Notes krea2:

1. The LoRA has issues with braid length; sometimes it turns out too long. It might be best to avoid the "long braid" tag and stick to just "braid."

2. Her blades are non-canonical.

3. The ornaments along the edges of the helmet were mostly tagged as "spiral shell ornament." However, the "shell" tag evokes unpleasant associations with the shape of a seashell. I would avoid using it entirely now, but I don't want to retrain the LoRA. It is better to use "white spiral ornament" instead.

4. This is the second attempt to create a version of this LoRA for krea2. The first, unsuccessful attempt distorted other characters and helmets—an issue particularly noticeable when Ciaran appeared alongside Artorias the Abysswalker. I redid the captions from scratch, a process that took a very long time. This version includes a detailed description of her helmet, the central emblem, and the ornamentation on the sides. The "helmet" tag has been replaced with "headwear" to minimize conflicts with Artorias's helmet. While the LoRA still isn't perfect, it causes far fewer issues now. However, one downside is that it doesn't pair well with the Solaire of Astora LoRA; it distorts his helmet and exposes his face.

5. The LoRA dataset contains many images featuring both Ciaran and Artorias together. I even added a few separate images of Artorias so the model could better distinguish between them.

May help:

white mask, blue headwear, girl no hat

Notes:

1. Ciaran's weapons are two different daggers, but they don't render very well. Instead of two distinct daggers, drawning something generic, a jagged yellow dagger.

2. There's a lot of art featuring Ciaran and Artorias. I tried to include these images in the dataset. The tags "artorias_the_abysswalker" and "1boy" were used whenever Artorias appeared in a scene. The details of Ciaran and Artorias appearances often blend, but sometimes it works out quite well.

3. Nightreign added fan service in the form of a battle with a void-stricken Artorias, as well as a skin for the Undertaker character—Lord's Blade Ciaran. It's a good opportunity to recall the sad and heroic story of Artorias and Sif, Ciaran.
