These are my rough attempts at a character LoRA for Emmrich Volkarin from Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

V3 I tried to further refine the training tags, being more selective with training images, and trying to improve the background options by including scenery shots in the training.

• I tried training for hazel eyes (instead of brown), as I noticed I sometimes see green in-game, so I wanted it to be more accurate.

• I tried to training for both gray AND black hair (as well as the multicolored hair tag) since his hair definitely still has patches of black/dark gray so i felt just having a gray hair tag wasn't accurate.

• The likeness is consistent and the bracelets/glove are still random at times but not too terrible.

• The mage staff...is a nightmare to work with on the more realistic checkpoints (like homosimile) but it seems "okay" on 2D checkpoints (like AutismMix and the Pony V6 checkpoints).

I recommend keeping the LoRA strength around 0.7-0.8 and CFG between 4-7.

An adetailer is also recommended for the more zoomed out shots.

V3 main tags are as follows:

e_volkarin, mature male,  hazel eyes,  mustache, grey hair, black hair, multicolored hair, very short hair

optional - add "muscular" to negative prompt if he looks too bulky (especially in NSFW or shirtless shots).

V3 outfit tags are as follows:

green vest, yellow shirt, bracelets, multiple rings, single red glove, red waist sash, tan pants, red boots

V3 optional tags:

staff, garden, cemetery

The settings I used for my V1 generation testing were 4-7 CFG, 20 steps, Euler A - Automatic using Forge.

V2 (clip skip 1) I tried adjusting the training tags and also added more images to the training to make the LoRA more versatile when used with 2D and 2.5D checkpoints.

I recommend keeping the LoRA strength around 0.8 and CFG between 3-5.

An adetailer is also recommended for the more zoomed out shots.

V2 main tags are as follows:

e_volkarin, mature male,  hazel eyes,  mustache, grey hair, short hair

V2 outfit tags are as follows:

green vest, yellow shirt, bracelets, multiple rings, single red glove, red waist sash, tan pants, red boots

V2 optional tag

staff (weapon)

The settings I used for my V1 generation testing were 3-5 CFG, 20 steps, DPM++ 2M - Karras using Forge.

V1 (clip skip 1) was my first attempt for this LoRA and generates decent results but not necessarily the greatest (the mustache sometimes comes out thicker than it should be).

I recommend keeping the LoRA strength around 0.8 and CFG between 5-7.

An adetailer is recommended and you may also need to add "fingerless gloves" to negative prompts and "closed mouth" to positive prompts.

V1 main tags are as follows:

• e_volkarin - (subject tag)

• mature male

• hazel eyes

• mustache

• grey hair

• short hair

• optional tag - "closed mouth" - you may need this if he keeps generating with an open mouth as if he's speaking.

V1 outfit tags are as follows:

• green vest

• yellow shirt

• collar chain (jewelry)

• gloves - (you may need to add "fingerless gloves" to negative prompt if the red glove keeps rendering oddly)

• red waist sash

• tan pants

• red boots

• optional tag - "staff"

The settings I used for my V1 generation testing were 5-7 CFG, 30 steps, DPM++ 2M - Karras using Forge.
