I've noticed other checkpoints often slightly distort the intended aesthetics, especially when working with manga-style LoRAs. Regarding prompts, I typically use </span><strong><span style="color:rgb(255, 0, 0)">'masterpiece'</span></strong><span style="color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">only in the positive prompt and include </span><strong><span style="color:rgb(255, 0, 0)">'bad quality'</span><span style="color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"> </span></strong><span style="color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">and </span><strong><span style="color:rgb(255, 0, 0)">'worst quality'</span></strong><span style="color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"> in the negative prompt. I deliberately avoid adding terms like 'good quality' 'best quality', or 'official style', since these tend to diminish or override the distinctive characteristics and facial details provided by the LoRA.</span></h3><p><img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/399a924b-319e-4f78-a051-b87a855bcf1c/width=525/399a924b-319e-4f78-a051-b87a855bcf1c.jpeg" /></p><h3 id="a-huge-thank-you-to-everyone-who's-supported-me!-j7bh47h0y"><strong>A huge thank you to everyone who's supported me!</strong></h3><h3 id="the-reason-i-ask-for-buzz-or-support-is-because-i-genuinely-want-to-keep-creating-and-updating-better-loras.-people-might-have-noticed-that-i've-been-uploading-loras-much-less-frequently-lately.-this-is-because-i'm-running-low-on-the-buzz-i-had-saved-up-(around-200k)-before-i-started-creating-content.-f9fmw6o17">The reason I ask for buzz or support, is because I genuinely want to keep creating and updating better LoRAs. People might have noticed that I've been uploading LoRAs much less frequently lately. This is because I'm running low on the buzz I had saved up (around 200K) before I started creating content.</h3><h3 id="although-i-am-still-a-half-rookie-as-a-trainer.-but-honestly-i-didn't-have-to-share-any-of-these-since-i-could-have-just-kept-them-for-myself.-i-chose-to-upload-them-hoping-for-at-least-some-encouragement-or-support-but-if-i-keep-receiving-no-help-at-all-i-may-start-keeping-my-work-private-going-forward.-i'm-seriously-considering-this-option.-ki9jer1w6">Although I am still a half rookie as a trainer. But honestly, I didn't have to share any of these, since I could have just kept them for myself. I chose to upload them hoping for at least some encouragement or support, but if I keep receiving no help at all, I may start keeping my work private going forward. I'm seriously considering this option.</h3>
