Chuckie Finister (Rugrats)

Continuing with creating LoRAs of every (core) Rugrats character, the 2nd in the series is Chuckie Finister!

How was this model trained?

The Illustrious version was trained with the base Illustrious model via CivitAI. Training steps of 2000 and a epoch of 10.

The Pony version was trained with the "AutismMix Confetti" model.

Just like my Angelica LoRA, Training data was redrawn from existing official art in 1024x1024 at 300 dpi. No fan art was used.

Training steps of 1200 and epoch of 2.

Recommended settings

Illustrious

This should work with most IL models. More examples soon. Feel free to try out your favorite model and post your examples.

Start your prompt with the following:

1boy, solo, child, male focus, green shorts, blue shirt, purple-framed eyewear, freckles, buck teeth, orange hair, messy hair, yellow socks, red footwear

Danbooru-style tags were used to train this model. I haven't tested it on natural language, but feel free to experiment.

In ComfyUI, the strength_model in the load LoRA node should be at 1 and strength_clip at 2 for show accurate generations. At about .70 or lower, it will confirm to the model. Keep in mind, not every model follows this. My testing so far shows a show accurate generation works best with the base Illustrious model.

Pony

I usually start a prompt with the following:

score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, score_6_up, score_5_up, score_4_up, source_cartoon, BREAK, rating_safe, BREAK ChuXL, a little redhead boy with messy hair, freckles, purple glasses, buck teeth, blue shirt with red collar, green shorts, yellow socks and untied red sneakers,

Lora was tested in ComfyUI. I can't say if this will all work in A1111. May need to do more testing with that since I don't use it that often these days.

A strength_model from .75-1 and strength clip of 2.00 should yeld show accurate generations. Recuding the clip to 1 and model below .50 should stick to the model/LoRA style.

I recommend pairing with a style lora and embedding.

A lot of models from 'Styles for Pony Diffusion V6 XL (Not Artists styles)" work best. Smooth style looks nice.

The Pony PDXL Negative Embeddings works well.

Some weirdness

Occasionally, the LoRA generates double pupils in Chuckie's glasses and Saturn on his shirt doesn't come out right, especially with Pony. For Pony, using a different resolution outside of 1024x1024 tends to make him look a bit older. If you want it that way, I recommend doing that, adding "child" in the negative prompt should help. You could also use the tag "1girl"...if you want.

Misc

Going forward, all future LoRAs I create will be for PonyXL only. No more 1.5 and no more SDXL.

These models are NOT available on the Civitai generation service as I do not own the rights to this character, thus can't make it available for commercial use.
