This is my first [SDXL] LORA creation.

I am planning to create a few character LORA models of Mythical Creatures that most people might never heard of.

"Samar" is a Javanese character that is actually a clown figure. Looks a little grotesk with a very pale white face, and a black body with an inmense belly "Some say,because it tried to swallow a mountain once."

The character is both female and male, appears as a god of the clowns and is the oldest in the Javanese Wayang Mythology. He acts foolish at times, but has great wisdom.

As everything has a first, it has to be "Samar" that is the first in line of LORA Mythical Creatures to be posted!

This model is trained on images of Wayang Golek (Stick Puppet) not on the Wayang Kulit (Shadow Puppet).

The diffrence is that shadow play puppets are flat and used in shadow theaters with gamalan music. The acts of shadow puppets are hisorical and mythical stories.

Wayang Golek puppets are more like marionette puppets (only with sticks instead of chords) and are often used as performers in ceremonial events like weddings to entertain the crowd outdoors.

These plays often are scripted with every day stories and are much easier to understand by the public.

This LORA is trained on the "Semar" character only! To give it a stronger resemblance.

Trigger words for the LORA are:

"wayang", "wayang_golek", "indonesian stick puppet", "semar"

"wayang_golek" would give the best results to come closest to the Stick Puppet as it was trained with images. If you want to use it as a style on faces "semar" would be best or just don't use any trigger words. "indonesian stick puppet" is a bit unpredictable in results.

LORA WEIGHT: 0.85 should do.

If you plan to use this Lora Character Model be free to do so. I only ask you to post your first result in the gallery below.

Thank you!
