Overview

A lora that aims to replicate MTG artist Chase Stone's style. I'm a huge fan of Chase Stone, if I had to point to a single artist and name them the most skilled artist in the world, I'd name Chase Stone. I would describe his art style as being highly rendered, his lighting is near photorealistic, and yet you can still tell that it's composed of brushstrokes.

With that being said, I wouldn't say that this lora has fully captured Stone's art style. Not that this is a poorly done lora, mind you, it's just the tech isn't there yet (nor will it probably ever get there, without a complete change in model architecture.) There isn't a lora or image model out there that can recreate an artist's style with 100% fidelity.

Trained using a Runpod 5090, Krea2 Raw as the base model, 32 images and Automagic v3 using Ostris' AI toolkit. I attached a .json file containing my Ostris AI toolkit training settings if you'd like to copy my settings and train your own lora.
