Little Donnie | FLUX 1.D LoRA

Background & Origin Story

Not all heroes begin their journey in glory. Our subject, affectionately known as Donnie, began life as a humble Santa Claus lawn decoration, spreading good tidings until his magic faded. Destined for the landfill, Donnie was rescued by my wife who saw potential in his metal frame. With orange and white ripstop, she transformed him into DJT wearing an orange prison jumpsuit. Thus reborn, Donnie began adventuring in local parks and political demonstrations, his new persona both a commentary and a spectacle. Over time, Donnie began to dream, and his dreams—like those of his namesake—are grandiose, unruly, and a little bit nasty.

Model Creation

To capture the surreal psyche of Donnie, we curated 25 images depicting his new form in various settings: posing in front of a Thin Blue Line flag, riding on top of a makeshift bomb, and wearing a crown during the No Kings protest. Using standard Kohya_ss training parameters—optimized for creative, poetic prompts and cinematic scenarios—we distilled the essence of Donnie’s subconscious into a model that generates vivid, dreamlike scenes.
