This LoRA is trained on MidJourney images that utilize my "Personalized Style" combined with Pixel Art. This is version 2 of my Pixel Art LoRA, and the changes are substantial enough to warrant a new model card.
Original model - https://civarchive.com/models/547343/pixel-art-pony-sdxl

Like v1 of the Model, all versions play really well with other Pixel Art assets.

V3 Update:
The dataset has been completely reworked from scratch using the latest MidJourney models.

I’ve removed the special manyP / fewP tagging system, since it seems no one was actively using it. The dataset still includes a wide range of pixel densities, but now without custom tagging.

If you found that feature useful, feel free to leave a comment and I might release an alternate version with it re-enabled.

This version leans more into "style inspired by pixel art" rather than strict, purist pixelation.

Usage:

The trigger words used in training the LoRA are ArsMJStyle, Pixel Art, manyP, fewP.

• All "lower pixel count" images were tagged with fewP (~200 images).

• All "higher pixel count" images were tagged with manyP (~200 images).

While it can work without the trigger words, it is specifically designed to produce five distinct modalities:

• ArsMJStyle, Pixel Art, manyP + Negative: fewP
  Highest quality; only the specific Pixel Art color transitions are visible at first glance.

• ArsMJStyle, Pixel Art, manyP
  The default "High quality" pixel art.

• ArsMJStyle, Pixel Art
  The default look and feel, similar to v1.

• ArsMJStyle, Pixel Art, fewP
  Visible pixelation; resembles the look and feel of modern pixel art games.

• ArsMJStyle, Pixel Art, fewP + Negative: manyP
  Even more pronounced effect; evokes the look and feel of retro pixel art games.

Please check the pinned posts for a better showcase of its usage.

LoRA Strength:

• Starts adding visible effects at 0.2+.

• Works best in the 0.4 - 0.8 range, depending on your preference and LoRA mix.

• For the best Pixel Art results, I recommend setting the strength to 1+ if you're not mixing it with other LoRAs.

I have a deep appreciation for different Pixel Art styles, so expect this model card to include fewP/manyP as standalone LoRAs, other versions with specific color/style influences, and a new version with 3-4 tiers of pixelation.

Thank you for reading this wall of text and I hope you enjoy this LoRA as much as I do!
