Chun Hyang (Shin Angyo Onshi) [IL/Pony/Flux]

01.03.2025

A slightly improved version for IllustriousXL

1. Removed a lot of bad backgrounds from the tutorial images. (Not all). Now Sando weapon works better, but is far from perfect. For this, some of the images where she was with claws and a sword were duplicated during training. There are quite a few close-up images of Chun Hyang in the selection and I don't want to delete them.

2. Unfortunately, Chun Hyang's hair is her curse. Lora remembered how it was drawn in the manhwa and now often reproduces it unnaturally. The same with the cloak, its texture will appear where it is not needed.

3. This version reproduces Sando's weapon much better than Flux, old Illustrious and of course the useless Pony version for weapons. Although this is achieved at the cost of variety in fighting poses. Sando's sword and her gloves require tags:

   holding sword, sando_sword
   one arm claw \(weapon\), excessive big claw \(weapon\)
   

   This does not guarantee their canonical version. And to get something similar will require many attempts.

4. It took almost a month to prepare the images and work on this lora. And I'm not satisfied with the result, there's still a lot that can be done better. But for now, let's wish Sando sweet dreams.

Version this lora for Flux.

1. The training image descriptions were made using tags from the illustrious/pony versions + a natural language descriptive hint.

2. To create a character similar to Sando, you need illustration tags. (illustration, digital art, anime) Or add more tags in sd XL format: 1girl, brown hair, and others, so that the neural network understands that this is a drawing. In completely realistic images, Chun Hyang will not look like herself.

3. The character's canon weapon is not supported as always. To display a large glove, you can try adding: "She has a large massive, claw-like gauntlet on their left hand"

4. I also cheated, some images are stretched using lora for illustriousXL. There is no generation data on these images, only promt.

Add pony version. I forgot how bad the pony hands are and how hard it is to make a character hold a weapon properly. The holding sword tags are useless in pony version. But this version has several other advantages. To preserve the identity of the character in the pony version, the "very long hair" tag is highly desirable.

Chun Hyang is a beautiful warrior from the korean manhwa "Shin Angyo Onshi". She is Sando - the bodyguard and companion of the manhwa protagonist Munsu.

Most of the training images are taken from the color webtoon version of the manhwa, and a small part from the anime adaptation, as well as several fanart and cosplay images.

recommended lora weight: 0.8 - 0.9

main trigger:

Chun_Hyang
very long hair, brown hair, brown eye, medium brests

clothes:

cloak, sarashi, thigh strap, belt suspender, bandages, panties
closed cloak, bandaged brests, bandaged arms, bandaged legs

additional options:

expressionless, floating hair, damaged body, garter belt, choker, parted lips, 
hair between eyes, blood on bandage

weapon (not work correctly):

one arm claw \(weapon\), excessive big claw \(weapon\)
holding great sword
knife on knee belt

notes:

1. If lora draws some extra clothes under her suspenders, try adding the “naked” tag.

2. Using the "very long hair" tag in bed scenes can produce terrible results. Although lora trained with it, it is better not to use very long hair.

3. Unfortunately the current version of lora cannot draw the titular weapon correctly. To display a large glove with claws, I had several options during training: “one glove with claws” (in most cases I got regular gloves), “one monster hand with claws” (here a monster constantly appeared in the background), one power claw/one arm with power claw (association with Warhammer 40k, and lora constantly drew power armor on Chun Hyang). In the last option, it seems to me that the closest weapon that illustriousXL knows is claw \(weapon\). but still, the main character’s glove will not be drawn correctly in most cases. Not enough suitable images, steps or skill.

4. Most of the images for training are from the manhwa, many were stretched and lost in quality, most of them still had a background with artifacts/bad details. I do not recommend using tags for generation: “grey cave background”, “stone background”, “grey room”. If I make a new version of lora, I will try to remove all the bad backgrounds but it will take a very long time.

5. in the anime adaptation, Chun Hyang has blue eyes. In the original manhwa, the eyes in the color illustrations are blue. In the re-released color version of the manhwa, the eyes are brown. Guess what eye color lora remembered. However, sometimes she remembers blue eyes.
