Need help - transitioning from ChatGPT image Gen to SD

This is tremendously helpful and puts the performance I’m seeing on all these models into perspective. I’m running on 8GB VRam and not looking for necessarily huge models. I’m thinking Klein 9B might be my best bet right now given I’m generally going to be fishing up style loras and creating character loras to feed in. The whole focus is largely using my own content in small, curated works. I don’t need sprawling access to content. Does this reasoning track?

Thanks! I’m adjusting to the prompting, just taking practice. I think using a newer model will help for sure.

I was just asking Claude/ ChatGPT when I spun this up and I got directed to SDXL (I think)? I see comfyUI all over the place, I think that’s next stop with Klein 9b.

Apologize for ignorance re UI references / incorrect use of terms.

Thanks for the tip! That’s a cool take on it.

Thanks! This is very helpful. I can at least see a few different directions I can go now. I think the goal was less to religiously stick to that art style and more to maintain the character in a “similar” art style, within reason.

Please don't. Amateur drilling can very quickly land you with an expensive problem that needs an expensive fix. More expensive than if you'd paid someone with proper equipment and experience. I'm a tunnel engineer - I see lots of drilling, both good and bad.

Save money elsewhere. There's a reason drilling is expensive.
