design</li></ul><h1 id="about-6b4n7kyn5">About</h1>This is a place where I keep my tests with single image OC LoRAs. The goal is to try and create a consistent character LoRA with a minimum amount of effort. If you're willing to spend time, you can create a consistent character in this <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAhqMzgiHVw">tutorial here</a> (not mine). Keep in mind that these experiments are more of a learning effort rather than producing an accurate LoRA. Due to the limited dataset, these LoRA are highly likely overfit in weird scenarios that I haven't tested yet. I'll probably write an article about the process in the future.<h1 id="articles-on-workflow-bcfig50l6">Articles on Workflow</h1><ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/articles/903/training-a-lora-with-a-single-base-image-lora-part-1">Part 1</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/articles/1058/single-image-lora-part-2">Part 2</a></li></ul>Images are of-course cherry picked with adetailer and hi-res fix with (AnimeSharp4x\UltraSharp4x) at 0.2 ~ 0.5 denoising strengths.Isabella's original image is the second image in V1.

Requires long prompts that describe that character and the environment to work well.It should work well enough with anime-based models, I haven't tried anything realistic or semi-realistic.

OC LoRA Tests

Simple Illustrious Training on a simple character turnaround. This character design is rather simple and is just to get a base grasp on character training for illustrious.
