Vulcan Salute - Live long and prosper gesture

v3.0:
A new version was trained to stabilize the generation of the basic gesture by using different tagging and eliminating some images from the dataset along with more training steps.

trigger words: vulcan salute, gesture, singlevulcan, double vulcan, vulcan over eye, reversevulcan

The general concept tag is "vulcan salute" and "gesture" is the instance tag. In training these two tags were used for all images. Every other trigger word should be used in combination with either "vulcan salute" or "gesture" or with both. Please look at the showcase pics for further reference (I used the same seeds and prompts with slight adjustments as in v2.0. Some may look better in v2.0 showcase, since those there selected from a larger group.). The trigger word "reversevulcan" seems to work to some extend, so I included it here, but it has not been tested throughouly.

Feel free to comment, if you have something to say about the lora and share your generated images on the lora model page.

If you like the lora please have a look at the showcase pics and leave a reaction.

v2.0:

This new version is trained on a larger image set, which makes it more flexible and less style and character biased. The tag "vulcan over eye" works much better than in version 1.0. Overall this lora works good with simple prompts, but often fails for more complex prompts at lora weight 1.0. Improving the lora weight to 1.1 or 1.2 might fix that.

trigger words: vulcan salute gesture, double vulcan, vulcan over eye,

You can also use the tag "double vulcan over eye".

v1.0:

This generates the Vulcan Salute gesture, made famous by Spock and other vulcan people in Star Trek as greeting or goodbye along with the words "Live long and prosper". The lora works fine with the basic trigger word "vulcan salute" at a lora weight of 1.0. I created this, since the danbooru tag did not work for me with the illustrious based model I use the most. I guess this is because of lots of mistagged images in the dataset and images with many characters making different gestures.

trigger words: vulcan salute, double vulcan, vulcan over eye, (reverse vulcan)

The trigger word "double vulcan" works fine most of the time when used together with "vulcan salute" but sometimes you have to omit "vulcan salute" or try another seed. Else you will get extra digits (or too few).

The tag "vulcan over eye" is kind of a mixed bag, sometimes it works and but most of the time not. The tag "reverse vulcan" only ever worked for me in combination with "vulcan over eye".

Using other tags than "vulcan salute" and "double vulcan" the outcome seems to be highly dependent on the seed. Also using other tags for gestures or hand postures can lead to fails.
