Somewhere around 1998, on a whim, I bought the X-files season 1 box set and discovered Gillian Anderson, and I've been a fan ever since.
Yes, I even have autographed photos...
Lately, I've been thinking I'd mix up my desire to re-watch X-files and play with Stable Diffusion, specifically the Low-Rank Adaptation (aka LORA) that let you model elements in it.
So I spent a few hours making screenshots and building my first LORA, obviously of Gillian Anderson, aka Scully.
The first results are encouraging (I'm far from a specialist, and the power of Stable Diffusion is matched only by its complexity):
As the X-Files show took place over several years, Gillian evolved visually over time, so I challenged myself to do one LORA of Scully per season.
These two images come solely from a LORA made from the captures of the first two episodes, a job that requires ... a lot of time (capture, crop, describe and then sleep while my 2080 is working).
But I'm pretty happy with the first results, even if I'm learning as I go.
See you in a few weeks for the release of the hopefully nice Scully_s01.safetensors.
I want to believe.
