I'm kicking off a fun little Side Quest to run alongside the next 7 Daily Challenges β just a relaxed community boost to spotlight great creations and give my LoRAs a bit more love.
If you're up for it, you can earn some extra Buzz, a bit of visibility and maybe even a pin or two!
Starts with the Daily Challenge on May 4, 2025.
Ends with the Daily Challenge on May 10, 2025.
π§ Whatβs the idea?
For one week, Iβll be handing out extra Buzz rewards each day to images that creatively combine the Daily Challenge LoRA with one of my LoRAs.
Itβs an easy way to make your entries stand out a bit more β and itβs always fun to see what people come up with.
π What can you win?
Daily picks (chosen by me):
Bonus if an image that uses one of my LoRAs places in the top 3 of the main challenge:
π₯ 1st β 350 Buzz
π₯ 2nd β 250 Buzz
π₯ 3rd β 150 Buzz
Bonus if an image that uses one of my LoRAs places in the top 3 of the main challenge:
Daily picks (chosen by me):
π₯ 1st β 1000 Buzz
π₯ 2nd β 750 Buzz
π₯ 3rd β 500 Buzz
UPDATE: Categories are switched after public Voting -> https://civitai.com/articles/14332?highlight=1068165#comments
Important: Only images that are officially submitted to the Daily Challenge are eligible!
β¨ Extra Recognition:
Top entries will get a pin on the respective model page, so others can discover them more easily.
All images that earn Buzz through this Side Quest will be collected in a public showcase gallery throughout the event.
β How to take part:
Use both the Daily Challenge LoRA and at least one of my LoRAs.
New releases during the event count too!The use of my LoRA should be visibly noticeable β subtle is fine, but it should add something distinct.
(No need for tomatoes to rain or rice to shoot out of noses β just make it visible π)Using multiple of my LoRAs wonβt increase your chances,
but if it works artistically β go for it!Iβm after good vibes, strong visuals and a bit of artistic flair β anything that feels well put together and has that spark that catches the eye.
This Side Quest is for SDXL-based Daily Challenges only:
FLUX-only days are excluded
Illustrious or Pony? Try at your own risk π
Winners will be picked within 12 hours after each Daily Challenge ends.
Buzz rewards and pins will follow shortly after the selections.
π― Why this Side Quest?
Iβve poured a lot of time and care into my LoRAs and Iβd love to see them pop up more often β in creative, thoughtful and visually cool ways.
This is just a fun little challenge to encourage that β and maybe hand out a few Buzzes along the way β¨

No Daily Challenge winner with my LoRAs today.
This time it was really tough β thatβs why it took a bit longer.
There were so many amazing entries that even a group of 5 people couldnβt settle on a Top 3.
In the end, I had to ask ChatGPT for a deeper analysis of how well each image captured the theme β and it came down to very fine details.
I first selected my Top 10, which we narrowed down to Top 5 as a group.
The final decision? AI-assisted, but human-backed π

π https://civitai.com/images/74988662
Even though it didnβt make the podium, this one absolutely deserves recognition β and earns 100 Buzz as a special mention.
It was seriously impressive to see the Rice Morph LoRA used here β and trust me, I know how hard that one is to control π
It came very close, and yes β it triggered a full-on debate here about whether it should be Top 3.
In the end, it was just the tiniest details that tipped the scale.
