Sangheili - Halo [PDXL Update]

4/12/2024 PDXL Update:

I updated this model for use with PDXL. Please see the "About this version" section to the right for details. It's pretty much the same model, just trained on better tags, at a better resolution, and with a better optimizer. Technically, PonyDiffusion is already trained on a lot of sangheili art, but it isn't quite perfect, so this lora will help a lot with the more tiny details like their mouth and armor. Hope you enjoy.

-Teeth are seemingly always there, so consider putting "teeth" in negative, or use "closed mouth". Using "open mouth" will show off the teeth a bit more as expected, which is cool

-Using Adetailer might help greatly with the faces/mouths, but I never had a good chance to test this extensively

Older Description:

Wort, wort, wort... It's the Sangheili, from Halo!

This is a lora trained on a whopping 291 hand picked images of the Sangheili alien race from the Halo series! It was trained on mostly digital art, with a little 3d content in there, too. It wasn't trained on any specific character, but just the race in general. I'm quite satisfied with the results of this lora, mostly because there are so many different... depictions of sangheilis online, and this model captures most of them. It was trained on e621-style tags, so use those when trying to prompt - I've included the tags in a .txt file in the "Training Images" download below.

It works pretty well with most .ckpts, however, since it was trained on e621-style tags, it might be ideal to use a model that is trained on a furry art. I would recommend using the Lawlas's Mix. It gave me great results and I used it for most of the example images.

NOTES:

-It can also do their armor pretty well. You can change the color of the armor pretty easily, too.

-Their weird little mouth appendages are a bit inconsistent, and they have a hard time expressing themselves because of it, but if you emphasize certain emotion tags enough it'll work

-It was trained on a fair amount of male sangheilis too, so it can do those just as well as female ones.

-It somehow gets the weird toe and finger alien anatomy pretty well.

Example prompt: (See example images, all images should still have their metadata. Just drag the images onto the PNG info tab and import it.)

Waaaaaahhhhhh!!!
