🌑 Midna 👑 Twilight Princess, True Form 🌑
(Anima)

Twili princess in her true form, and one of the best designs Nintendo has ever put out. 🌑 This is the V2, retrained with AdEMAMix and focused hard on getting her face right.

V2 Update ⚡

Retrained with the AdEMAMix optimizer, and this pass was all about her face. True Form Midna has a very specific structure, long and angular with that distinctive eye shape, and the old version kept rounding her off into a generic pretty face. V2 holds the actual geometry across far more seeds, and the difference shows most on closer shots and three quarter angles where V1 was weakest.

Her asymmetrical legwear also comes through much more reliably now. One leg and foot fully covered, the other completely bare. That used to take real pushing and now it mostly just works.

If you have V1 installed, replace it.

Who she is 💜

Tall and pale blue skinned, red eyes on yellow sclera, with dark markings across her face. Black hooded cloak, bridal gauntlets, pelvic curtain, and pale blue markings running down one leg. Imperious, amused, and entirely aware she outranks you.

Tips 💡

• 👁️ The eyes are the hardest part and the most important. red eyes, colored sclera, yellow sclera all three together. Red iris on yellow is unusual enough that dropping any one tag collapses it back to normal eyes.

• 🔵 colored skin is doing real work. Without it she comes out with ordinary skin tone and the whole Twili look falls apart.

• 😐 Let the face come through on its own. Her structure is specific enough that piling on extra face tags tends to fight the training rather than help it. If she starts drifting generic, try removing tags before adding more.

• 🦵 Her legwear is asymmetrical by design. One leg and foot fully covered, the other completely bare. V2 handles this much better than V1 did, but it is worth knowing so you recognize it as correct rather than a glitch.

• 🖤 The cloak and hood frame everything. hood, black cloak and give it room to move. The contrast between the black cloak and her pale blue skin is the entire palette.

• 💠 The leg markings are pale blue and easy to lose on darker compositions. Tag them if you are doing full body.

• 🌙 Best scenes: twilight, dusk, ruins, floating stonework, cool blue and amber lighting. The game’s whole aesthetic is in that in between light and it suits her perfectly.

• 😏 Keep her superior. smirk, half-closed eyes, looking down at viewer. She is a princess with a sense of humor about it, and a neutral expression loses the personality.

• 🎯 Weight around 0.8.
