My first Lora, it's the Kig-Yar Ruuhtian, the Jackals from Halo 2 and 3.
It was a persevering process due to limited time, and previously failed attempts.
V1 is anime 2D style, for V2 and especially V3 can generate realistic and photorealistic images, use embeddings and style loras for better results.
I tested several attempts and the generated 3 fingers and 3 toes are good and resembles the "alien" kig-yar designed, without using embeddings for hands.
Recommended weight 0.8-1 and a CFG around 5-7
From V2 the beak is long and sharp in most seeds, the mohawk has less thick hair than V1
In this Lora the Jackies use the human weaponry since danbooru doesn't have accurate tags for covenant weaponry, for the needler there is a Lora by schmede; for the Beam Rifle use my Lora https://civarchive.com/models/2527806/beam-rifle-halo
V3 Trigger Phrase: kig-yar_ruuht, lizard, alien + bird boy OR bird girl OR 1other
Trigger Phrase: kigyar, ruutian, anthro, alien, scalie; for V2 alien, scalie are not used, scalie prompt tends to "shorten" the beak, use freckles and avian
Additional Tags: beige tan, [COLOR] scales, [COLOR] crest OR mohawk, elbow tuft, freckles, beak, energy shield, glowing shield, weapon, [COLOR] futuristic armor, scifi armor, armored feet or sandals, three fingers, three toes, in V2 now armor parts can be added separately.
The V3 is trained with 1152x1152 and reduced by 1/3 in size and rank to clean any artifacts and colour bleeding. V2 resolutions up to 1280x1280, so no duplicates should appear up to this resolution.
Dimorphism: Males are heftier and more muscular, have longer and sharp mohawk, females have shorter and curvy head feathers, (in the Halo Lore most of them are bald), I inpainted the back of their necks, shoulders and forearms with darker, thicker scales since those form a natural armor during the mating (males often bite the back of the females).
LORE: The Kig-Yar evolved from saurian ancient creatures into bird-like in the tropical moon world of Eayn orbiting the Gas giant Chu'ot in the Y'Deio HD 69830 system 41 light-years distant from Earth. From the Ancient times they were a fragmented society in several clans and faction ruled by matriarchs, the richer kig-yar are dedicated to trading and smuggling techs and weaponry, the Humans were actually their best partners before the Covenant-UNSC War. The majority of the Kig-yar however prefer engaging in piracy and mercenary missions, bounty Hunts and scavenging forerunner artifacts.
Description
New Trigger World: kig-yar_ruuht, lizard, alien
Tips: Weight strenght between 0.8-1, CFG at 5-6 works better since prompts are stronger in this version, increase resolution above 1024 for more details, for face Init Image or segmenting face works better without creating strange halos or artifacts. 1152 is the best res to see the correct number of 3 fingers and 3 toes, (use also fewer digits, extra fingers in the negative).
V3 is made with 87 images, about 20 of those are NSFW to properly display the dimorphism, fixed the colour bleeding and granular artifacts by reducing Rank and Lora size, there is one issue for style bleeding that I tried to fix in these weeks by properly tagging: photorealistic, realistic, anime coloring, western comic (style), in the Negative put blurry background, depth of field. Use any style Lora to compensate for that.
Dimorphism: for the Kig-yar with armor, cuisses, armored legwear, sleeveless bodysuit I tagged 1other in the training especially for angles and views (from behind) when gender features are not visible. In the Halo Lore males bird boy have longer, sharp quills (mohawk) and are more muscular and hefty; while females bird girl have shorter hair, sometimes are even bald (I only reduced the lenght of quills and make them more curvy), I inpainted the nape, the shoulders and the back of the forearms with darker and thicker scales since those are a natural armor the females have for mating (kig-yar males often bites the back), if those don't appear use freckles, scales
