This model creates Tellarites from Star Trek.
PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION for background & usage
Suggested weights: 0.5-0.8
Background: Tellarites have gone through three major designs I'll categorize as follows:
1) TOS era - these were very basic prosthetics and due to brow results in photos with deeply sunken in eyes. This model cannot easily reproduce the "cheap Halloween mask" look of TOS
2) ENT era - Wrinkly skin, beards. This model can do pretty well on that.
ENT usage: tellarite (man/woman), pig nose. For males add in "facial hair, beard, mustache" to create that shaggy dwarf look. If you are getting tusks add "tusks" to the negative prompt.
3) DISCO/SNW era - Similar to ENT but they added in warthog tusks.
DISCO usage: tellarite (man/woman), pig nose, tusks. For males add in "facial hair, beard, mustache"
WARNING ON TUSKS: Tusks look good but their placement can be very problematic. You will likely need to produce multiple images before the tusks are placed roughly in the right positions and roughly symmetrical. Usually out of 5-10 images you should get one that has decent tusk placement. If you are creating blonde hair Tellarites be advised that the models like to transform hair into tusks/horns resulting in unusable results.
This isn't a very stable LoRA due to the incredibly low amount of quality and variety of source training images. I will likely do a 2.0 but that is going to drift away from canon due to it being mostly populated generated images instead of screenshots/upscales of television stills and production photos I normally use.
tl;dr: This is a tricky LoRA due to the wildly different "looks" of Tellarites so be patient and plan on generating more photos than normal and having to tinker with it a bit to get it looking good. Apologies for the troubles.
