If you're suggesting a character, this is the right place to do so! Comment away!
Hello! Just writing this article while the generator is still rather unstable, but anyway here goes...
So I finally hit 1000 followers!
I would like to thank every one of you who have been following me so far and using my LoRAs. Hope that you have been enjoying them so far, as I'm still aiming to create more.
Anyway, guess I'll post some quick updates so far
What happened since my last article?
Illustrious Port conversion has Started!
So the most recent efforts were directed towards more Illustrious conversion especially for my more popular LoRAs first.
So far as of now, I've probably converted at least my most popular LoRAs for now. If you're still looking towards an illustrious port of one of my Pony models, do leave a comment below and maybe i'll focus on getting that next on the list.
Ideally, I'll convert almost everything except my dormant LoRAs to Illustrious. But it will definitely take some time too.
Wings Of Fire LoRA Updates
I'm probably like 30% into updating all my LoRAs for my Wings of Fire collection. Since these were the LoRAs I first started with, i've learned a lot more since I created those LoRAs. So in case you miss my last article, this is what I've been planning:
Creating a V2 for all my LoRAs. All my V2 have improved training data set and improved tagging. Most of my recent V2 LoRAs have at least 2-3 times the training set from V1.
Once a V2 is created, port it over to Illustrious. 4 down, 6 to go
Creating individual Character LoRAs for all the main characters on Pony then porting to Illustrious
So far, I've completed with these for Illustrious:
Seawing: https://civitai.com/models/1353011/seawing-wings-of-fire-illustrious
Icewing: https://civitai.com/models/1272755/icewing-wings-of-fire-illustrious
Skywing: https://civitai.com/models/1299111/skywing-wings-of-fire-illustrious
Nightwing: https://civitai.com/models/1224920/nightwing-wings-of-fire-illustrious
I'll be doing #1 and #2 first since it's a direct effort of each other, then go on to #3 once I'm done with the first 2.
I'm aiming to complete Mudwing, Rainwing then Sandwing before I move on to the Pantala tribes.
So... will still be working on these for the next few months since it takes some time to gather more training data and tagging. Doing the seawing one took me quite awhile to complete heh.
Creating New LoRAs
I'll be balancing everything above with still creating new Character LoRAs.
Unfortunately recently I've reformatted my computer and actually lost the list of updated characters that I was planning to do. So will need some time to recompile again (About 50% complete now)
So going through the huge list is one, but getting down to creating some LoRAs that I've always wanted to do is another thing as well.
But anyway.. read the next point if you want to help me or give me suggestions!
Any Suggestions?
So if you want to suggest a character, feel free to leave it below. But I have a few optional questions for you to answer if you want to help me more:
Do you prefer Pony or Illustrious? (Personally been leaning to Illustrious recently)
Among my LoRas, which are your favorites?
Is there anything else I can improve on?
Most importantly, any character suggestions?
To end it off...
I'm almost 8 months into LoRA creating now and it's been a rather fun journey personally. Still will probably be creating more in the near future at least since it's a fun thing for me to do.
Also just to take note, i'll be away for quite a bit from end march to mid-april so don't expect any new updates from me. Before I leave, I'll probably upload another 3-4 LoRAs which are just illustrious ports
Oh yes, just wanted to drop a quick reminder if you want to support me with more buzz without directly tipping me. I wrote about how you can do so here in this article: https://civitai.com/articles/8321/quick-updates-and-thoughts-again
But basically it's very simple! If you're using my LoRAs then make sure to read this:
Main thing is using the 'add post' button in the gallery section then create your post from there. Every time you do so, I get 75 blue buzz and also a notification for me which helps me jump to your post directly so I can like them so you get some blue buzz back too.
Also another fun fact: I noticed some people copy pasted the entire 'how to support me' thing and posted it in their LoRAs or profiles for themselves too. But you should know that I was the one that typed this out originally first lol.
But in any other case, I'm done with this article and update. Have a great day ahead!
PS. wanted to generate an illustrious version of my dragon but generator has just not been working all day today so here's a past generation.
edit: finally working, so here's a picture!
