SMW2: Yoshi's Island Influence

I am admittedly kind of a noob at this, but if you enjoy my humble work, any donations are greatly appreciated: https://ko-fi.com/insult_to_ninjary

Your generosity helps me stay motivated to keep improving and to keep trying new things!

***NOTE: For best results, please use one of the 2 suggested base models with this LoRA: AniDosMix or Koji. Of course you can experiment if you want, but I tried this LoRA with many different base models, and unfortunately it's kind of picky. The vast majority of models didn't work very well. :(

With that out of the way, this LoRA was trained to make art that looks like the SNES game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. But interestingly, the results you get usually won't look exactly like gameplay screenshots from the game. Instead, you'll get this neat crayon/doodle effect on your art that is very reminiscent of the game's art style, but with a bit of a modern twist provided by your base model.

If you're having trouble getting good results, here are some tips:

1. If you're not noticing any effect from the LoRA, switch to one of the 2 recommended base models (AniDosMix or Koji). Alternatively, you could try gradually increasing the weight of the LoRA. In theory that should help out, but I haven't tested it extensively.

2. If your images are coming out too landscapey, with either really small characters or no characters at all, try gradually decreasing the weight of the LoRA. The 2 recommended base models work ok at the default weight of 1, but you could also lower it to probably around 0.7 or 0.8 and still get some nice results.

3. Use a VAE, especially if your chosen base model doesn't have one baked in!

4. Upscale or use Hires. fix with a quality upscaler.

If you make anything awesome, please consider posting them to the gallery! That goes for all of my LoRAs! I really like seeing what kind of stuff you all are able to make!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I will try my best to help! Also, if you have any ideas for future LoRAs, please don't hesitate to share them with me!
