Lately I've been feeling a little nostalgic towards the style I had in some of my older gens (namely ones from around the time of post #129513, post #129519 and post #129220). At the same time, despite really having looked forward to the LoRA I use in my current style, I've started to get a bit fatigued of some of its' quirks. With that said though, there are still some thing about it I like, so I thought of going back to my old style, but throwing the LoRA in there at a reduced intensity to see how it'd turn out.
In truth it's not actually that different from my current style. My older style used 3 artist tags (technically 4, but turns out one of them was a red herring that didn't work) with 2 LoRAs and the shiny_skin tag, because I liked it at the time. My current one is those same 3 artist tags, but with those 2 LoRAs and the shiny_skin tag replaced by that single LoRA I mentioned, at 0.8 intensity. Both of them also have different lineart-related tags, but that's irrelevant since the result is the same, it's just that I found a more consistent way of doing it now.
For the test itself, I've decided to gen sets of 5 images with the same T2I seed, where the only differences between them is the intensity of the LoRA. I couldn't decide between 0.2 and 0.4 intensity, but upon recieving some feedback, I decided to go with 0.4 intensity. I also ended up removing the shiny_skin tag because it was a bit much when combined with the LoRA.
I picked Tenkai-chan as one of my subjects because an anon had suggested using her as a test dummy for new styles in the thread, which I quite liked, but wasn't too sure about due to her being a little inconsistent to gen (and requiring a LoRA to help with the consistency, which will always inflict some style bleed). This one didn't work out all that well as a test.
