This LoRA is designed to capture the distinct look and feel of early 80s fantasy movies.

Z-IMAGE UPDATE:
V2 dataset officially became my go-to test dataset when training a model for the first time.
Experimental!
Default ComfyUI LoRA Loader Reports Errors, but actually applys the LoRA.
Recommended usage settings:
Your favourite spot.
Listen to Castle Rat as background.
Enjoy!
MJ7 UPDATE:
Building each dataset is a joy, so with the release of MidJourney 7, I naturally started this one again from scratch.
This version stays true to the original aesthetic but with improved fidelity and an even stronger 80s vibe.
It’s trained on a fresh, carefully curated set of ~250 images, created by referencing the best results from the previous versions.
V3 UPDATE:
The training dataset has been further expanded to 1,000 curated images, pushing it to the limits of Civit’s on-site training capabilities.
This update include broader selection of fantasy environments, mythical creatures, and epic scenes, enhancing the fidelity to the iconic 80s fantasy aesthetic.
V2 UPDATE:
Added to the dataset a huge amount of Fantasy Characters, beasts and scenes.
Use v1 for stronger effects and v2/v3 for better versatility.

this is awesome. the aesthetic is so clean!
Love seeing this kind of checkpoint/lora work. This kind of stuff should be at the top of Civit, not t&a.
Thank you for the kind words ❤️ Just FYI I am almost done with version 2 of this Lora 😁 I just liked it too much and extended the dataset with 500 new images for better flexibility
That's amazing! would you consider making a giallo style lora (Argento, Mario Bava, Martino)? I know there's a 70's lora but the aesthetics are not quite the same as giallo which have a veru theatrical light. Just a suggestion! Excellent work!
I have lined up a bit of models in the queue, but I will keep this in mind 😁
Great work as always! Some suggestion for retro style loras: Hammer Horror Movies, Dario Argento Giallo's style, Roger Corman 80s Troma's movies , Jean Roulin Vampire movies, Roger Myers exploitation movies and Walerian Borowczyk. thanks
Also cronenberg movies.
@Taco360 yeah, and David Lynch and John Carpenter.
What about 80s horror, and 70s sci-fi, (buck Rogers, Logan's run, star wars, bsg, etc)? Also maybe a retro body horror lora? Like from cronenberg movies? especially something based on the society movie.
Tried so many Loras, this is my fave one! And the rest of your Loras are so elegant! You've got taste. thanks a lot!
Thanks alot :) This is also one of my favourite ones, this is why I extended the dataset for V2.
Would love a tutorial of your process, the quality of your Loras are top notch.
I have mentioned the process several times, so it is not some kind of secret 😁
1. I generate A LOT of images with a consistent idea (Mainly MidJourney).
2. I select the best 150-600 of them.
3. Few words of manual caption ( 2-3 max) + Florence 2 + WD 1.4 for caption.
@ArsMachina Thanks but that's not exactly what I was refering to.
What tool do you use for training Loras? Any insight to share after training many Loras?
Any caveats?
Anyway, thanks for the great work.
@sdf34gdssdg4 All LoRAs are trained here on CivitAI :) You can see the watermark about this in the bottom right below the version info.
I will write some in depth tutorial at some point, but from my experience there are as many approaches to LoRA training as there are people actively doing it :)
The thing that I can share with 100% confidence is something that everybody already knows - Quality of the training images is the most important thing. Quality over Quantity 100% of the time!
I constantly try different parameters/options/captions for my LoRAs , but the Quality of the input is at least 80% of the final result.
Also Pony sometimes , just flat out refuses to learn something :)
Really looks like 80s fantasy! Love it!
