Canvas Straitjacket IL

This is a LORA trained with Illustrious XL as the base model to generate characters in straitjackets.

Now I was in two minds about posting this. You know, I use these mostly personally, so as long as it works for me, that's all that matters. But when publishing them, I need to consider other cases. The thing is, this model doesn't behave too well with NoobAI vanilla. It works perfectly well with Cat Tower, which is the model I've been using recently.

But with NoobAI or other models, it generates ugly, 3D-looking images, often burned and fried. Why? I don't know. It was when I tested it with WAI-NSFW-Illustrious-SDXL that I decided to post it, because this one also shows anime-style images.

I actually train these LORAs with real images, because finding GOOD anime illustrations of certain fetish items like a straitjacket is really hard - many artists don't pay that much attention to detail (I'm a really crappy artist on pixiv, but attention to detail of bondage gear is something I do pay!).

But with real images, the model has a tendency to... well, generate real looking images. Cat Tower and WAI seem to be exceptions and they do generate anime looking images without having to do some heavy prompting. For other models, my testing has shown that adding many danbooru tags will eventually "persuade" the model to generate anime images, using for example a DART-based model to expand the prompt. Using artist tags usually helps get rid of the 3D-ness.

All in all, I'm providing this as is. It works for what I want to use it for, and seems to work fine with Cat Tower and WAI. For any other IL models... I can't vouch it'll work. However, using real life images to train it on has a big advantage, which is I am able to give the images a unique look - because existing art isn't that good at detail, I can do that with the LORA.

I trained the model on a dataset of around 300 images manually captioned. I've tried to train it on all sorts of angles, but your mileage may vary. I used around 25 epochs to train it on. I did a test with 15 epochs but the model was still fried in NoobAI, while not capturing some details, especially the shape of the arms under the jacket. So I settled for the 25 epoch model.

Instructions

The trigger word is straitjacket_IL_v1 and it will also expect canvas straitjacket in the prompt. For the neck stripe that many straitjackets have, you can use color, such as "red neck stripe" or "yellow neck stripe". Crotch strap is also another tag I used. It seems to mildly influence the generation. Probably best to put in the negative prompt if you want some seggs in your images.
