Please read through the entire description (might need to be expanded) and the version change notes as they cover a lot of information about basic use cases and limitations. The description is always focused on the latest version. Thank you!
This is an SD 1.5 LoRA for the character Dawn / Hikari from Pokemon. It works for models based on SD 1.x only, it will not work for models based on SD 2.x or SDXL!
Example images were picked from base resolution txt2img results + the FreeU extension (https://github.com/ljleb/sd-webui-freeu) enabled with default settings to further improve results (see last example images for a comparison of FreeU disabled vs enabled). They were then re-created at 2x resolutions using txt2img with moderate Hi-res Fix settings (upscaler Lanczos, denoising strength 0.4). This improves faces and other details that are almost impossible to get correctly and consistently at base resolutions (limitation of the technology) while still giving a realistic impression of what it looks like. Base resolution results will have more distorted faces and less detail.
Please see the version change notes for the training and example image generation models as well as the used weights as they might change between versions. Remember that you might need to adjust weights to best suit your use case!
Remember to add the tag dawn \(pokemon\) (with backslashes intact) to your positive prompt.
The training set contained multiple variations of Dawn's signature look (not including alternate outfits for now, sorry) so you might need to put combinations of the following tags in your positive or negative prompts to get the desired results:
beanie
bracelet
duffel bag
hairclip
knee boots
kneehighs
poketch
scarf
skirt
sleeveless shirt
As the training set also contained a few images with floating bits, you might need to add the negative prompts floating hair and/or floating scarf if not desired.
Known Limitations / Problems:
The bag and boots were not present in a lot of images and not a focus for the training so they sadly will not be consistent at all.
Same goes for the bracelet and poketch but they might be a bit more recognizable from time to time.
The beanie pattern needs a bit of luck to get correctly (sadly seems very difficult to train correctly).
Eyes and hair had different colors (blue and black) in the training data, better to specify explicitly.
You might also need to prompt for specific clothing colors from time to time, don't really know why yet.
Depending on the clothing, framing etc. it may be more or less difficult to remove the beanie. I recommend a negative prompt with additional weight as well as specifying a hair color, e.g. blue hair in the positive prompts which seems to help. Still, that beanie (especially its pattern) really wants to be there.
The kneehighs might sometimes result in two parts, the kneehighs themselves and a separate part at the thighs, leaving the knee exposed. No idea what causes that, it might help to put thighhighs or clothing cutout in the negative prompts.
