I recently moved completely from Illustrious to Anima, and honestly I've been having a lot of fun with it. The model is really good!The only problem I ran into was Nokotan.She was already recognizable most of the time, so it wasn't like the model couldn't generate her. Sometimes it would add an ahoge, but that was easy enough to fix with a negative prompt. The part that kept bothering me was her hairstyle. It always looked just a little different from the anime, and after trying different prompts for a while, I couldn't quite get the result I wanted.I looked around to see if someone had already made a LoRa for Anima, but I couldn't find one.So... I made one. 😅At first it was just because I wanted it for myself, but then I thought, "Well... if I needed it, maybe someone else does too." So I decided to upload it instead of keeping it only on my PC.This is actually my first public LoRa. The only one I had trained before was for my own OC, Chloe, and that one was never meant to be shared.<h2 id="dataset">Dataset</h2>I generated the dataset using <a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1762957/milky-dreams-illustrious?modelVersionId=2885543">Milky Dreams - Illustrious 3.0</a> together with the <a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1038038/noko-shikanoko-or-my-deer-friend-nokotan-illustriousxl">Noko Shikanoko 鹿乃子のこ | My Deer Friend Nokotan [IllustriousXL] </a>LoRa.The dataset has 21 images in total.<ul><li>15 with Nokotan's original anime outfit.</li><li>6 with different outfits, just to give the training a little more variety.</li></ul>I also went through the images manually before training to make sure everything stayed as consistent as possible.<h2 id="recommended-settings">Recommended Settings</h2>Weight<code>1.0 ~ 0.7</code>Character Trigger<pre><code>Noko Shikanoko \(Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan\), green eyes, antlers, brown hair, short hair, hair between eyes</code></pre>Default Outfit<pre><code>white serafuku, blue neckerchief, blue pleated skirt, white socks</code></pre><h2 id="final-thoughts">Final Thoughts</h2>This LoRa wasn't made to change anime style.I only wanted Nokotan's hairstyle to look closer to the anime, because that was the one detail I wasn't completely happy with.Hopefully it'll be useful for other people too. 💚And since this is my first public LoRa, I'd really love to hear what you think! If you have suggestions or run into any issues, feel free to let me know.Have fun generating Nokotan! ✨
