Chris Sawyer Style (Furry Art) (Illustrious) (AD)

This is an Illustrious style lora furry artwork made by Chris Sawyer. The lora is meant to replicate the style of his artwork. Not to be confused with the game designer, Chris Sawyer is a furry artist active from the late 90s and early 00s. Back in those days traditional art was done much more than digital art for drawings still, and many of his works were done by hand with pencil and ink.

He is one of my favorite furry artists 25 to 30 years ago, and his work is one of the kind that inspired my own artwork style. The manner in which the animal aspects, usually the head, seamlessly blends into a humanoid body that is muscular, with the muscular proportions neither too much nor too little. By comparison with other art styles, it was semi realistic and had a believable look to the characters during a time when other artists made their works comedically out of proportions or too cartoony. The postures, expressions, and body weight looked subtle and often not overly done, with fine crisp lines and excellent line weight.

A weight of 0.8 to 1.25 works well with this with most models. Sampling Steps of 15 to 35 works well with most models, as does a CFG Scale of 3.5 to 7.5.

If one wants the monochrome drawings Chris Sawyer often did, since he only ever colored a few of his drawings, one can add the prompts ( monochrome, illustration, black and white, traditional pen ink drawing, traditional media, ). Otherwise the result would be colored and rendered with shadows, depth, and highlights.
