TUNNELER ~ Puppet Master II Series LoRA#18
My series of 4 terrifying horror action figures from the 1991 film that scared the crap out of kids & adults alike. The Puppet Master movie franchise definitely ranks as 'Cult classic', and I loved them..... well, the first 3 anyway, after that they're pretty much MEH!
Tunneler's personality is that of a cold-blooded killer. He is intelligent and capable of carrying out complex orders. The drill on his head can willingly turn on and off and drills right through his victims. Tunneler's soul is Joseph Sebastian, a soldier who was forced to work in the Nazi's salt mines until he died. As a puppet, Tunneler is more of a "gimmick" than a character.
Tunneler does not show much distinguishable personality, when he appears the focus is usually on what his weapon does rather than how he acts. Tunneler is more of a follower than a leader, rarely acting first.
These LoRA's were quite difficult to create, for a novice like me at least, due to the lack of quality material & the age of it. However, I think I've managed to create something that will be usable for fans of the films and the homicidal marionette protagonists.
I suggest starting with the following parameters, and mess about from there:
Checkpoint: Rev Animated ~ LoRA:1 ~ 9:16ar ~ DPM++ SDE Karras ~ Steps: 20 ~ CFG: 7 ~ Clip: 2
I also recommend adding the following to the neg prompt:
(transparent background, posing on outdoor wooden table, smooth undulated surface, shades of brown wood grain, blurry background) as I had trouble changing backgrounds.
They're just a bit of fun to play around and experiment with, so see what you can do and please post your creations, as these little homicidal monsters made me laugh so much and scared the sh!t out of me at the same time.
I don't possess all the bells & whistles some of you do, I have very basic equipment and every LoRA I create is painstakingly manually tagged by hand after collecting my images one at a time. So, if you enjoy my work and can spare a Talent to support a poor ex-leper, you can do so here 💋
