I had a dreadful time trying to produce spartan style armor, muscled cuirass, and plumed helmets so after much frustration I created this LoRa to make things easier. It's not perfect but it does the job. Enjoy!

Try adding these to your prompt:

• spartan warrior

• spartan champion

• spartan hunter (can sometimes produce characters with hooded cloaks instead of helmets)

• spartan armor

• spartan helmet

• plumed helmet

• bronze cuirass

• spear

• shortsword

• shield

• [color] cloak

Downsides & limitations:

Will often produce helmet plumes oriented sideways (left to right) rather than oriented forward to back.

Every SDXL model I've tested struggles a lot to produce good faces behind the spartan style helmets, may be best to inpaint/face swap after initial generation.

If you encounter quality issues try adding these negatives:
