Turian (Male + Female) - Mass Effect Concept Lora - PonyXL

Ahoy!

Realized nobody has made a Turian Lora for Pony and considering I trained another easily recognisable alien, I thought I might as well give this one a try. And oh boy, I actually ran into trouble with this one.

I lost count of versions because I was stubborn and didn't want to train a different lora for male and female while also being the first time I deal with multiple datasets at once. Training the sexual diamorphism of the Turians turned out a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, and even this version itself isn't perfect after a lot of trial and error. There is also some vegetation bleed but I'm not entirely sure from what exactly, having manually tagged and pruned each image of the two datasets about six times in total.

The longer 'horns' of the male turians seemed to persist no matter what, so I ended up offloading them on the "horns" tag. Sometimes female bodies may appear a tad bulky too or masculine sometimes, because well, being bird/reptiles they don't really have boobs without them being prompted but even then it's abit random if they show up. Other than these hiccups it works pretty well. Might try again some other time to fix them.

NOTE! STRONGLY ADVISED TO PUT THE OPPOSITE TAG + GENDER IN THE NEGATIVE PROMPT.

• Appearence is customizable, you can strip them off entirely, give them different pieces of attire, etc. Nude is the tag for a more accurate depiction of their naked form. Armor, jumpsuit gives the classic turian armor, which you can color however you like, as well as the facepaint.

• Use realistic, photo in POSTIVE prompt to get a digital painting look. Avoid 3d tag in general as it creates really ugly results outside of photorealistic models, they look like bad 3d renders - Depends on the model though, some pony derivatives give great results.

• As a more general tip, use score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, score_6_up, score_5_up, score_4_up, (the full string) for details. If you a put realistic, photo in NEGATIVE prompt it will give you a more anime look, and if you put in score_9, or score_4_up, alone, you will get a more flatcolor sort of look. Don't be afraid to play around with it.

• Put grass, vegetation, leaves, etc in the negative to get rid of the vegetation bleed if it pops up. I will have to go over it all in V2.

• Note! The tag is different in the training data, it has the testing epoch number behind it. Edit it if you want to replicate my results.

MALE: METurianM, 1boy, alien, horns, armor, jumpsuit

FEMALE: METurianF, 1girl, alien, armor, jumpsuit

Note: For armor, it's best to also add jumpsuit because it MIGHT give you a sleeveless version if you don't. You might want that. Dunno.

(Options: armor color, facepaint, skin color, eye color. Highly advised to put the opposite Tag and Gender in the negative prompt for best results. Check my images for ideas maybe, but I'm not very creative with testing for some reason...)

Remember: If you do anything lewd with them... No swallowing. And be mindful of chafing.
Enjoy and post your favorite results!
