Great! can you make an Illustrious version of this?
Thanks! I can try. It will take some time, though. I don't have any experience with Illustrious LoRas training yet.
@Moonbear_AIArt it is almost as same as SDXL
really like this one : )
Thanks a ton! 🐻⚡🙌
Do I use the SDXL base model for this? What about the refiner? SDXL basemodel + lora -> then the refiner?
Oh, sorry, I just noticed that. You can actually use any SDXL-based checkpoint for this. You can see it in the gallery below. I'd even go so far as to say that very few people use the SDXL base checkpoint. As for the refiner: In my experience, it always comes at the end of the chain.
