Can you run Krita +ComfyUI for Style References on the cloud?

[mattcat55]

Hi, I've been trying to do some research on setting up a custom art workflow, but so far I haven't been able to find anything that quite works for what I'm looking for.

Basically, I've been using midjourney for some art ideation, and I'm very happy with the style reference and image reference features, but I'm looking for more interactive editing and control over composition.

I've been looking at Krita ai, and the live painting workflow is exactly what I want, but it seems like style referencing is much more cumbersome, and to the extent that it's possible at all would have to happen through ComfyUI. If that's the best option it does look doable, but I'd like to be able run the model on the cloud, and I can't figure out if you can run Krita+ComfyUI with a cloud service, or if you can only do the default Krita models with no LoRAs/style referencing.

I've been trying to figure out if a workflow like that is possible, but I can't quite wrap my head around it, so any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Style reference is pretty straight-forward, see https://docs.interstice.cloud/control-layers/#-style---composition

The built-in cloud does support reference image and Lora too (but no custom checkpoints). You can do your own cloud setup, but it requires some tinkering.
