LoCon trained on qtKat's artstyle for ponydiff: https://civitai.com/models/257749

Because of my lack of experience and time, the version number may be based on changes that have made certain aspects worse. As such a previous version may perform better than a later version.

I'm still learning the ins and outs of the model and LoRA training in general, please leave reproducible feedback or tips so that I may improve over time.

Check the "About this version" section for any quirks or pitfalls I'm aware of or have experienced.

Some Q's:

1. What's your workflow?

   • Sampler from images is done with Restarts with segments of [3,2,0.06,0.30], which are values from the paper on Restarts

   • Initial resolution is chosen from appendix I in the paper on SDXL

     • Source: https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.01952

   • Upscale is by 1.5x

   • Upscaler is usually 4x_fatal_Anime_500000_G or 4x_NMKD-Siax_200k

   • Second sample pass is DDIM/DDIM_Uniform at .5 denoise 30 steps w/ no restarts

   • V10 Second sample pass is Euler/normal at .4 Denoise 20 steps w/ restarts

   • A facedetailer is used

   • I use ComfyUI, sorry

2. What strength should I be using?

   • 1, but if it's too much .8 is very good as well

3. Pairs of images?

   • Left image is base Pony, Right image is Autismmix

   • V10 All images are Autismmix Confetti

4. What does your filename structure mean?

   • It's split into 4 parts of [XX]-MAnon-[YYYY]-[ZZZZZZ]

     • [XX] - Artist initials

     • MAnon - My moniker

     • [YYYY] - SD version and Model version (Ex. XLV4.1 is on SDXL [Not 1.5] and it's version 4.1 of the model)

     • [ZZZZZZ] - The epochs, only useful to me
