Valerian & Laureline
What is it?
It is trained from earlier images of Valerian & Laureline, which is a French science fiction comics series, created by writer Pierre Christin and artist Jean-Claude Mézières. It ran from 1967 to 2010. I recently discovered it and fell in love with the story and art style. So, I decided to try and recreate it. At the time it was first published, sci fi was not as mainstream of a concept as it is now. You will often find that many popular sci fi literature/movies have influence from the comic and setting. Somewhat of a grandfather to sci fi. This is my first attempt at recreating this style.
Recommended Value
I personally keep the weight between 0.4 to 0.6 with 0.6 being my personal favorite weight overall.
All my images within this card also used the DreamShaper model but works well with any model. It easy to recreate the aesthetic and style of the comic, however by playing with the prompt and different models. You can get some amazing cartoon/anime like results.
Bonus!
Deforum animation using this LoRA!

Thank you! Looks great!
Hi. I have a large dataset of Robotech/Macross I want to do something like you do.
Do you have a Collab site to recomend or some tip?
I would love to see that as a Lora. Being able to call up each mech would be awesome.
Well, I like it a lot but it is very reluctant to make images of Valerian rather than Laureline. Even when I do get an image of him, or both of them, the hi res fix turns him into her!
But still very nice work.
Actually it is "in a galaxy far, far away..." compared to the actual style of the earlier images. This is how Valerian looked like in his first appearance https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Valerian-The-Complete-Collection/TPB-1?id=129454#25
Valerian indeed looked very different from what he became already in the next installment.
Laureline is spot on to what she looks in the mainstream episodes. For Valerian, I'll have to try but don't base your judgement on the first episode which is far from how we know him. And I'm one of these old guys who read all of the series each week when it was published in Pilote back in the 60s
