PRODIGY | ORIGINAL CHARACTER | ORIGINAL ASSETS | SD 1.5 | XL | Dirty Robbie's OC
for sd 1.5 he just shows up in realistisc models, but he can be everything even girls. Some models require weight 1.0 to summon him properly - reason I made the XL version.
True Prodigy version is because I love him and wanted this time his face fixed, not random as the others, about weight 0.8 seems good enough. Captions used were the same for Flux - natural language and long sentences.
for SDXL 0.7 or Upgrade versions weight about 0.8 to 1 with SDE at 10 ~15 and CFG 4 ~5 is a good start. They are not so focused on him, but rather on the style and his prodigious abilities.
Ah, his default is truly SFW. Although as all my toons, odds are he will get horny - they always do! lol
And am going to have to update, I've just noticed that his images on a skateboard and rollerskate for any unknown reason (reads I'm not the most organized person in the word, sowy) have not been upped into his dataset, such a shame! I'll fix that later, as I plan to train him for XL as well. ☺
Okay, I pushed the break. Added those missing images - he has large numbers of images on his dataset. But now I'm happy. From what I've seen it will take about +1h30 ~ 2h of training. Whew! Anyways now he will be perfect, I mean his repertoire will be.
I always wanted a toon ready to punk and to chav my other toons, then it started slow and the idea grew up. Unfortunately I didn't have time to remove those pesky laces or cords, but it's likely that it will be done later.
He is still in the bakery's oven, unfortunately I couldn't either make use of those EXCEPTIONAL COGVLM tags, then we will have to make it do with only BLIP as he is realistic, although even if he were anime I would keep CLIP for it's sorta universal. I had trained some toons with booru and they don't kick on many base models, then... it's, say, personal preference.
At this point he is just at his first epoch and I only save each 3 or 5, this time it will be each 3, because yes. Then we will have to wait a lil' bit. I'm going to upload right away anyways one image of him which I used in the dataset so that we can have an idea on how he's supposed to look like alive.
Despite not using, shame, COGVLM, all settings were very similar to Lantzer's. It's slow simmer... But it works!!
He is more focused on clothings than poses per se. This time , gosh, he looks like a clown, not exactly, but his clohtes are so colorful. I asked to put on him malewear inspired by the UK Electronic Techno Band "Prodigy." Hence his name!
Since he's based on Lantzer (just like some other or many toons of mine) he is ginger or blonde. Not may fault though. I really tried different shades, but... what for right? What I wanted here was the clothes, but now I'm lovin 'im so much! hehe
But he looks better as a ginger.
I'm uploading him separated from Lantzer because I was afraid he wouldn't work alone, BUT ON HIS THIRD EPOCH HE IS ALREADY SOUNDING! OMG! 😍
Mission accomplished! On his sixth epoch he is already giving headshots similar to the main sample image on base model SD 1.5 . His backgrounds are looking truly good, loads of variations - although he does have about 200 different scenes then...
In his case, prompts has more to do with your description of:
clothes - from formal to anything as policeman and of course baggy chavwear and even spiky punks stuff including subdermal spiky piercings hehe
accessories as earrings, piercings, neck chain with bling stuff, he can wear multiple different types of rings on his fingers, different chains or wristwear, different types of wristwatches like the typical large loosen Rol3x
oh and tattoos on every "decent" part of body - which I was afraid it would ruin him but IT DID NOT! YAY!
Hum he does have some cheap large boxer underwear, it tried different fabrics like silk but it only delivered me him nakey which i removed.
He has summer clothes, winter ones.
Not sure why as he doesn't carry any prop, but as seen on the post bellow, truly cute naïve toys and stuff love him which awesome .
He can wear different types of sneakers and boots - no sandals please! ha!
Socks, gosh he has plenty of them from those sorta leggings undershorts to those large OVER pants as in pretty chav style.
You can remove his shirt or jacket and his socks and footwear... Just not make him truly nakey. At least not by default. He doesn't have a... erm... you know what! :D
Hum, he does know how to skate! Whether on a skateboard (didn't post but he does it!) and roller-skates, I didn't have the chance (or time) for a snowboard, but that would include hats and visors/googles/glasses and I believe those could ruin it. Rather keep them to be added via prompt as I've seen SD adding different types of shaders on him. And for snowboarding, he might be able to since he can skateboard. Maybe those - what's it called? - two-wheel thing, bah can't remember the name, but maybe he will be able to
He has a few poses sitting properly and even running on a marathon with appropriate runnerwear;
In case you're not sure exactly how to enter the prompt, you can also add before the clothing piece something like "clown", because he was trained for that. And the clown stuff is not he circus clown, but the Prodigy Band, mainly that crazily GREAT singer (R.I.P.) super cool funny weirdo and yes clownywear. If you add funny male chav socks it will be either those large ones which engulf the pants or some truly colorful multi-pattern ones
Only BLIP sometimes is very limited and mentioned him with "uniform", but go on, add "tracksuits", name a maker famous among chavs and scallys because I had to train him with that. You can even mix weird stuff like "tuxedo top" and "male chav cheap boxer underwear", but don't put them to close to avoid info bleeding.
Honestly, even I don't know how I manage to pack in so many different stuff in there. Use your imagination and maybe with the help of weighing the token as (male punk nursewear on:1.3) it may work.
Even if a model render compression clothes on him, just know that he's absent of those. There's really nothing slightly close to that - only the socks maybe lol.
From what I've seen though, he can even wear "gimp" but large gimpwear (rubbery/rubberwear similar to scuba/postapocalypse scenarios, for other purposes though ;)
Maybe if we were able to tag him with proper COGVLM tags, then gosh he would skyrocket!
Anyways, from the list above I guesh you can get why I love him. He has not prejudice and stupid things, he can wear clothes of any colour of the rainbow with any whether punk, chav or cute patterns. Rambo pants, Rambo shorts, canvas trunks, gosh I can keep describing here for ever. How not to love then? Plus despite what anime models render, he is slender and his belly is not overfit, there are some definition but not those screaming six-packs. If you like whether use an anime model, or just add to your prompt.
On scenes, I used only "realistic" ones but there are a few cyberpunk/futuristic - I cannot live without them. But you can mix locations and whether and time and seasons... I tried to put him on the bottom of the sea, but then got a nakey and gave up.
Why no nakeys? Because they interfere with clothing. And when you're not excepting then BOOM! Plus since models censor everything, they destroy the clothing in the related area. So nope.
Tested him on SD 1.5 and he works great there, then went to other realistic base models and tick, then anime ones and tick tick, although on anime ones he gets really bloated... while he's actually slender tall slim. Anyways. WOOT!
Last words - the optimizer used to train him was AdamW8bit - NOT PRODIGY! Just in case, been currently using such settings:
Unet Learning Rate (UNet LR): 3e-4
Text Encoder LR: 0.0001
LR Scheduler: Constant (Good for a slow simmer such as UNET_LR 3e-4)
AdamW8bit Optimizer Args: weight_decay=0.1 betas=[0.9,0.99]
There are some variations regarding other settings, still always within parameters cited on/by paper, Victor Hall and Kohya.
