What are the key factors you consider when selecting or training an AI model for generating high-quality artwork in a specific style or genre?

Usually, when I use too many details, the images aren’t as accurate or realistic as I want them to be. For better results, I use fewer details and shorter prompts.

I focus on,

High-Quality Data: Using a well-curated dataset that matches the desired style.

Model Suitability: Choosing an AI model that excels at creating detailed, style-specific artwork.

Fine-tuning: Adjusting the model with targeted training to align with the specific artistic requirements.

Creative Flexibility: Ensuring the model allows for customization and control over the outputs.

These steps ensure the artwork is both high-quality and true to the intended style.

When selecting or training an AI model for generating artwork in a specific style or genre, I focus on understanding the project's purpose and the style I’m aiming for. The quality and relevance of the dataset are critical, as they directly influence the output. I also consider the capabilities of different AI models, as some are better suited for intricate details, while others excel in creativity or adaptability. Fine-tuning the model is essential to align it with the desired style, and I always test and refine the outputs to ensure the results meet the expected quality. It’s a balance of technical expertise and artistic vision.

I have trained more than 20 Loras with Flux1.dev model. All I need is Just 10 Clear and Sharp images of the subject. Flux model tends to lose detail if it is over-trained. I use 1000-1500 steps and it gives me better results.  I use Florance-2 and Joycaption for captioning. 

When training LORA?  Definately use atlast 25+ images from different angles, every inch of your body/head should be in those 25 images. good volumetric light. if possible 3-4 face expression.
If possible no glasses/shades/bangs anything in the face and only decent makeup.
Important: High resolution files, so AI can actualy see eyes and all face lines, if you  zoom in the images and eyes are blurry, AI also wont be able to reproduce them correctly.
If possible, "object" in real life situations and under different light conditions, that would give another nice touch and flexibility to creations with the LORA.

If its the product, it also needs to basicly be captured 360° in atlast 20+ images. good volumetric light, no weird shadows.
