V2 — retrained on NoobAI-XL, tag-based captioning
V1 was trained on Illustrious with natural-language captions, which is the wrong
labeling scheme for the Illustrious/NoobAI family — the character token never bound
properly and facial likeness came out soft. V2 fixes that:
- Base model: NoobAI-XL (EPS)
- Danbooru tag captioning instead of prose captions
- Cleaned dataset — inconsistent and low-face-resolution samples removed
Trigger word: chris_ml
Recommended usage
- Works best on NoobAI-XL based checkpoints; Illustrious checkpoints (WAI, etc.)
also work thanks to the shared lineage — drop strength slightly if the face
drifts.
- LoRA strength: 0.8–1.0
- Sampler: Euler a / DPM++ 2M, CFG 5–7, 28–30 steps
- A face detailer / ADetailer pass at ~0.4–0.5 denoise noticeably sharpens likeness
at full-body framings.
- Keep the trigger word at the very front of the prompt.
Prompt example
`urasmanga, 1boy, solo, white shirt, sitting at a cafe table, looking at viewer,
warm sunlight, indoors, upper body, masterpiece, best quality`
Stylistic tags (muscular, bara, beard length, tattoos, hair color) stay fully
promptable — they were tagged in the dataset, so you can steer them freely without
breaking the character.
