For v1, skip this part and scroll to bottom]Overview<ul><li>Purpose: This version replicates Jim Lee's X-Men style from 1989-1991. Whereas v1 is trained on art that spans the breadth of Lee's career.</li><li>Scope: It focuses on Lee's art style, not the X-Men characters themselves. Tagging character names won't work; use separate character LoRAs if needed.</li></ul>Prompting Tips<ul><li>Black-and-blue Shading: The "black hair" tag now automatically produces the distinctive comic book black-and-blue shading</li><li>Character Poses: Lee often draws characters with "clenched fists." Use the "clenched fists" tag to improve hand drawing quality.</li><li>Art Style Tags: Use "traditional media," "hatching (texture)," and "marker (medium)" for style accuracy.</li><li>X-Men Specific Tags: Useful tags include "muscular," "bodysuit" (mainly blue, yellow, or red), "gloves," "superhero," "boots," "skin tight," "cape," "leotard," and "domino mask."</li><li>Negative Tags: Use "border" to avoid unwanted borders in the artwork.</li></ul>Drawbacks<ul><li>X-Symbol Overuse: The LoRA tends to generate the X-symbol frequently, especially when prompted with superhero, bodysuit, or belt-related tags.</li></ul><h3 id="heading-7394">Bio</h3>Jim Lee, a comic-book artist, writer, and publisher, commands a legendary status in the world of comics. Joining Marvel Comics in 1987, Lee skyrocketed to fame with his work on The Uncanny X-Men, where his partnership with Chris Claremont birthed iconic characters like Gambit and Omega Red. His distinctive style also influenced the acclaimed X-Men: The Animated Series.In 1992, Lee co-founded Image Comics, showcasing his visionary talent with titles such as WildC.A.T.s and Gen13. Transitioning to DC Comics, Lee's tenure saw him contribute to seminal storylines like "Batman: Hush" and "Superman: For Tomorrow".Jim Lee's work is characterized by bold, dynamic compositions, intricate linework and larger-than-life characters that leap off the page. This LoRA is inspired by his iconic aesthetic. See below for guidelines.<h3 id="heading-7395">v1 Guidelines</h3><ul><li>Base model: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/257749/pony-diffusion-v6-xl">Pony XL</a></li><li>Requires the tag: "in j_lee artstyle"</li><li>CAUTION: This LoRA is focused on reproducing the artist's style, which in Lee's case is already an incredibly detailed and intricate concept to train. It has a very limited knowledge of characters. Adding a character's name will only garble the generation results! If you're not using a character LoRA you can focus instead on listing items, clothing, traits, etc.</li><li>I highly recommend using this LoRA alongside other Pony XL character LoRAs. Use this LoRA at a weight of 0.7-1 and the character LoRA at a weight of 0.5-0.8, depending on the model. There's a list of some good ones below. Character LoRAs can also provide some stability to anatomy and clothing generation.</li><li>Black and white images make up half of the dataset. Lee is primarily a line artist. (Credit goes to <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://www.instagram.com/sinccolor/">Alex Sinclair</a> for the coloring and <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://www.instagram.com/scottwilliamsinks/">Scott Williams</a> for most of the inking in the dataset.) The LoRA can recreate quick sketches, pencil work, or full ink compositions. To get black and white, use these two tags together: "monochrome, greyscale". You can aim for pencils by using the tags: "pencils (medium), graphite (medium)". You can aim for inks using the tag: "ink (medium)" or "inks (medium)".</li><li>Some other very useful style tags (with dataset representation as a percentage): "traditional media" (37%), "hatching (texture)" (9%), "retro artstyle" (9%).</li><li>Lee has also done a few works in watercolor, included in the LoRA. The style can be recalled with: "watercolor (style)".</li><li>Check the example pics in the model carousel for more hints about generation parameters!</li></ul><h3 id="heading-7396">Some character/clothing LoRAs (must use Pony base):</h3><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/363964/xmen-blue-uniformtraining-outfit-pdxl?modelVersionId=406690">Xmen Blue (Uniform/Training outfit)</a> by <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/duskfallcrew">duskfallcrew</a><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/385485/harley-quinn-batman-the-animated-series-1992-ponydiffusion-xl">Harley Quinn</a> by <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/Sfmlover22">Sfmlover22</a><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/371445/jubilee-or-x-men-97-pony-xl">Jubilee</a> by <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/ClamJam">ClamJam</a><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/322036/mystique-x-men-ponyxl-character-lora">Mystique</a> by <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/guy907223982">guy907223982</a>
