<h2 id="thom-merrilin-the-gleeman">🎭 Thom Merrilin - The Gleeman</h2>🟥🟦🟨 Patchwork Cloak • Medieval Layers • Throwing Knives • Traveling Performer<hr />This ZImage model is my latest and most accurate Thom Merrilin model. Previous versions remain available but those were my learning phase of creating character loras.It represents Thom as a middle-aged gleeman (mid to late 50s) at the height of his skill — not elderly, not exaggerated, and not a caricature.This model reliably produces:<ul><li>White hair with subtle steel-gray streaks, worn loose to the shoulders</li><li>A thick drooping mustache that hangs naturally downward (not curled or styled)</li><li>A true gleeman’s patchwork cloak made from many small cloth patches with visible stitching</li><li>Medieval clothing only (no modern jackets or jeans)</li><li>Throwing knives visible on his belt, reinforcing his dangerous side</li></ul><hr /><h2 id="core-trigger-words-(copy-and-paste)">🧩 Core Trigger Words (Copy &amp; Paste)</h2>ThomMerrilin a middle-aged gleeman, white hair with subtle steel-gray streaks worn loose to his shoulders and a thick drooping mustache that hangs naturally downward, not curled or styled. He wears a gleeman’s patchwork cloak made from many small cloth patches sewn together with visible stitching and medieval clothing with throwing knives on his beltUse this block as the identity anchor in every prompt, while removing things that would not be important for the shot angle or scene. Such as removing the knives on his belt if its an upper body scene.<hr /><h2 id="instrument-triggers">🎶 Instrument Triggers</h2><h3 id="flute-(travel-quiet-scenes)">Flute (travel / quiet scenes)</h3>Use one:<ul><li>playing a wooden flute</li><li>holding a simple wooden flute</li></ul>Best for roads, forests, and solitary performances. But use anywhere, Thom played a portable harp and a flute in the books.<hr /><h3 id="harp-(inn-formal-scenes)">Harp (inn / formal scenes)</h3>Use one:<ul><li>playing a small wooden harp</li><li>holding a small medieval harp</li><li>small harp performance in an inn</li></ul>Best for taverns, inns, and storyteller gatherings. He carried a small portable harp as he was a traveling gleeman.Tip: Do not combine flute and harp in the same image.<hr /><h2 id="showcase-and-example-prompts">📸 Showcase &amp; Example Prompts</h2>Reference the images and prompts in the showcase to see how the triggers effect the outcome. You can see by the ZImage default samples how much it defaults to a younger man if you don't include all the prompting, even though there were no young looking dataset images. ZImage stuff I guess.<hr /><h2 id="cloak-color-palette-guidance">🎨 Cloak Color Palette Guidance</h2>🟥 Muted red 🟦 Faded blue 🟨 Ochre / warm yellow 🟩 Dull green 🟫 Brown / umber ⬛ Charcoal grayHelpful phrases:<ul><li>“muted reds and faded blues”</li><li>“earthy ochre and dull green”</li><li>“weathered wool tones”</li></ul><hr /><h2 id="tips-for-best-results">🧠 Tips for Best Results</h2><ul><li>If the mustache curls, repeat: drooping mustache, not curled near the end</li><li>If clothing modernizes, reinforce: medieval clothing and keep the negative prompt</li><li>If knives disappear, add: throwing knives clearly visible on his belt</li></ul><hr /><h3 id="notes">📜 Notes</h3>This model is part of my ongoing Wheel of Time character set.<hr />-This LoRA is not intended to resemble any real person, living or deceased.
