    About the Artist

    Franklin Booth (July 8, 1874 – August 25, 1948) was an American artist known for his detailed pen-and-ink illustrations. His unique style was formed by his early practice of copying wood engraving illustrations. His skill as a draftsman and recognizable style made him a popular magazine illustrator in the early 20th-century.

    The LoRA

    This LoRA was created using 40 high-resolution scans of some of Booth's best work and can add interesting line-shading effects and other aspects of Booth's style to your images. It's a work in progress, and feedback, including suggestions, is welcome.

    Settings

    • Dimensions: Bigger images will generally require lower strength - at lower resolutions it seems like SD is combining lines into a gray blob. 512 in either dimension should be a minimum, and if you can do 768+ (with or without "Kohya Shrink Wrap"), you will likely get better results.

    • CFG: the lower the CFG, the less strength you will need to see the effect. I suggest starting at 3.5 and going down from there if possible. 6 is probably the highest I've used with this.

    • Fighting/Working With the Style: the more old-timey, pen-and-inky, and realistic your prompt is, the lower the strength you will need. Concepts with a lot of round shapes will need a higher strength. If you add "black and white engraving" to your prompt it's usually like adding +0.5 to the strength without losing image quality, so give that a try if the strength gets to high and your image is suffering

    • Strength: taking all that into effect, you will usually need a weight of between 0.5 and 1.5 to get a good effect with this LoRA. Start at 1 and see how it goes!

    Compatible Models

    This LoRA should work with a very wide variety of models, although it will likely not work well with models trained exclusively on amine (if there are models out there trained on manga I'd bet it would work well with them, though).

    It's been tested and has created some good images with the following models:

    Description

    More reliable, usable at lower strengths that alpha version.

    Settings

    • Start with strength between 0.75-1.25 depending on how far your prompt is from old-timey style. Things with a lot of roundness especially will need higher strengths.

    • The lower the CFG the more effect the LoRA will have, start at 3.5 and go down if you can.

    • Add "black and white engraving" if higher strength causes picture quality to go down.
