This is my attempt at a Pony LoRA of Ardbert Hylfyst from FFXIV.<hr />V3 is my attempt to clean up the pose/body tags. I also wasn't happy with how rough his hair looked in the previous versions so I tried to be more selective on my training images.V3 main tags are as follows:<pre><code>ardbert_ffxiv, 1boy, brown hair, blue eyes, goatee</code></pre>V3 armor tags are as follows:<pre><code>fur-trimmed collar, fur-trimmed pauldrons, armor, fur-trimmed gloves, tassets, black, pants, fur-trimmed boots</code></pre>V3 optional tags:<pre><code>axe, blood on weapon</code></pre>You can try using "axe" in the prompts but it has been very random/inconsistent with all of my generation testing. You can also add "blood on weapon" if you want the axe to be bloody. Recommended CFG: 0.6-0.7 All my of generation testing for V3 was done in Forge on CFG 4-6 using DPM++ 2M SDE - Karras at 20 steps and I was using an adetailer.<hr />V2 (clip skip 1) is my second (attempt after learning a LOT more about training tags) so I did a better job at identifying indoors/outdoors (on the training images) as well as labeling specific parts of the armor and such. The faces on V2 generate fairly well but I recommend using an adetailer to clean it up.I changed to clip skip 1 because I've been finding a lot of my realistic LoRAs don't look very clean on clip skip 2.You can try using "axe" in the prompts but it has been very random/inconsistent with all of my generation testing. You can also add "blood on weapon" if you want the axe to be bloody.V2 main tags are as follows:<pre><code>ardbert_ffxiv, male, brown hair, blue eyes</code></pre>V2 armor tags are as follows:<pre><code>fur-trimmed collar, fur-trimmed pauldrons, armor, fur-trimmed gloves, tassets, black, pants, fur-trimmed boots</code></pre>All my of generation testing for V2 was done in Forge on CFG 5-8 (the sweet spot tends to be CFG 6-7) using DPM++ 2M SDE - Karras at 30 steps and I was using an adetailer. I had to keep it between 5-6 CFG for some of my NSFW testing.<hr />V1 (clip skip 2) was my rough first attempt at training an Ardbert LoRA. The armor is pretty consistent on generations but the axe can be very hit/miss. I also used an adetailer for most of my testing but occasionally I was able to turn off the adetailer if it was a close-up shot.V1 main tags are as follows:<pre><code>ardbert_ffxiv, mature male</code></pre>V1 optional tag:<pre><code>bara</code></pre>V1 outfit tags:<pre><code>fur-lined armor, fur-lines gloves, pants, fur-lined boots</code></pre>You can try using "axe" in the prompts but it has been very temperamental with all of my generation testing. You can also add "blood on weapon" if you want the axe to be bloody. I also noticed that (with realistic checkpoints) it likes altering his facial hair, you can put "mustache" in your negative prompts if you don't want him to have hair on his face other than his chin. You can also just add "facial hair" to negative prompts if you just want him to have a shaven face.All of my testing was done in FORGE on 6-8 CFG, Euler A - Automatic with 30 steps. I also highly recommend using an adetailer (though, on rare occasion, had to turn off the adetailer on some checkpoints when doing close-up shots).
