LoCon trained on GreatestGori's artstyle for Illustrious models
General usage Notes:
For more specific issues check the "about this version" section of the specific model.
Thus far my most successful permanent positive/negative combo is:
masterpiece, best quality, good quality lowres, worst quality, low quality, oldest, jpeg artifacts, blurred, artist name, signatureThis likely changes depending on settings and merges, but I've not needed to modify them.
This model has a STRONG proclivity for large heads, wide hips, thick thighs, grand posteriors. Expect to fight it if you don't want shortstacks.
Strength depends on merge lora compatibility and what you're trying to do, generally:
If you're using it on base Illustrious then I recommend .8
If using with artist tags I recommend .4-.8, but this is to your discretion
If using on stricter merges I would recommend not going over .7
If using on both a good and compatible merge I recommend 1
All of the sample images are at 1 strength
General Workflow for Sample Images (on ComfyUI):
Sampler from images is done with Restarts with segments of [3,2,0.06,0.30], which are values from the paper on Restarts
Note: Using restarts tends to smooth out the image more but makes it more coherent, your mileage may vary and it's up to you if you want to use them
No special scheduler is used
Conditioning is split (A1111 BREAK) into 3 parts, generally BG and camera/Subject Face and attributes/Subject body and clothing
Initial resolution is selected from the SDXL whitepaper appendix I: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.01952
Image is upscaled by 1.5x using Lanczos resampling
Second sample pass is the same, but at around 15 steps at .3 denoise
A facedetailer is used after the upscale
