Creating a lora for Hellboy was difficult, but it was totally worth it. It took me three attempts, and I'm finally happy with the results. I'm still learning about model training, but it's a fun process. So if you have any suggestions for characters that I could train my next loras on, please let me know. I'm always looking for new challenges.

I'm eager to see what you create with this lora. Please share and post your creations!

Context:

Hellboy is a complex and iconic character with a fascinating backstory. Summoned to Earth as a baby by Nazis, he was rescued by Allies and raised by a British parapsychologist. This unique upbringing has given him a unique perspective on the world, straddling the line between demon and human.

Guillermo del Toro's movies capture Hellboy's complex character and unique backstory well, with Ron Perlman giving a memorable performance and the movies packing action, humor, and a unique blend of horror and fantasy.

Usage:

Activation Words: h3llb0y man

For the iconic trench coat and black shirt: trench coat, black shirt

Bare red muscles: shirtless

After many test I recommend using these settings for a better output.

LoRa Weight: 0.7

Clip Skip: 1

Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras / DPM++ 3M SDE Karras are my fav, but fell free to experiment

Resolution: at least 1024 x 1024 px

The faces that are too far will lack definition but the loRa has all the needed details, if you do a Hires. fix you will notice a huge improvement. Please don’t use ADetailer, it doesn’t blend very well, same with Restore faces. If you have time to spend, you can do an inpainting. This model is amazing for creating and works great for inpainting.

Hires. fix for optimum quality

I rtecommend these upscalers: 4xNMKD-Superscale-SP_178000_G or 4xNMKD-Superscale-_150000_G retain a lot of texture and definition.
