Small Update (Not very important, long read)

TLDR: Firefly will be postponed a bit. the reason is not important, but if you want an explanation you can read the rest. Tonight will be Maria from Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian.

Hello!

I am here to give a small update for the people who were interested in Firefly.

First some context. My base model was last updated somewhere around February. This causes some characters to work natively with only my base model (Ayaka and Keqing are good examples), but most characters I did either don't have enough data in the model even though they came out before February or they straight up don't exist in the model. I have to add those characters by using something called Lora's (just extra data basically). This comes with the downside of potentially having an impact on artstyle, Ruan Mei is a good example of when it changes the artstyle a bit (I have a small understanding now of why it only does it sometimes, but can't explain it).
There is one creator however whose Lora's work perfectly for me, but he obviously doesn't have every character ever made (he does have an insane amount of Lora's available though, like multiple thousands). I could pay him to do Firefly, but I want to keep that as a last resort xD. So for Firefly I have tested multiple Lora's from different creators.

This is currently what I have for her. It is a good picture for sure, but it just seems "different" in my opinion. Tomorrow I'm going to try to train my own Lora for her (or at least do research to be able to do it somewhere next week, I have already prepared a list of multiple articles and videos to aid me). Hopefully that can fix my issues I have with it.

Today I'll probably do a post about Maria from Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian.
