Joining Marvel Comics in 1987, Lee skyrocketed to fame with his work on The Uncanny X-Men, where his partnership with Chris Claremont birthed iconic characters like Gambit and Omega Red. His distinctive style also influenced the acclaimed X-Men: The Animated Series.</p><p>In 1992, Lee co-founded Image Comics, showcasing his visionary talent with titles such as WildC.A.T.s and Gen13. Transitioning to DC Comics, Lee's tenure saw him contribute to seminal storylines like "Batman: Hush" and "Superman: For Tomorrow".</p><p>Jim Lee's work is characterized by bold, dynamic compositions, intricate linework and larger-than-life characters that leap off the page. This LoRA is inspired by his iconic aesthetic. See below for guidelines.</p><p></p><h3 id="heading-7395"><span style="color:rgb(250, 176, 5)">v1 Guidelines</span></h3><ul><li><p>Base model: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/257749/pony-diffusion-v6-xl">Pony XL</a></p></li><li><p>Requires the tag: "<strong><em>in j_lee artstyle</em></strong>"</p></li><li><p><strong>CAUTION:</strong> This LoRA is focused on reproducing the artist's style, which in Lee's case is already an incredibly detailed and intricate concept to train. It has a very limited knowledge of characters. <strong>Adding a character's name will only garble the generation results! </strong>If you're not using a character LoRA you can focus instead on listing items, clothing, traits, etc.</p></li><li><p>I highly recommend using this LoRA alongside other <em>Pony XL </em>character LoRAs. Use this LoRA at a weight of <strong>0.7-1</strong> and the character LoRA at a weight of <strong>0.5-0.8</strong>, depending on the model. There's a list of some good ones below. Character LoRAs can also provide some stability to anatomy and clothing generation.</p></li><li><p>Black and white images make up half of the dataset. Lee is primarily a line artist. (Credit goes to <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://www.instagram.com/sinccolor/">Alex Sinclair</a> for the coloring and <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://www.instagram.com/scottwilliamsinks/">Scott Williams</a> for most of the inking in the dataset.) The LoRA can recreate quick sketches, pencil work, or full ink compositions. To get black and white, use these two tags together: "<strong><em>monochrome, greyscale</em></strong>". You can aim for pencils by using the tags: "<strong><em>pencils (medium), graphite (medium)</em></strong>". You can aim for inks using the tag: "<strong><em>ink (medium)</em></strong>" or "<strong><em>inks (medium)</em></strong>".</p></li><li><p>Some other very useful style tags (<em>with dataset representation as a percentage</em>): "<strong><em>traditional media</em></strong>" (<em>37%</em>), "<strong><em>hatching (texture)</em></strong>" (<em>9%</em>), "<strong><em>retro artstyle</em></strong>" <em>(9%</em>).</p></li><li><p>Lee has also done a few works in watercolor, included in the LoRA. The style can be recalled with: "<strong><em>watercolor (style)</em></strong>".</p></li><li><p>Check the example pics in the model carousel for more hints about generation parameters!</p></li></ul><p></p><h3 id="heading-7396"><span style="color:rgb(250, 176, 5)">Some character/clothing LoRAs (must use Pony base):</span></h3><p><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/363964/xmen-blue-uniformtraining-outfit-pdxl?modelVersionId=406690">Xmen Blue (Uniform/Training outfit)</a> by <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/user/duskfallcrew">duskfallcrew</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/385485/harley-quinn-batman-the-animated-series-1992-ponydiffusion-xl">Harley Quinn</a> by <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/user/Sfmlover22">Sfmlover22</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/371445/jubilee-or-x-men-97-pony-xl">Jubilee</a> by <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/user/ClamJam">ClamJam</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/322036/mystique-x-men-ponyxl-character-lora">Mystique</a> by <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/user/guy907223982">guy907223982</a></p>

modelVersions.description: <p>This version specifically replicates the style of Jim Lee's artistic output at Marvel from 1989 to 1992. During this period, Lee worked on <em>The Uncanny X-Men</em> and launched the adjectiveless <em>X-Men vol. 2</em>. He redefined the style of these iconic characters, designing new uniforms and creating artwork for a celebrated set of 105 X-Men trading cards. His rendering style for the X-Men later inspired the TV show <em>X-Men: The Animated Series</em>.</p><p>This version doesn't require any trigger words.</p><p>Please see the LoRA usage guidelines below.</p>
