Heya!
Time really flies, and it's close to concluding my first year as a LoRA maker. I remember starting around this time in 2024, and have came a long mile since then. Learned a lot, created a lot. Hopefully, you've enjoyed some of my LoRAs so far.
Been awhile since I wrote my last article, but I would just like to give some quick updates regarding what's happening going forward with my creations and stuff.
Latest Updates
1. Focusing on Illustrious
Looking at the statistics and usage recently for my LoRAs and many other LoRA makers, I can only conclude one thing - majority are using illustrious these days instead of Pony.
So going forward, I'll be focusing on creating LoRAs for Illustrious only. If it proves to be very popular, then I'll port it to Pony as well.
Personally myself, I've been preferring illustrious as well too as compared to pony. Lesser errors and more consistency in picture generations too.
However this is not set in stone, and I can always change it in the future. This is a 'only for now' at least.
2. My time on this website
Recently, i've been slowing down a lot on creating LoRAs. Personally, i've been trying to find the perfect balance and focusing with other aspects of life as well. I'm an old fart, so there's something called responsibilities that I need to settle to pay my bills.
If you've noticed too, I have slowed down on LoRA creation a lot. The recent LoRAs are actually past projects where I've already completed half way and just decided to finish the last few % and publish it. That includes the recent Auroth and Maddie.
From time to time as well, I'll be going on hiatus. Those are times when I'm going on holidays and not having access to my main PC for an extended time.
That being said, I'm still creating LoRAs, abeit at a slower pace. Regardless, i'm still active on the website.
3. What LoRAs am I focusing on next?
I think my most immediately next task are to finish up my WoF LoRAs. I have a lot of individual character LoRAs that should be coming next so stay tuned for that.
Also, I think i have enough suggestions for now to work on for like the next 1 to 2 years at least lol. But in any case, make sure to leave suggestions here.
Thank You For Funding My Coffee!
Just a quick update as a LoRA creator is that I've managed to cash out enough to fund my entire membership for one year entirely for 'free' ('free' because it's a lot of time getting it lol)
So for all of you who have tipped me or used my LoRAs before, thank you for funding my membership (and technically coffee!). This means I'll have enough buzz for sure to create more LoRAs for the coming months (and years maybe if i'm still here)
In case you didn't know, every time you generate with my LoRA, i do get a cut in yellow buzz daily as well so you don't have to tip me. Just use my LoRAs if you want to support me
Remember, you can use the 'add post' button in the gallery below for my LoRAs to help me earn more blue buzz so I can cash out the yellow buzz.
To end it off
Thank you for your support so far, and it's only because of your support and positive comments that keep me going as a LoRA creator.
Next article? Probably at 2000 followers. Kinda almost there already if anything.
Wait scratch that, I'll probably want to write a part 2 of my LoRA creation article especially for people who want to train with a small data set. Been experimenting with all the advanced settings for my recent LoRAs, and it's working very well. Here's a small teaser of what has helped me: ChatGPT 😂
Here's to a great second half of the year in and off the site!
