Striker - 1994 FIFA World Cup Mascot (Illustrious)

This was the mascot for the 1994 FIFA World Cup held in the USA. Even though he didn't seem all that popular then or now, he remains one of my favorites. That's why I tried my hand at creating a LoRA for him.

USAGE:

• I found that a strength of 1.2 is a good compromise between original character design and average furry character look. You can get a more original look the higher you go, but you're also likely to need more refinement and to see possible anomalies.

• Prompting for character: "furry, anthro, dog, brown fur, black ears, floppy ears, black eyes" - (I chose brown eyes in the example images simply because it looked better)

• Prompting for outfit: "soccer uniform (optional), white top, short red sleeves, blue shorts, socks, black shoes"

• In negatives: "logo, emblem" to minimize chances for random logos to appear on the jersey; also "soccer ball" for any image in which you don't want one to appear as all but one image used in training included one

Even though examples are WAI-NSFW-only, I have also tested the model on a few other checkpoints like Nova Furry, Hassaku and FurryToonMix, and it seems to respond well across the board.

Considering this was my first real attempt at creating a character model in addition of lacking much of any good source material - the training data consists of 6 mostly lower resolution and middling quality images - this turned out quite well actually. Case in point, the following was the best quality image I had on hand:

Sidenote: I manually edited out all logos and text from the training material. I didn't want some garbled nonsense to pop up which was guaranteed to happen otherwise. All example images received a hi-res pass, and the inpainting done was only to slightly improve faces, but it wasn't truly necessary in most cases.
