Disco Elysium Styles [4 Styles][PonyXL]

This LoRA tries to replicate the art styles present in Disco Elysium. See the "Usage" section and preview images for available styles.

This LoRA is quite experimental and focuses on expressionism and abstract art. If that's not your thing, you will probably not like this LoRA.

If you like the LoRA, please leave a reaction, review and/or tip. Enjoy!

Usage

• Use activation trigger, according to the desired style:

  • de_portrait: For character portraits
    Support tags (optional): oil painting

  • de_skill: For "skill" portraits
    Support tags (optional): black background, one of red theme or blue theme or yellow theme or purple theme

  • de_scenery: For wide shots of landscapes or cityscapes

  • de_thought: Replicates the "thought" images from Disco Elysium. Hard to describe. Very experimental and inconsistent results. Does well with low-strength ControlNet guidance.

• Recommended to use at strength 0.6 - 1.0 (start at 0.8)

• Use Clip skip=1 or Clip skip=2 (other values may also work, use at own risk).

• Works best at 1024x1024.

• No VAE needed. Use one according to your preferences and image contents.

• If you are using an AutismMix based model, use the autism version for best results.

Example

See preview images (generated with pruned version).

Unpruned vs. Pruned vs. Lite

I offer three variations of the model, which only differ in the file size and quality. Pick the one that best suits your preferences. If you cannot decide, simply pick the "pruned" version. Note that the quality is relative, even the lite version usually produces images which closely resemble the intended art style.

• unpruned: The originally trained model. Largest file size, best quality. Pick if you want the best possible quality, at the cost of disk space.

• pruned: Downsized model. Almost same quality as the unpruned version, with noticably smaller file size.

• lite: Drastically downsized model. Smallest file size. Still has good quality, but noticeably worse than unpruned and pruned.

Notes

This was mostly an experiment with different training settings and combining multiple art styles in a single LoRA. I think it turned out well, though the art styles do clash a little. But it's still more efficient than training 4 separate LoRAs.

I'm especially happy about the "skill" style. It's able to create some really nice images.
