4 easy ways to train LoRAs for consistent characters in Leonardo, Runway, EverArt, and FullJourney

Training LoRAs to create consistent characters seems hard, but what if you used a bunch of selfies and became the star of your own AI videos or social posts. I compared four different services that let you train your own image generator: FullJourney, EverArt, Leonardo, and Runway. This is how you can create consistent characters in AI: ethically training a generator on yourself!
🧐💰SUMMARY AND PRICING (nothing is sponsored)
My overall pick for this is FullJourney because you can train multiple LoRAs plus generate unlimited images and 4 second SVD videos from those images on their $10/month Founders Image Only Plan--this is the best AI deal in town.
If you're only looking to generate images, EverArt has the best resemblances to the original and their Creator plan is $15 for 200 images. Leonardo's free plan is great, but it would just take longer because you only get 5(?) Alchemy generations a day and you need Alchemy to get good results. Runway has some other amazing tools that I love but their image trainer is not Runway quality yet.

for leonardo, generating with finetuned models works best with alchemy on, but prompt magic off. you can even give it a picture in image guidance with those settings (again make sure alchemy is on but prompt magic off) and it will more or less paste your face into the picture. also train with 2.1 (even though it suggests 1.5). 2.1 gives better results in my experience. ticking the high resolution toggle works fine too, even though it warns you it may give strange results (it never has for me)

[@indiemusicvideoblog]

So you don’t have to train it, you can just add 1 image in guidance?

[@spacekitt.n]

@@indiemusicvideoblog no you still have to train it. it has to know the face to put in the output. like this vid says, it needs a good variety of angles and lighting...it will still do its best, but the more you can give it the better chances of success you'll have. and if your dataset has pictures very similar to the image in image to image, you'll probably have even more success. I dont know, others might have a different experience thats just what ive found, ive tested like 20 different models with every setting.

[@indiemusicvideoblog]

Fantastic. Thank you

[@aivideoschool]

This is super helpful, I'm going to give it a try later. Thank you!

[@spacekitt.n]

@@aivideoschool yeah prompt magic adds another step in the process that completely changes things--im not sure how but whatever its doing, it mixes in your trained dataset with another dataset it seems. you can turn it on and get some good creative results but it just takes more tries to get something good that resembles things in your dataset. and if you do turn it on, keep the value low, like .3. either way, on or off it will take a bunch of tries to get something good--though when you do, its magical

[@greeny2146]

great conten dude! helpful stuff everart looks dope

[@aivideoschool]

Thanks for watching!

[@piggywahwah]

wow fantastic, really love these in-depth walkthroughs, very nice vid :)

[@piggywahwah]

oh and that everart pricing is just off the scale??? wot the hell? It just says $50 starter now???

[@aivideoschool]

They went crazy with the pricing! I wonder if people are using it for AI influencers or something. That's too much for what it does for most users.

[@piggywahwah]

@@aivideoschool Yea, gutted,
i even checked leonardo and it doesn't do img to vid? i click on the gen vid button and it has no option for load image??
That looked really interesting.. doubly whammy 😣😣

[@bunnystrasse]

So which one has the best quality of LORA?

[@aivideoschool]

In terms of best quality of likeness, I'd say EverArt has a slight edge over FullJourney, but FullJourney lets you experiment more. In terms of resolution quality, EverArt lets you upscale 2x or 4x but you only have a few upscales in the lowest tier plan I used.
