Thom Merrilin - Wheel of Time

⚠️ Disclaimer
This LoRA is not based on any real person. It was generated entirely using AI prompts derived from The Wheel of Time novels by Robert Jordan, combined with artistic inspiration from book covers and medieval aesthetics.
No real photographs were used. This is a fan-made interpretation of the fictional character Thom Merrilin. Full disclaimer at the bottom.

To get his Gleeman's cloak, add "Gleeman's cloak" to the prompt. (maybe not as necessary in the SDXL version. Don't forget the trigger word, Thom Merrilin, in SDXL)

Shout out to @Heim777 and @Prog420ress for help providing dataset images for the SDXL version.

This on turned out being the hardest to create yet, due to his age and unique mustache and gleeman's cloak that AI generators just refused to play nice with. I spent hours inpainting away stray hair, regenerating, img2img, sifting through failed gens and on and on. I started over from scratch many times and tried many different methods until over a week later I finally got something that seemed to "stick". Hopefully this initial FLUX version does not disappoint.

-This LoRA is not intended to resemble any real person, living or deceased.
No real photographs or celebrity likenesses were used in the creation of this model.

This character was created solely through prompted image generation, using a combination of:

• Descriptions found in Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series

• Narrative cues and imagery from official book text

• Inspiration from classic book cover art (such as Darrell K. Sweet and Michael Whelan)

• Generic medieval visual language

The training dataset was generated entirely using AI image tools, guided by natural language prompts referencing Thom Merrilin, a fictional character from a fantasy novel.

This project is an act of fan expression, intended to reflect the book-accurate interpretation of the character—not any real-world likeness.
