These are various LyCORIS-type style loras based on Illustrious-style checkpoints. This is mostly meant for space saving purposes and also to export various styles back to the base Illustrious/NoobAI/Rouwei checkpoint where the inbuilt artist styles are going to be usable/more accurate than the finetune/merge.

Please see the sidebar on each version for the original model and the usage instructions. The styles here are going to vary by quite a bit so I'm not going to bother listing all of them in the description. Example images displayed are not cherry-picked and utilize the prompts and seeds from the checkpoint example page in order to show off how accurate or not the LyCORIS is to replicating the style of the checkpoint. However, I may throw a few of my own prompts in there to pad out the image count, those will usually be generated with the same set of seeds to reduce variability.

Some of the cross-posted images may involve utilizing these loras at a lower weight than 1.0 and the mixing them. This is generally what I do and you could consider that the intended usage but it's totally up to you. Usage instructions are whatever works the best for your workflow. In any case, all the example images will be the LyCORIS at base 1.0 weight with no other loras mixed to show off how it looks and not my or anyone else's loras mix.
