Matariki Aotearoa (New Zealand Fantasy Warriors) XL

Matariki Aotearoa Fantasy Warriors

"BUT DUSK THESE ARE JUST PEOPLE"

No, my good friend, the intention of this concept and the way it was trained was inspired by the stories of MATARIKI, the Taniwha and many other stories of Aotearoa. For the uninformed, Aotearoa is the MAORI language (or original) name for New Zealand.

This is not the END of this Lora's journey, now that we have this version TAGGED and trained, we will likely be RE GOING THROUGH the text files and re-tagging it manually as we have time.

In order to produce certain FACIAL Tattoos on models that may work with it you will need to do the following:

MAORI, PASIFIKA, POLYNESIAN (These influence a lot of how the designs work even though there is like a TON of data on Maori patterns and my tagging sucks so there's that)

FACIAL TATTOO, MOKO, CHIN TATTOO, BODY TATTOO, TATTOO

To those of you that see this that are of MAORI or PASIFIKA DESCENT:

1. Stable Diffusion won't do what you ask it no matter how well you train it if it's 1.5

   1. The dataset WAS YES INDEED a little dash peppered with other cultures and other mediums to get the WARRIOR fantasy vibe.

   2. If your model doesn't do other skin types, this will not help you, for some strange reason even if you do the DARKEST OF SKINS, it may not do it. Don't complain if an anime model "DEEMS RACIST" because the lora won't provide your dark skin you need, no matter WHAT you tag with some models it won't do anyhting but a specific skin color cause ANIME. XD

   3. ... Also i've lived in NZ for over 20 years, I know roughly what the Taniwha is, I know that Matariki didn't USED to be a public holiday, and because i'm white AF i've never been on a Marae. (Weirdly nor have i ever been on an american native reservation, not even a casino in the US I think lol.)

   4. As for "LEGALITY" if you feel your art has been compromised, and wish to have any compensation, It would be better for me to donate to either the current JDRF fundraising, or a Maori or Pasifika natured charity. I myself am trying to make a non profit around several things, and if you peek at my website, maybe we can have an open conversation around this. No art in theory should be compromised, if anything 99% of the time I always attempt to put my best foot forward where need be (eat teh rich style of course lol) - and either put my art in, or do my best to source things that aren't of independent nature.
