Trained with a dataset containing both "good girls" and "bad/sultry girls". Also took out images that contains hands in odd position or roughly drawn in the hope of improving the rendering of hands. The result is a LoRA that is better in some ways but worse in others.
Pro: better hands, can handle both "good girls" and "bad/sultry girls".
Con: not as good as the other versions, which specializes in either "good" or "bad/sultry". The "bad girls" look a bit too sweet, and the "good girls" don't look "innocent" enough 😅.
I've tested both epoch 10 and epoch 12 and the results are mixed, depending on the prompt. So I've decided to upload both and let the end-users to decide for themselves.
Inspired by the works of American comics artist and illustrator Adam Hughes. To see his delightful works, please go to

Known problem:
The LoRA can to mess up fingers, specially if the person is wearing gloves. If that happens, lower the weight to 0.8 usually fix the problem. You can also try epoch 8 or 10 of the LoRA.
For fans of American Superhero comics, no introduction is needed for this spectacular artist. Still, while collecting material for this LoRA I became more aware of the connection between Hughes and the great illustrators of the past, such as J.C. Leyendecker and Alberto Vargas, and to Art Nouveau. There is little doubt in my mind that Hughes must be a fan of these works from the past, and have incorporate element from them into his own unique and beautiful art style. I can also surmise that Hughes is probably a big Anime fan, as I can see some anime elements in his illustrations as well. All in all, my guess is that Hughes is a fanboy himself, one lucky enough to make a living off his passion and produce great illustration for all of us to enjoy.
Even though the LoRA is intended to generate cheesecakes, it works fine for other illustrations such as beefcakes as well, at least for Superman 😅.
This LoRA concentrates on "good girls", such as Lara Croft, Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl and Power Girl, but I've included Catwoman and Black Cat as well. I'll be doing another one that is more concentrated on the darker, more sultry variety in the near future.
