Falko - The Mindbreaker
Falko is one of my toons which "débuted" on DeviantArt. In short, he started as a shady underground dealer, but was almost killed by The Arbiter, although he had innate powers, which awakened by his dramatic state: he is an empathic controller as Xavier's son, Legion, and the "charismatic" New Mutant, Kharma - Danielle Moonstar. He was also a former wrestler.
His activation tag is falk0man. And it seems it's necessary to summon him.
Sorry, but by default FALKO IS SFW. He has no nude and just a few where he is topless... anything extra is really beyond me! :D
SD 1.5 version updated/recalled for his previous re-trained version trained on Colab. On SD 1.5 he can also be summoned by his formal name: falko. He's looking much better than before - now he is a real psy or techno-mage fulfilling his role as a mindbreaker - I'm proud of him. His wardrobe has gained new clothes, while some of his cyberimplants had to be removed (due to quality stuff,) but he learnt new poses and some action-packed moves. His peculiar face is truly hard to handle, but it's more stable now, although he works better for anime models (yet delivers semi-realistic images,) it's likely that he will work in realistic models, although I haven't tested it yet. :)
SDXL version trained on this site, it works fine as is - although any further upgrade will be good, it will take time though.
At first, I was like... "Why sharing Falko? Is he necessary?! But after seeing the samples during his training, I bet he will make a difference, not a huge impact, still...
In terms of huge hands and giant feet, Falko wins even over our Juggernaut (our toon not the base model.)
I'm also taking the opportunity and training him for SDXL, which will be ready in a few hours - as, despite training him on site, we are using my already standard "slow-simmer". Which truly delivers the best results.
For SDXL I used that slow-simmer and loads of repeats and 10 (?) epochs. On SD 1.5 though, since his arsenal was not that big - for this re-trained version I opted for quality instead, - it was 1 repeat per epoch, in 150 epochs in order to keep him more stable while versatile.
In our cough story cough he goes with the others to save the future.
On SDXL he's still a more mature man, but I always had to work manually on his face, and it's annoying the BIAS original XL base model has which makes him hard to train, but it's not only that but the quality wasn't the best, but we have to start somewhere, right?
For his (newest) new SD 1.5 I decided to have him drink a rejuvenation potion and he looks much younger, I believe it was good move as he looks much more refreshing and in accord to everything - on DA I wanted my toons to cover all ages and if possible all nationalities, but when I made my move onto AI, things didn't work that well - initially due to my inexperience, afterwards because it's truly tiresome to break the molds, so I yield. lol Anyways, I'm quite digging new Falko's image and I keep it as is as of now. He, like Shawn, had not many images to work with. On Shawn I finally sorted him out, Falko on 1.5 will soften his own path for me, but I'm already very satisfied with his outcome. He has nice poses, this time I even tried the feared "interlocked fingers", but the examples I invested had correct pose/gestures.
Have fun!
