Why this lora is great:
Manually and carefully (!) hand-picked artworks
Removes anime bias of illustrious
It can do nice dragons
Why this lora isn't great (in the current version):
The only elf in dataset is sylvanas and she has a runny makeup on her face which transfers to the other elves. Easy to fix though.
To remove realistic effect and move back to flat anime you have to prompt it yourself, I didn't introduce any trigger word for that
However, that being said, this is not supposed to be "realistic dark fantasy lora", if I had to describe it, it would be a lora that improves classic medieval fantasy themes, but not necessarily bound to realism.
If you like what I do please don't hesitate to tip me, I'm using this buzz to promote my content.
Besides the trigger word illu2025 the other useful tags are realistic and cartoon, anime in negatives.
The thing is that illustrious KNOWS about all the non-anime stuff like dnd, gwent, the elder scrolls and so on, but it just has such a strong anime bias that it can't escape it on its own.
This lora helps to remove this bias and with prompting the tags like "gwent, bloodborne, dark souls, greg ruthkowski, craig mullins, the elder scrolls" you can steer it in the direction you want. But it's just an example, feel free to explore on your own.
