8/26/2025 Illustrious Update: Now with... 0.485% more Ivy?
Finally retrained on Illustrious with a much better dataset. It has gone from 205 images... to 206! HOWEVER, I redid a substantial amount of the dataset, replacing lower quality images with far, far better images that are more 'on-model' so-to-speak since Ivy has tons of art now. ...Too bad most artists draw her horns wrong 💢(Only one of her horns are supposed stick through her hat, not both). I think her model in-game has recently changed, but not enough for this to be currently inaccurate as far as I know.
Trained on Illustrious with tags ripped from E621, it seems to work well with NoobAI models, though.
Notes:
Her 'tail ornament' is far, far easier to generate with this version thanks to the better dataset. Try generating it!
Both of her horns still stick through her hat with most generations... The models seem too bent on doing 2 horns... Oh well, maybe some day.
Old (Ponydiffusion-Era) Description:
9/21/2024 Update: Now with 98% more Ivy!
Retrained with nearly double the original dataset. The original was 108 images, this version is 205! It's astounding how much fan art this character is getting online. Only thing I changed was turned off 'flip augment' during training and increased step count to get a slightly more accurate Ivy. Enjoy better Ivys in your gens, fellow gargoylsseurs! 🥂
Old Description (Still very relevant!):
It's Ivy, from Valve's (Unreleased) Deadlock!
This is a lora trained on a 108 hand picked images of Ivy fanart. It was trained on exclusively digital art. It was trained on e621-style tags, so use those when trying to prompt. It was trained for 8,000 steps (39 epochs) at 1024x1024 resolution on PonyDiffusionV6.
The model seems to get her rat-goblin-like stature pretty good. The only thing it struggles with is the end of her tail, either it'll generate it, or improvise a random shape (see notes). All my generations were at 1.0 strength, but feel free to lower it if you want her less rat-like.
NOTES:
-See example images for good tags, but generally you want: "ivy \(deadlock\), deadlock, valve, gargoyle, female, 4 fingers, anthro, big ears, black hair, bottomwear, clothed, clothing, facial piercing, fangs, female, hat, horn, nose piercing, nose ring, suspenders, tail, teeth, topless, wings, tan body, short, tail ornament" ...if you want her 'default' look.
-Ivy has a green... thing on the end of her tail. Try using the tags "tail ornament, tail accessory" to help with it
-She has vines (ivy!?!?) growing on her arms. They seem to generate naturally at normal 1.0 strength, but can be prompted manually with some luck with "bracelet" or similar arm-accessory tags.
Gargoyle Fun Fact:
In folklore, gargoyles are thought to ward off harmful spirits, their wide open mouths symbolic of devouring giants ...They were also thought to act as a reminder of the hell that awaited anyone who did not attend church.
Dang, Google, that wasn't a fun fact at all!
