Intro
Hi guys! Hope you're doing well!
This is my first time training a LoRA, and I did my best to make König look like this (https://www.tumblr.com/soulmateai/812604773658443776) headcanon model of him, which is the most accurate to the "real" König I found (with "accurate to the real one", I mean this - https://ar.pinterest.com/pin/443604632064115795/- leaked image of his face model)
To be honest, I would have liked him to be a little more "rugged", with scars and all, but sadly I wasn't able to train the model that way :(
Still, I hope you like him as much as I do! Overall, I think it turned out pretty well!
Important!
Most images, maybe excluding portraits /closeups, were enhaced with Remacri and ADetailer for better results. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU DON'T WANT A DISFIGURED FACE IN A FULL BODY SHOT!!
Settings
I trained the model with the "Noctilux Males V1.0" checkpoint, so it has a pretty realistic look.
I tried A LOT of settings to see which gave me the best result, and this is what I figured:
For a realistic look:
Checkpoint: Noctilux Males
Sampler: DPM++2
Scheduler: Karras
Steps: Between 25 and 30
CFG: I mostly used 5 or 5,5
For something more "anime" or less realistic:
To be honest, I tried everything to gen something more animated without using another LoRA, but it was pretty difficult. So my recommendation is that you use a checkpoint like HomoSimile XL or Indigo Furry Mix XL (personally, I used NoobAI_EPS_Ⅹ_10 and I liked it) and mix it with an Style LoRA. Also, I noticed that using Euler Ancestral with the Normal scheduler gives a more polished skin, so that may be useful.
Prompt recommendations
Positive
k0n1g, scars, face scars, freckles, stubble, buzz cut(Euler Ancestral gives better results for scars than DPM++2, but I HIGHLY recommend using a LoRA for scars. Personally, I use "Maki Zenin Scars for any Character" since I like the results it gives!)
Negative
young, boyish, polished skin, perfect skin
