This LoRA is an experiment in translating a 2D animated style into photorealism. Using cartoon image to image generation, I utilized targeted prompt engineering to generate photorealistic variations of the character while maintaining facial stability and feature consistency.

From that generation run, I curated a dataset of roughly 60 images to train this model on Marge Simpson of "The Simpsons (1989)" who is canonically in her mid 30s. This was a multi step process of training a beta model with a some images for facial consistency then expanding training content to the full 60 images. This specific version is trained at ~2,000 steps. Because the source material is a highly stylized 2D cartoon, the measure of success and interpretation of a "realistic" counterpart is inherently subjective. I welcome your feedback and test images!
