About this version

The model produces nice effects in the 0.4 - 1.5 strength range.
I personally love using 1.5 strength on the Flux Dev GGUF Q4 and 1.2 on the regular Dev model.
You can safely use strength 2 and still get decent, though more abstract, results.

I strongly recommend using the keywords "monochrome, greyscale, black and white" if you want a classical Sumi-e effect. Without them, the LoRA can still create a beautiful "Ink Wash" style.

The Lora is trained on MidJourney Images that use my "Personalised Style" + Zen Ink Wash Sumi-e

This is a It is a monochromatic Ink Wash style rooted in ancient China that evolved in Japan.

Тrigger words ArsMJStyle, Zen Ink Wash Sumi-e

If you use a model with strong opinion about colors you can also use Black and White, monochrome

Start ~1 and adjust according to your preferences.

If you don't get the desired results on Pony, increase the strength..

This is a style already present in SDXL, so you can go high with the strength and still get good results.
