Mimic style of "POP929"

"V1.X" dataset is weak for eyes generation, use Facedetailer

"V1.Y" dataset expands x2.5, higher definition and better tags, can do close up portrait without facedetailer

No trigger words, but depending your base model; Tags such as 1990s_\(style\) or flat_colors can greatly help to make the styling lora to "pop out"

About V1.Y check models details ---->

• Illustrious XL 2.0 V1.Y is trained on classic pattern 1024P / kohya / Official illustrious XL 2.0

• V2 ILL V1Y is trained using beta version of civit AI toolkit at 1536P with civitai illustrious base

• VETE is the locally trained lora, using VETE training checkpoint ; I believe this one is the closest to the artist styling. Start with 0.8 weight

Give both a try to see what does work the best for you, Illustrious XL 2.0 might be more flexible.
