This is a LORA aims to simulate the art style of the artist known as MKaz. If you are interested in the original illustrations, you can check out their <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://www.furaffinity.net/user/mkaz/">FA account</a>. The artist’s works exude the stereotypical early 90s editorial style of drawing anthropomorphic animals. While the artist has several distinct artstyles (toon style, pure illustration), this LORA focuses solely on simulating their most predominant illustration work type: photo compositing, where the anthropomorphic characters are superimposed onto real photo backgrounds. Additionally, the anthropomorphic characters that are being superimposed are usually artistically nude and outright erotisim is rare. In the artist's usual photo compositing works, the photographic background typically dominates the image area and carries much of the visual weight. However, this LORA is not trained to faithfully reproduce the aforementioned composition ratio. Instead, it is much more character focus, therefore during the generation it is expected that the character will occupy a huge part of the image space.One of the greatest drawback of this LORA is it inability to generate convincing photo background as the checkpoint its being trained on is not fine tune for real life photo output. Furthermore, generating highly convincing photo background is not the goal of this LORA. Another weakness of this LORA is the grey color band at the edges of the generated image. For some unknown reasons, the LORA keeps putting grey color band at the edges of the image, a very frustrating issue that has zero easy workaround. Whenever the LoRA is active, it stubbornly adds grey bands back to the edges during img2img and inpainting. The showcase images are cherry picked and upscaled.Trigger word: MkazStyle Recommended tag: furry, anthro Recommended LORA Strength: around 0.75 Prompting Style: e621 or danbooru tags, requires moderate amount of tags in the prompt to guide the LORA toward a decent output. Sampling method: Euler, Euler A CFG strength: 4~7 Significant tag (order from highest exposure to lowest exposure): masculine, sheath, canine, feline, feminine, photo background, greyscale photo background, taur, paws, flaccid, cartoon background Recommended Resolution (taur): for taur character, use square or landscape aspect ratio so the LORA has more relative horizontal space to work with when generating taur body. IMO square aspect ratio usually result in better taur character artstyle and proportion wise. LORA description Trained on <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/3671/yiffymix?modelVersionId=2468549">YiffyMix V63 checkpoint</a>, the images showcase here are all generated using <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/3671/yiffymix?modelVersionId=2642671">YiffyMix V64 checkpoint</a>. Rank/Alpha ratio of 32 to 16. Predispose to generate nude masculine character with sheath and image with photo background. LORA known weakness: 1. Grey color band at the edges of the image: a very frustrating issue that has zero easy workaround. Whenever the LoRA is active, it stubbornly adds grey bands back to the edges during img2img and inpainting. 2. Mediocre photo background: since the base checkpoint wasn't fine-tuned for photorealism, expect mediocre background details. 3. Struggles to consistently generate correct hand-to-object interactions: This has been a rather challenging issue persisted in the SDXL family. The LORA alone can't fix it, so expect to rely on Inpainting or ControlNet to clean up these issues if you found a particular great output with such defect. 4. Artifacting on small features: Expect visual artifacts, particularly on hands, mouths, and the far eye/face area in three-quarter angles. 5. Inconsistent pupil styling: Generated pupils occasionally develop artifacts or overly embellish details, straying from the original art style's simple black pupils. 6. Poor real-world object generation: Everyday items like cars and street hardware routinely fail to generate cleanly, resulting the blobby mess on the output. 7. Inconsistent finger: character could be generated with 4 fingers at one hand and 5 fingers at another. 8. Struggles with continuous wrapping and plausible placement of rope-like accessories: eg: camera strap would frequently break continuity or clipping into character. 9. Taur character has a higher failure rate: generations of taur character usually result in more conspicuous defects. 10. Struggling to generate multiple characters and their interactions: This LORA was trained and benchmarked primarily on artstyle fidelity, this priority may have cost the LORA's capability to generate complex poses and multi-character scenes.
