Hi everyone!
This is my first post here, so I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share a bit about what I do, and what you can expect from my work, before diving into the actual subject of this announcement / article / attempt at social interaction on this website.
Iām a LoRA creator and have been active on the platform since October 2023. I originally focused on gay/men-oriented content, but I quickly realized I wanted to take a more inclusive approach. Since many of my LoRAs are based on general visual styles, it made sense to make them usable by a broader audience, not just one specific group. After all, it doesn't take that much extra effort to make things more accessible and it's definitely worth it.
From the beginning, one of my core principles has been to avoid harming small or independent artists. Thatās why none of my LoRAs (aside from a few early, frankly terrible SD1.5 experiments, but hey, we all start somewhere!) use artist images in their datasets. My goal is to create LoRAs that I personally enjoy, that are flexible and respectful of the broader creative community, while hopefully helping others on their own AI journey.
So, hereās a quick update on the direction Iām aiming for on this platform:
Lately, Iāve been thinking a lot about how to be more productive and bring you more, and better, content. To help with that, Iām planning to upgrade my setup in the coming weeks. That should allow me to work faster (which is very welcome, since LoRA creation isnāt my main job!) and I hope it will also help me produce higher-quality LoRA.
That said, Iād really love to hear your thoughts to help guide where I go next:
What kind of content would you like to see more of?
Do you prefer mixed SFW/NSFW posts, or should I keep them separate?
Since most people seem to use my content for NSFW purposes, should I lean more into that?
Which model are you using: Pony, Illustrious, both, another one ?
And one last question:
Which of my LoRAs do you like or use the mostāand more importantly, why?
Iād love to hear your thoughts!
To make it easier to answer all these questions, I made a quick Google Form:

(No personal data is storedānot even your email if youāre logged in.)
Also, just a quick reminder:
I donāt train my LoRAs on the styles of individual artists (unless itās from big companies like Disney, where generating a few images wonāt hurt anyone).
I also avoid using original characters from independent creators. My goal is to minimize any negative impact on small artistsāso please keep that in mind when suggesting ideas. š
Thanks for reading all the way through!
I really appreciate ālooking forward to sharing more with you soon. š
