<h2 id="z-image-turbo-version:">Z-Image Turbo Version:</h2>Note the trigger words on this version. Z-Image Turbo is very sensitive to the word "storyboard" and will generate multiple frames in the same image, so that had to be eliminated. The words "digital sketch" are important to override Z-Image's strong tendency to generate photographic content.Using the sampler/scheduler: Euler_ancestral/<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/erosDiffusion/ComfyUI-EulerDiscreteScheduler">FlowMatchEulerDiscreteScheduler</a> will give results that are closest to the training images.Start at a strength of 0.8 or 0.85 to get a strong effect with less anatomy problems.<h2 id="illustrious-version:">Illustrious Version:</h2>This version was trained on the same updated dataset used for the Flux and Pony versions. Example images were created with the <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/140272?modelVersionId=1240288">Hassaku XL (Illustrious) checkpoint (v1.3 - Style A)</a> Euler a/Simple, CFG 5, 30 steps. Many, many thanks to @ChronoKnight for his encouragement, wisdom, and buzz! This wouldn't have happened without him. This is my first attempt at an Illustrious model so feedback is, of course, welcome.<h2 id="flux-version:">FLUX Version:</h2><h3 id="start-out-at-a-strength-of-0.8.-if-you-go-up-to-1-be-prepared-for-some-funky-mutations.">Start out at a strength of 0.8. If you go up to 1, be prepared for some funky mutations.</h3>Specify motion blur, if you want it, and choose your camera view (closeup, over the shoulder shot, aerial shot, medium shot, etc.)I ran this training 7 different times/ways before I was happy(ish) with the results. Flux is a wild animal and really fought this style for some reason. All training images were black and white, yet this produces many color images. Occasionally it will produce photo-real images (stronger epochs only introduced more mutations and hallucinations, not fewer photo-reals). So, it is what it is ;)<h2 id="sdxl-version:">SDXL Version:</h2>This LoRA was trained on SDXL Base using 60 grayscale storyboard sketches and character portraits at 21:9, 16:9, and 1:1 aspect ratios. At full strength you get the most abstract sketches - good for leaving the fine details of a scene to the imagination. At around 0.8 strength you get much more coherence and prompt faithfulness. You can go lower from there to get more detailed and realistic sketches.Strength of 1.0: Strongest styling, less coherence and prompt faithfulnessStrength of 0.8: Good styling, medium coherence and prompt faithfulnessStrength of 0.5: Conventional styling, best coherence and prompt faithfulness<h2 id="pony-version:">Pony Version:</h2>This version was trained on an updated dataset and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Example images are all at a CFG of 10 or 12 to get more contrast, and Euler/Normal or Euler a/karras. Same strength guidelines as the SDXL version.

Storyboard Sketch
