Aurealis

Introducing Aurealis, a LoRA model designed for SDXL to integrate bioluminescent and iridescent qualities into your AI-generated images. Use the trigger word "aurealis" in your prompts for the full effect, and incorporate glow-adjacent adjectives such as "bioluminescent" or "iridescent" before the subject of aurification (noun). Put together, this might look like:

"aurealis, iridescent skin" or "aurealis, bioluminescent clothing"

Aurealis is inspired by images collected from the web and captioned using GPT-4o with the Caption Helper app (https://sd-caption-helper.vercel.app/), which I developed using Next.js. The captioning process uses a dynamically appended instruction to the already detailed system prompt optimized for LoRA captioning. This approach isolates the target concept/style more effectively than traditional captioning. The additional instructions used for captioning are included and serve as a starting point for prompting:

Please start each caption with either "bioluminescent" or "iridescent," mentioning the part that has that quality at the beginning and no other point (like "bioluminescent dress," or "iridescent skin," or "glowing shirt," etc.). Don't mention that it's glowing/bioluminescent after the beginning.

Here are examples of the training data captions (images compressed):

aurealis, Iridescent skin, close-up photograph from above, face with eyes closed, lips slightly parted, smooth complexion, pink and blue shimmering light reflections, soft pastel hues, delicate petals around head, ethereal atmosphere.

aurealis, Bioluminescent dress, photograph, side view from behind. Standing with head turned slightly to the left, long flowing dress covered in glowing blue lights. Short dark hair tied up, beach setting with sea waves in the background. Twilight sky with gradient from dark blue to orange near the horizon. Sand and a few rocks along the shore.

The name "Aurealis" evokes a sense of glowing light and shimmering beauty, capturing the essence of both bioluminescent and iridescent qualities. This model is optimized for SDXL and will not work on PonyXL models. Use Aurealis to enhance your artwork with stunning light effects.
