Hello everyone! I'm back again and with good news :P
I did promise to upload at least once a month and somehow I did not manage to do it.
But to make it up to you: 75 lycoris, 75 loras and 75 embeddings have landed few days ago in our MEGA .
I had to pay for the next year so that we don't lose what we have there and that I can still upload new stuff and it should be working without issues.
And regarding that new stuff. I've been testing various training options and I've successfully trained some Flux loras in the quality that I feel is up to my standard :)
You can already see a couple of those Flux loras in the MEGA link. I decided to keep the same tokens ('sks woman' / 'sks man'). Flux still has similar issues with concept bleeding as SD1.5 (maybe not as much but not enough to warrant completely unique tokens).
I will keep training lycoris/lora/embeddings so do not worry about that. I'm adding Flux but I will still want to train the requests made by you and some of my ideas. But there will be a higher focus on Flux in the coming weeks (which has already started).
As for SDXL - I will be only training it when someone explicitly requests it. The way I see it is that many people still use 1.5 SD but if someone wants to go with the progress (and can, hardware wise) then they would first migrate to SDXL and afterwards to Flux.
I will be uploading Flux models along with other releases but I'm also trying to do at least one Flux upload per day on Civitai so some of the Flux models will appear sooner there so you may want to pay attention to https://civitai.com/user/malcolmrey as well as MEGA :-)
Regarding requests, I'm trying to fulfill them (there are some new prio requests added to the list based on the messages you left me when I was away, I will start handling them very soon :p).
I do however have a problem with Sylvia Gutierez as I can't get enough samples for her, I would appreciate some contact with the original requester so that we could deal with it somehow :P
Cheers and have fun!
