Bristolspin Style Merge [Illustrious]

Laconic:

Bristolspin Style Merge is a highly illustrative style that has a tendency toward strong, and at times irregular line art as well as pen, ink and marker stylization. It also has a tendency to include borders of different varieties and to then disrespect the edges of those borders. Lastly, it has a penchant to produce unusual, oftentimes spiral or ringed eyes. Bristolspin isn't intended to emulate any one particular art style, rather it was made because the author thought it looked cool.

v2.0: Shares the style as above, but retrained on the same images with changes to the training process such as changes in tags and a higher Network DIM. Generally feels more detailed than v1.0.

Loquacious:

Simply put, this style LoRA is simply the result of me messing around with various LoRAs, various prompts that influenced the look of the style and some messing around with extensions for Forge. I stumbled upon a combination that I liked and then proceeded to make entirely too many images with it. Once I realized that things had gotten out of hand I thought, "well, might as well make a LoRA out of it at this point."

My typical settings:

Steps: 20
Sampler: DPM++ 2M, Euler a, HeunPP2
Scheduler: Automatic, Karras, Turbo
CFG: 3.5 - 7.0
Denoising: 0.45
Weight: 1.0 - 1.3

The LoRA is trained on images that frequently had two things in common. One, a white border that the images would often intrude into in some way, not unlike what might happen when you're illustrating with a Bristol board (at least in my experience). Two, the characters would more frequently than not have spiral, spinning shapes within their eyes.

Hence: Bristolspin.

OK, it's not my strongest attempt at giving something like this a name, but cut me some slack.
