Merle (メルル) from the 2020 TV anime "Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai" (Toei Animation).

RECOMMENDED

Weight : 0.9

Base model : WAI-Illustrious SDXL v1.7 (any Illustrious / NoobAI checkpoint should work)

Sampler : euler_a, CFG 5

Hires fix : 0.32 denoise

★ Do NOT put cel shading, watercolor, painterly, soft focus or muted in the negative.

They cancel the flat TV-anime shading this LoRA carries. I lost a whole day to this.

PROMPT (core)

merle_yt, 1girl, solo, very long straight black hair, blunt bangs, sidelocks,

purple headband, blue forehead gem, reddish brown eyes, gentle smile,

orange dress, long sleeves, off-shoulder, yellow shawl, purple belt, long skirt

NEGATIVE (what I use)

sketch, lineart, monochrome, greyscale, worst quality, low quality, blurry,

bad anatomy, bad hands, extra digits, text, watermark, signature, 3d

crystal ball, silver headband, yellow dress <- she gets confused with other characters

STYLE LoRA (optional, recommended)

For the 2020 TV look, stack my style LoRA dai2020b at 0.4.

★ That style LoRA was trained on the show's own footage, so it carries the show's faces.

Above 0.4 it starts pulling her face toward other characters. Keep it low.

TRAINING DATA (being upfront about this)

30 frames cut from the 2020 TV series, hand-picked after machine filtering (ccip).

Trained with kohya on Illustrious. No AI-generated images in the set.

Samples: all use the style LoRA at 0.4, except the last one (character LoRA alone).
