Meet Marvin: Your New Favorite Edgelord (Illustrious-XL) 🔥

Hey everyone! Super excited to finally share my new custom character LoRA for Illustrious-XL — Marvin.

Whether you need a brooding dark knight in heavy plate armor, a gothic vampire, or just a handsome guy chilling on the beach in a Hawaiian shirt,

I trained it specifically to lock in his unique looks while giving you total freedom over his wardrobe and art style (it works beautifully with anime, 2.5D, and semi-realistic checkpoints!).

🔑 The Triggers

I purposely separated his genetics from his outfit so you have complete control over the generation.

rty1mrv — The core character trigger. This bakes in his signature black-and-white split hair, striking red eyes, pale skin, and facial features.

rty_armor — Summons his canonical dark plate armor. This tag instantly pulls up the black metal, gold trim, spikes, and runes.

⚙️ Recommended Settings (The Sweet Spot)

LoRA Weight: 0.8 - 1.0 (Pro-tip: Keep it at 1.0 for his signature armor. If you're putting him in unconventional modern outfits or mixing with heavy semi-realism, dropping the weight to 0.8–0.85 gives you maximum flexibility).

CFG Scale: 6

Steps: 28

Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras

💡 Prompting Tip:

This model loves Danbooru-style tagging. Stick to comma-separated keywords rather than long descriptive sentences for the sharpest results.

I can't wait to see what you guys create with him. If you get some cool generations, definitely drop them in the gallery below! Enjoy! 🦇⚔️

🤫 A quick side note: I haven't tested him in NSFW scenarios, but feel free to give it a shot and see what happens! 😈✨
