This is a multiple award bounty worth a total of 13,000 buzz. An individual hunter could be awarded up to 6,500 (see buzz breakdown below).
Why am I offering this bounty?
I enjoy training AI models; however, my dopamine rush is tied to the novelty of training a new model and quickly wanes as I go through testing, using, and releasing a new model. I often have a backlog of ten or more trained models just waiting to be posted, and I’m often already busy figuring out and training number 11 instead of working to get the other ten uploaded and ready. I’m also far more logical than creative, so I’m often awed by the fact that AI artists using my models generate images far better than anything I create with them.
Therefore, I’m outsourcing part of the process to our community's more talented AI artists. Through this bounty, I'm commissioning AI artists to make images for my models so I can show what they can do.
The Details
This bounty is for images using a Folk Art Style Lora (download here: https://civitai.com/models/1408100) using the base Flux dev checkpoint. Follow the link to the Civitai page for more information on the LoRA and to download the file. Do not post images to the model page or submit reviews. Note that your submissions should not be remixes of the images on the model’s page now. I want to see what the model can do outside my limited creative boundaries.
Use the listed LoRA and base model to make images.
Post up to 5 images (each as their own entry).
Get Buzz
Awards
I will award up to 13,000 buzz, which includes awarding up to 18 images with 500 buzz each and paying out 4000 buzz in additional bonuses. So, in addition to the 500 buzz per image, I’ll also tip you an additional amount for the following individual bonus awards:
1,500 Buzz: My favorite image will receive an additional tip of 1,500 buzz to the creator. This image will most likely be included as the first or second in the showcase (2,000 total)
1,000 Buzz: My second favorite image will receive an additional tip of 1,000 buzz and be included in the first five images of the showcase (1,500 total)
500 Buzz: My third favorite image will receive an additional tip of 500 buzz and be included in the first five images of the showcase (1,000 total)
1000 Buzz: Suggest a better name for the model. If I like and use your idea, I’ll award you a tip of 1,000 buzz (if it inspires me to come up with another name, I may award a tip of 500 buzz). Submit your suggestions in the bounty’s comments. You don’t need to submit a bounty to participate.
Each hunter can submit up to five entries and win up to five bounties. Technically, one hunter could win all 4 bonuses, giving them a total prize of 6,500 buzz.
I’ll post winners here in the comments, but I’ll also post them in the model’s showcase image post. If you follow me, you’ll also get the system notification when I post the model.
If any of your images are chosen to be included in the showcase, you will also benefit from the following:
You will be added as a collaborator on the showcase post (you can refuse the invite). You’ll share in any buzz rewards given to the post or images.
You will receive attribution credit and be listed on the model card along with a link to your profile.
You may be contacted to commission more images outside of the bounty.
Bounty Rules
Please follow the following rules and guidelines:
Only each entry's first image (cover image) will be judged. Please add additional submissions to their own individual entry. Five entries are allowed.
Judgements and awards are at my sole discretion, but images with high reactions will at least catch my attention. If I do not use your image, no bounties will be awarded.
The submission must use the linked LoRA model with the listed base model. Submissions using other LoRAs or alternate base models are not eligible to win.
The submission must be unaltered (no post-generation touch-ups) and contain all generation metadata.
Do not post bounty images to the pre-release model card or review the pre-release model. I want to pay bounties to AI artists for showcase images, not farm buzz or reviews.
We share rights to any images receiving bounty awards, which extends to the creation prompts, settings, and other creation metadata. I can use the original image or a remixed version in the model’s showcase. If I pay the bounty on your entry, I may use your image, a remixed version, or generate images with your prompt in the future. You can still use, sell, remix, or post your image.
SWF images are preferred -- but it is Flux, if you can make it generate NSFW using the base model and only this LoRA, go for it.
The following increases (or decreases) your chances of winning:
For a showcase bounty, I prefer images that are either 832x1216 or 896x1152. They work better for a showcase. However, if I really like an image of another dimension, I have and will choose it.
I prefer images generated with the original flux dev checkpoint (quants are fine).
If I cannot see your generation data, I’ll be hesitant to award a bounty. If you generated in Comfy, post your generation data as an entry comment.
