Lu Bu (呂布)
Lu Bu is widely regarded as the most powerful and feared warrior in the Dynasty Warriors franchise, consistently serving as the ultimate martial challenge for players. Often referred to as a "one-man army," he is defined by an unmatched arrogance, a thirst for combat, and a complete lack of traditional loyalty, famously betraying his superiors to seek out greater glory or power. His personality is dominated by a ruthless, ego-driven nature; he disdains the weak and lives only for the thrill of the fight, believing that true strength is the only law worth following. In gameplay, he is iconic for his massive Sky Piercer halberd, his imposing black armor with long pheasant feathers, and his legendary steed, Red Hare. His presence on the battlefield is usually accompanied by his signature theme music and the warning to "not pursue Lu Bu," marking him as a force of nature that transcends the political squabbles of the Three Kingdoms.
This is a LoRA of the character "Lu Bu" from the Dynasty Warriors videogame franchise. Made using 104 pictures consisting mainly of his appearance in Dynasty Warriors 8. It includes his casual wear from Dynasty Warriors 9, and his DLC costumes from Dynasty Warriors 7 and 8 respectively. The base model for this one is Illustrious.
I don't own this character and all rights are reserved by Koei Tecmo.
Out of request for a friend, and as a personal goal, here's Lu Bu. I was surprised no one had done him before, but then again DW isn't that popular in the western. Hopefully, one more model and I should be done to take a break for several months. Break from models, I mean.
