    Ken Sugimori 1990s Classic Pokemon Trainers Style - v1.0
    NSFW
    Preview 286270

    This LoRA aims to capture the style of early Ken Sugimori character concept art before his style was modernized with the Pokémon series' popularity.

    If you are familiar with old Pokémon trainer cards, box art, and promotional and concept art before and during the release of the original Red, Green, and Blue games, this is that style.

    =====
    Training these models is expensive and time consuming.

    =====

    Models were trained on Anythingv3 and tested on several anime checkpoint models. Examples were made with AbyssOrangeMixV2.

    I have included 3 versions as they are all really good and have different strengths and weaknesses. For general use however, I recommend the latest version as it is the most flexible and coherent.

    The trigger phrase is sugimori ken 1990s though in most cases, the models function fine even without the trigger phrase. Recommended weight is 0.8 to 1 with CLIP skip 2.

    To use this LoRA with Automatic1111's Web UI, ensure that you are up to date and then just place the downloaded file(s) in the webui/models/lora directory.

    Description

    This version handles female characters much better than male characters and can conform very strongly to the style. Might have difficulty with correct outfit/hair colors.

    How would you get specific characters such as green?

    My advice would be to use the green (pokemon) tag along with details for hair and clothes. Ideally you could also use a character LoRA, though it doesn't look like there's one for Green right now.
    Unfortunately, the dataset is limited to high resolution works and doesn't include scans of Pokémon Adventures, so some of the characters are missing. I think you can still get close with the right tagging and keep an eye out for a character LoRA. Hope that helps! Good luck!

    Friend, I download all the pokemon style models that I see to achieve a particular result that I still can't achieve, I'm looking for the watercolor style le ken sugimori, there are few now for Illustrious, I have already worked with other old models as well, but something is always missing, with the hope that it can serve as motivation for you I ask you if possible, create it with the most outstanding characteristics of this style which for me are, the face in that style of pointed eyeliner and the narrow elongated and simplistic eyes that stand out so much, the parts of the body with those straight and pointed curves that are almost cartoon, that thick anatomy in the extremities, especially in the calves and forearms and lastly and most importantly, the watercolor, but an effective one which stands out for creating white colors in the part of the characters with the greatest light, that is, if there is a red color, and it has a lighting part it will be like pink, but in this case being watercolors would be practically white, there are watercolor models that only apply watercolors to the backgrounds and not to the characters, in addition to the fact that they look very opaque, it would also be important for the colors to be saturated, I know it is very shameless of me to ask this, but I really want to see that LORA one day as it should be, even better, greetings friend and congratulations for your great work always.
