This article is just me logging my work to create a Pastel Mix XL and Fantasy World. For people who do not know me, I've been creating Lora since the start, I stopped for a year or so now I'm back. The Pastel mix model created by Andite used one of my Loras, we had discussed the model before making the one for the 1.4/1.5 model so I pretty much know/have the datasets for the models.
The Pastel's base model was dpeptea, which was a dream booth train, and andite's tea model mbw'd.
These were further trained on Matcha, Jordan Grimmer, Liulianban, Xilmo's arts, and some secret artists, transferring art styles to create the Model Pastel Mix and Fantasy World.
The two models aren't so different, both use the same base model and two artists were merged. The Difference factor was the other two artists and Art transferring methods.
Anyway, I'll be starting the process of creating this model on the XL version. The Base will be Animagine. However, it will be trained on some backgrounds first to have it learn some more concepts.

Also if possible it'd be really good if CivitAI could increase the Training Image Cap just for this one.
Phase 1 was a success. Created a Chalk/Oily = Pastel Lora to change the color style.
Phase 2 - (WIP)
Training on some famous pastel artists, and giving color variance.
Here is a Form you can request me Lora there (I make Free Loras too).
