<hr /><h3 id="intron-depot-1992">INTRON // DEPOT // 1992</h3>The Early Works of Masamune Shirow<hr />Fans of Masamune Shirow (士郎 正宗, Shirō Masamune) know he's had two major phases in his career: early and late. His late works are typified by wet, glossy textures, rich colours and elongated anatomies. Fine for some, but not my cup of tea. It's his early work -- in 80s-90s manga works like Appleseed, Dominion Tank Police, Black Magic M-66 and of course Ghost in the Shell -- that I grew up with, and am deeply fond of. These loras are sort of my love letter to Shirow's early work, named after his early-90s art books, 'Intron Depot'.<hr />LORA NOTES<ul><li>Main trigger for both loras is sh1row</li><li>Strength of 1.0 works well</li><li>They're strong loras so various checkpoints work fine; I like what <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2578175/ramthrusts-nsfw-pink-alchemy-anima?modelVersionId=2957659">RAMTHRUST (v2.2)</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/934764/miaomiao-harem?modelVersionId=3107122">miaomiaoHarem (v1.4)</a> do with them</li><li>Works very well with turbo loras like <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2619830/turbo-for-anima-less-steps">this one</a>. If anything the simplification these loras cause helps the style a little, let alone the added speed boost</li><li>Shirow's early works often use traditional media, watercolor \(medium\), marker \(medium\), etc. so give those a try</li><li>General quality tags are not recommended but it's your life, you do you</li></ul>VERSIONSI've done something a little different here and released two versions. Pick your favourite. Version notes are to the right. In summary, \\\ MAIN is a later epoch and therefore more committed to the Shirow style, including certain Shirow-isms that may require extra tags to compensate for. /// ALTER is an earlier epoch; it has a bit more of its own style, but it's a very appealing one, and it's more flexible.<hr />As always, I hope you enjoy this lora, and if you have, please consider posting a gen or two below. It really helps me out!Cheers!

INTRON DEPOT 1992: The Early Works of Masamune Shirow (士郎正宗) - ANIMA

Epoch 12 of 20. Still very much retro Shirow, but is a less direct copy of his style than \\\ MAIN in certain ways, as the Showcase images should hopefully make clear. Nonetheless very fun to use so I decided to release it. As an earlier epoch it's more flexible and less committed to certain Shirow-isms like the big, 80's hairstyles, the open-mouth smile or the added science fiction-y equipment.
