Model description :
This is an attempt at an all-in-one lora for generating the monster girls of MGE, with a focus on customisability and being able to select the features you want individually. Refer to the taglist for more details, there's a lot of them. Not everything works perfectly, so good results may require a bit of experimentation at times.
Background info:
"MGE" Refers to the monster girl encyclopedia book series by Kenkou Cross. For more information, see the MGE wiki here . They've recently switched hosts, so some images may be missing until they finish uploading them. (NSFW warning, although this model's page is probably more explicit...)
"Non-entertainment" usage :
I've had my first question regarding legalities and commercial use, so: I am in no way affiliated with the creator, nor anyone involved in anything regarding MGE. This is a solo project, created solely for fun, which I've uploaded here because I assume other people will also enjoy using it. I haven't, nor do I intend to make any money with this beyond the buzz on this site, and I don't condone anyone else doing so*. I don't feel that strongly about it, and I appreciate being asked, just be aware that if you try I'm not getting involved in any disputes.
* So it turns out you can now exchange Buzz for real money ... This section was written in the context of external projects like pay-walled Patreon content, or using generated images in larger "commercial projects", both due to a lack of legal knowledge, and feeling like it oversteps a boundary with my personal ethics. I don't intend to change my stance on this, as I think the negative online perception around generative AI stems from the immediate rush to monetise it, and I think most "ethical concerns" would have taken years to be brought up, if ever, if things like ChatGPT remained as niche research projects.
That being said ... Buzz has been used to improve the quality of my models, and if I were to take advantage of this new system I would eventually be able to buy an Nvidia GPU for local training, which would significantly speed up any updates and improvements. (I'm currently earning the equivalent of around 0.80 USD per-day, from all my models.) If anyone has any input on this I'd love to hear it, as although on one hand I think it'd be hypocritical, I also feel like there's a difference between myself doing it with transparency, (although this is biased in my favour, considering I've spent months testing and tweaking things) versus someone else using it for five minutes, and uploading images to a Patreon account with a paid subscription.
Actual artists :
If any artists dislike the idea of their stuff being used for this (and you've drawn things from MGE), let me know and I'll avoid your work. I understand that AI is a very divisive topic, and I didn't make this with the intention of pissing people off. I've avoided actively reaching out because aside from being terrible at talking to, let alone approaching people in general, there's so many dead source links that I simply wouldn't be able to cover every person I've already used data from. This is more-so a thing for artstyles, because obviously impersonators will become harder to distinguish the better AI gets.
Reuploads:
I've decided to prevent unrequested reuploads of this (and my other stuff) on other sites as I've found the claiming process to be quite tedious, and there's little to no reason to allow it. I'll take direct requests for uploads, as if there's a reason to put it somewhere (say, for instance, a new startup has really good servers/features), then there’s a valid reason for doing so. I'm just not comfortable with stuff I've spent a significant amount of time making being spread to places I'm not aware of, nor people that did nothing to help benefitting from it. If you want to spread it elsewhere through links or something, go ahead, just don't reupload it to get yourself some free credits.
