About this version

### 🐉 Larry Elmore Style Model - Version 2 (V2)

Welcome to Version 2 of the Larry Elmore style LoRA! This version has been completely rebuilt from scratch to capture the legendary, nostalgic 1980s high-fantasy D&D and Dragonlance book cover aesthetic with maximum fidelity.

The flat, digital "cartoon look" from V1 is completely gone! The first version suffered from over-smoothing and flat colors due to legacy AI upscalers (like ESRGAN 4x). For V2, the entire dataset was meticulously re-curated.
