+# sdxl-ugly-sonic-lora
+
+A LoRA for SDXL 1.0 Base which generates Ugly Sonic, using `sonic the hedgehog` as the trigger keywords.
+
+## Usage
+
+The LoRA can be loaded using `load_lora_weights` like any other LoRA in `diffusers`:
+
+```py
+import torch
+from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline, AutoencoderKL
+
+vae = AutoencoderKL.from_pretrained(
+    "madebyollin/sdxl-vae-fp16-fix",
+    torch_dtype=torch.float16
+)
+base = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
+    "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0",
+    vae=vae,
+    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
+    variant="fp16",
+    use_safetensors=True
+)
+
+base.load_lora_weights("minimaxir/sdxl-ugly-sonic-lora")
+
+_ = base.to("cuda")
+```
+
+During image generation, use `sonic the hedgehog` in the prompt.
+
+## Examples
+
+For all generations, the negative prompt used is `blurry, low quality`.
+
+`a close up of sonic the hedgehog (smiling for the camera with a toothy grin)++++, hyperrealistic photo for national geographic` (cfg = 13)
+
+![](img/example1.webp)
+
+`sonic the hedgehog relaxing on a couch, renaissance painting, (oil on canvas, aged, worn)++++` (cfg = 13)
+
+![](img/example2.webp)
+
+`a profile of sonic the hedgehog sitting at a desk deep in thought, (pixel art)++++, award-winning photo for vanity fair` (cfg = 13)
+
+![](img/example3.webp)
+
+`anatomical diagram of sonic the hedgehog, (highly detailed)++++` (cfg = 13)
+
+![](img/example4.webp)
+
+`sonic the hedgehog (eating at McDonald's)++, Ukiyo-e, minimalistic vector art` (cfg = 13)
+
+![](img/example5.webp)
+
+## Methodology
+
+This LoRA was trained on frame-by-frame analysis of the [original 1080p trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mW9FE5ILJs) featuring "Ugly Sonic". Square-crops of Ugly Sonic were extracted and AI-upscaled to 1080p.
+
+The use of `sonic the hedgehog` as the trigger keywords ensures that you won't generate the _other_ hedgehog by accident.
+
+## Notes
+
+- The CGI style of Ugly Sonic may overpower other style prompts. Therefore, you should weight any style prompts much higher.
