Elizabeth Bartley, Dracula's niece from the Genesis game Castlevania: Bloodlines. I haven't beaten it yet, but I do enjoy it. I've never been a Genesis man, even their best games always felt sort of off to me somehow, if you were an SNES kid maybe that makes sense to you, but I like that we get to take a break from both the Belmonts and Dracula and do something different, and they used several of the characters and ideas in sequels. I don't consider Erzsebet Bathory from Nocturne to be any relation, (and all they did was steal Drolta's name and slap it on their OC), but I always like Bartley's design, and not enough female villains in Castlevania videogames.
This was done from 26 samples, the concept art and official art which was a bit limited, and filled out with some AI gens. I can't promise unforeseen hiccups will NEVER happen, I think the issue was I forgot to rename one or two files that had commas in them, or it could have been civitai, who knows? Oh, and I can tell you right now the lora is going to default to making her really busty (she is actually, but then add on what AI does!), but if that bothers you (Or you're getting alot of yellow buzz stuff), neg out cleavage and big bust. At any rate, try something like:
1girl, bare shoulders, pearl or bead necklace, flowing red dress with straps, purple or orange wrap or shawl around arms, long detached sleeves. dark green hair or black hair with green tint, red eyes (really more like magenta), colored skin, either pale white or colored skin, lipstick
NOTES: Its pretty good about her skin tone! If you go with "pale white skin" you'll still get just the right amount of that kind of lilac tint she has, if you go "colored skin" its much heavier. I like the pale white skin because its got a bit of, eh, texture I feel like, but its your rodeo!
Odds are this one is unsalvageable. In the unlikely event works I'll update this. Always remember to update your file names before you upload, what can ya say. Oof, expensive mistake on my part. Its just shaping up to be one of those weeks and its only Monday
Well let me tell, you, I was real depressed when I saw those epoch results, 500 buzz isn't the end of my world, but it IS a lora or a full day of genning stuff easy, I guess it was just the previewer that was busted! I really thought this lora was a wash so I didn't add the keywords, but you can use my samples or those prompts above as starters.
Since it seems to be working, I do expect to handle an Kojima Ayami-esque style, greyscale, and color anime decently and about evenly. I would specify what you're going for though, traditional media, semi-realism, etc. Seems to greatly favor the colored skin look which is based off her actual game sprites (the official art favors the pale white skin), but just specify what you're going for, shouldn't fight you too hard. ALSO, I've never had a lora that insisted on keeping candles till now! Lora after lora of medieval stuff, and always with the electric lamps, but not this one!

Very nice, I love the hair color and the backgrounds that generated with this.
I started with your suggested tags as a base, picking out the choices i felt fitted best, then i tested some things and tidied it up as i do (posted some images if anyone wants the tags i settled on).
I stuck with 'pale white skin' for the most part, then i tried 'pale skin, (lilac skin), for the last one which does have a nice look to it in my opinion, and 'see-through shawl,' works nicely too.
Thanks a lot for this model, I plan to revisit it when Halloween comes around!
Glad to be of service and looking forward to your Halloween stuff. It always takes me a day or two to get my prompts straight on new loras but it's handling minimalist pretty well, I've got some great style mix stuff with her that just needs tweaking I'll post later. I'll probably do at least another Castlevania before Halloween. It's like a yearly tradition, I say I'm gonna finish chapter 2 of my Castlevania fic and I put it off another year
@topside_johnny I would have messed around with different styles but i like the base look too much! I might try a few the next time around. I'd imagine 'painting /(medium/), painterly,' would suit the Castlevania style well, maybe alongside 'watercolor /(medium/),' or 'oil painting /(medium/),' I look forward to seeing what you come up with though! :)
@NeilSylver I used it with that pony watercolor style, but I need to prune my prompts to know how much is the lora doing the lifting, I always do things lazy first 'fore I sit down and put in the effort
@topside_johnny Ah right. I generally don't stack lora's together at least when i'm testing out a character, preferring to showcase what a model can do on it's own, using medium/style tags instead. It worked great for me on it's own btw, even when i started pulling tags out of it.
