I present my Illustrious character LoRA for James Vega from Mass Effect 3.

V1 is my initial version and produces decent results. I did not tag the tattoos in the training (I got fed up with how unreliably random they are) yet somehow managed to make a decent epoch that comes close to being semi-consistent with them.

You may need to add tattoo to your positive prompt in some cases but I only seemed to mainly need it when he's in his uniform/main outfit in order for the arm to generate a tattoo. This will also vary depending on what checkpoint you use.

I had fewer issues with HomoSimile IL than I did with HomoSimile NAI (my main IL checkpoint that works fine with my IL LoRAs) when it came to tattoo consistency.

Recommended LoRA strength: 0.7-0.8

Also, I use an adetailer in my generations for this LoRA.

V1 main tags are as follows:

jvega, 1boy, brown hair, very short hair, dark skin, brown eyes, stubble, muscular

V1 outfit tags are as follows:

dog tags, grey uniform shirt, t-shirt, tattoo, uniform belt, uniform pants, uniform boots

V1 optional tags:

tattoo, bara

The settings I used for my generation testing were 3-5 CFG, 20-30 steps, DPM++ 2M SDE - Karras on Forge with an adetailer (face_yolov8s).
