We've been refining our digital art style through careful prompt crafting, exploring diverse illustration methods, and iterative image refinement. This ongoing journey draws inspiration from various artists and integrates elements of our unique artistic vision.
In our experimentation with illustration styles, we've explored techniques like training a Latent Diffusion model (like LoRA) on our own generated images. This involved meticulously crafting prompts to achieve a desired aesthetic, then curating the results to further refine the style. By incorporating artistic influences and our own creative approach, we were able to achieve a unique artistic direction.
