Welcome to the world of pixel art! In this blog, we’ll guide you step-by-step on how to create your own Pokémon Trainer sprites using a LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) model. Get ready to unleash your creativity and design charming characters, just like the ones you loved in the Pokémon games!

Understanding the Pokémon Trainer Sprite Generator

This state-of-the-art tool, trained on Pokémon sprites, allows you to generate delightful 96×96 pixel art. Think of the generator as your personal art assistant who just needs a few keywords to create unique character images. These images can range from iconic trainers to totally original sprites!

How to Get Started

Follow these simple steps to create your Pokémon Trainer sprites:

1. Download the Model: Weights for the Pokémon Trainer sprite model are available in Safetensors format. Make sure to download the model here.
2. Set Up the Environment: You’ll need to install the diffusers library from Hugging Face. This library will help you load the model.
3. Loading the Model: Use the following code to load and run the model:

from diffusers import AutoPipelineForText2Image
import torch

pipeline = AutoPipelineForText2Image.from_pretrained("stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0", torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")
pipeline.load_lora_weights("sWizad/pokemon-trainer-sprite-pixelart", weight_name="pk_trainer_xl_v1.safetensors")
image = pipeline("1girl, solo, hood, simple background").images[0]

This code snippet is like a recipe – you need the right ingredients (the model and prompts) to serve up the perfect dish (your unique sprite).

Quick Tips for Success

• No Trigger Word Needed: You can start generating right away without needing to input a specific trigger word!
• Art Styles: Experiment with tags codegen1 and codegen2 to create different art styles.
• Trainer Recognition: The model can recognize names of popular trainers like Ash and Bruno! Try it out.
• Resolution Options: Choose between 768×768 and 512×512 sprits. For best results, we recommend using the 768×768 version.

Troubleshooting Your Pokémon Adventure

While creating your sprites, you might encounter a few bumps in the road. Don’t fret; here are some common issues and how to solve them:

• Image Not Generating: Ensure that you’ve correctly set up your environment. Double-check your code for any typos!
• Quality Issues: If your sprites look off, consider ensuring your chosen art style matches what you want to create. Adjust the prompts accordingly.
• Lack of Detail: Try increasing the input prompt’s specificity. For example, instead of “girl,” use “girl in a kimono with cherry blossoms.”
• Compatibility Issues: If there are issues with loading the model, make sure you have the latest version of the diffusers library.
