This model is my second try at making a LoRA to replicate the style of monsters from "Courage the Cowardly Dog".
Courage was a horror cartoon for children about a cute pink dog that was afraid of everything, living with his two elderly humans on a farm in the middle of Nowhere, constantly having to defend the farm and his human from all sorts of monsters. The monsters were often quite unsettling.
This version works much better. I don't know if it mimics the style perfectly (since Courage sometimes used clashing styles for monster to make them seem more uncomfortable), but this LoRA wants to make cartoonish characters, and it wants to put cartoon eyes and sharp teeth on everything.
Using the trigger words "courage_monster" helps a lot. I also find that explicitly telling it you want simpler cartoon styles helps as well. I have been using "simple cartoon style" in my prompts and it seems to help quite a bit.
I do wish that it would anthropomorphize a bit more. In the show, everything stood on 2 legs, and chickens and ducks really had more human-like faces instead of the beaks that this still wants to draw.
This did surprisingly well in my attempt to get it to make a Katz-like character, I had to tell it to stand on 2 legs, but it reproduced the triangle face and super thin arms and legs. The face wasn't exactly the same, but you can see that it got the idea.
This is the second try. The dataset was prepared more properly this time, and a trigger word was used.
The trigger word is "courage_monster", note that it uses and underscore, not a space.
I also used clip skip of 2, since it seems like that should help.
