--- READ HOW TO USE PLEASE --- The [hopefully] long awaited Flux version of The Weirdies! "Really Weird-ies", the more bold, less cute more scary, random big brother of it's counterpart lora "A Little Weird-ies" Use it when you want things to be, really, really weird. Higher the weight, the weirder it gets. I like to start at around 0.9 and work my way up. You onsite gen folks get that awesome blue buzz from viewing ads as your browse for testing use because.. well.. it will take a little trial and error probably but it's worth it imo. Always make sure to include the trigger and I highly suggest including some sort of term like "monster, creature, chimera" or so on. You have to have something weird going on, for this to work properly. You can't just prompt "horse" dial it up to 1.0 and expect a weird horse. Flux is too damn literal for that and will win out over the lora every damn time. And I admit, it's probably a little undertrained but going past the epochs I did just costs too much for a lora that will probably make me half of what I put into it, if I'm lucky.

"A Little Weird-ies" is the more tame, more cute, more subtle little brother of it's counterpart lora "Really Weird-ies" Use it when you want a more subtle effect.

A Little Weird-ies [Flux]

Here we are again.. getting weird ;) I trained this in a TOTALLY different way under the guidance of some pros, (thank you btw), so it may be a little different than v1 but in a better way. The Pros: Adheres to prompts a lot better than my other loras. More or less, if it's organic or semi-organic, it should accept the lora's style. Works very well with other loras also and in my testing even works on pony models (tho I do not promise it works on all pony models). The Cons: If you use a high CFG you will get overblown images. It can vary between models but I found between CFG 4-5.5 is a good range to prevent that. Suggested weight is between 0.4-0.6 (on Forge/A1111, Comfy may need or less), when you get around the 0.8 weight of things you may notice some degradation if you are making something with a ton of small details, like scales but, in general, a hi-res fix, well, fixes it. (go figure, right?) ALL EXAMPLE PHOTOS were made without hi-res fix!

TheWeirdies (v2)

It's time to get weird again... but with PDXL! Now this was a total experiment. I promise nothing but so far my results have been very very good. PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION FOR INFO A ND TIPS! Being being as Pony is pretty much a broken model, it can be a little hit or miss. I strongly suggest using rating_safe tag and score tags for better quality images depending on whatever model you are using. Without making it more SFW you are probably going to get humans with little to no style being applied. If that stuff is confusing you you I highly suggest using <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/332646">https://civitai.com/models/332646</a> embeddings, they take the guess work out of it. Use the suggested trigger words: TheWeirdPony, animal focus, no humans Suggested Negatives: humans, 1boy, 1girl If you are really struggling to get creatures try adding: alien-like creature/alien-like monster + some sort of animal/bug or known popular monster (eg: chutullu) &amp; it should help. If you like colorful creatures, use <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/352581">https://civitai.com/models/352581</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/478011?modelVersionId=531624">https://civitai.com/models/478011?modelVersionId=531624</a> or <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/426473">https://civitai.com/models/426473</a> - color prompts can really depend on the checkpoint, these help almost guarantee you get colorful generations. And as for suggested checkpoints <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/443821">https://civitai.com/models/443821</a> has worked awesomely for me. Pony base model worked also but you will have a lot more cartoony like image unless you add the Negative scores to counteract getting those type of images (which is source_anime, source_furry, source_cartoon) My favorite (realism) prompt so far as been: Positive: score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, source_photo, (photography, realistic:1.4), subsurface scattering, Photorealistic, Hyperrealistic, analog style, realistic, film photography, soft lighting, heavy shadow, (alien-like creature:1.2) ANIMAL NAME HERE-ANIMAL NAME HERE, (no humans:1.2) Negative: humans:, 1girl, 1boy, score_6_up, score_5_up, score_4_up, source_pony, (source_anime:1.1), (source_furry:1.1), (source_cartoon:1.1), worst quality, low quality, Have fun! A v2 for the SDXL lora will be coming out soon once I make back some buzz.

The Weird Pony

Most animal prompts should trigger it. Cats, lizards, birds, aliens and monsters type prompts it excels at. As well as most fungi related prompts. Using dynamic prompts to combo of animals/alien/fungi works really well. Get creative! Plays wells with every model I tested but was trained using <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/311952">https://civitai.com/models/311952</a> so if you want max accuracy that's where it's at. Worked well with all the loras I tested as well. Suggested weight: 0.6-0.9, the higher the weight, the more texture you'll start to get as well as multiple eyes. So keep that in mind. Prompt wise I do suggest having the trigger "TheWeirdies" Other helpful prompts would be: no humans, animal focus, alien-like, monster, creature-like
