Seeing a lack of MtG styles for Illustrious (or, at least, ones that search can find) I decided I wanted to make something. Preferring not to just train the style of a single independent and still active artist yet wanting something relatively consistent in style I decided I’d try training off the whole of a set. Since the early sets were absolutely not consistent, I asked elsewhere for suggestions on something relatively “normal” with consistent art direction and got Throne of Eldraine, which seemed a good enough pick. High data quantity and needing to test checkpoints meant I blew a lot of buzz making this, so please post your results to the gallery (this gets me extra buzz at no cost to you). Also check out my profile with X and XXX image visibility set to off (use the eye icon in top right) so you can see all the LoRAs (and some pictures in this model's gallery) I've made.
Trigger: E_L_D_S
Helps: traditional media, painting (medium) (neither was trained, but they both add a lot)
Checkpoint: PerfectDeliberate? (please offer suggestions for anything better. This style is outside my normal wheelhouse so I don't know checkpoint options for it)
Negative: Pelvic curtain
Trained on 295 card images from Throne of Eldraine and its Commander decks (notably I dropped Fervent Champion because his face is explicitly based on a real person). Primarily auto-label based with some curation. Since my image list was sorted by name, I made no effort to tag for color identity.
