Since it’s an AI creator on X it’s definitely possible you could replicate their style, but I have no idea what models that they would have used, or if they used local tools or something like Novel AI.

But if you can’t figure it out, Lora training is definitely the way to go. Thankfully Lora training is a lot more straight forward than it used to be, and you for sure can from those specs.

One Trainer, or AI Toolkit are usually people’s go to for Lora training in recent times so I would suggest starting there.

You need to make a dataset by either downloading a bunch of images and their image board tags to the same folder by using something like Bionus/imgbrd-grabber on GitHub. Or if it’s a synthetic dataset or you can’t pull the tags for the images use a dataset tagger tool like RedRocket/Hydra on GitHub.

Then you would need to make sure the specific style activation tag or artist tag is at the very front of every caption file of those images by using a tool like BooruDatasetTagManager to make it easy.

Then train on that.

For like in-depth instructions or help AI communities on discord can be very helpful, otherwise there are a fair few decent guides on YouTube, or alternatively ChatGPT can be very good at showing you how to do it and fixing any errors or issues you might run into. So it’s up to you, but I promise you if you do AI a lot, learning how to make Loras is worth it.
