Genndy Tartakovsky Style Series for Pony

V1 - Samurai Jack

(scroll down for other versions)

This LoCon model is based on the art style of "Samurai Jack," an animated series created by Genndy Tartakovsky. Initially, I was inspired to make a Tartakovsky-style model. However, I realized that each of Tartakovsky’s cartoons has a distinct style of its own. This model is part of an ongoing Genndy Tartakovsky Style Series, with "Samurai Jack" as the inaugural version.

"Samurai Jack" combines a limited color palette, minimalism, bold lines, and geometric shapes, with influences like Hanna-Barbera and traditional Japanese prints and posters.

While Genndy Tartakovsky's vision was crucial, the art style owes much to his collaborators: Scott Wills (Art Director), Stephen DeStefano (Character Designer), and Dan Krall, to name a few.

Guidelines

The model does not require a specific trigger word

Useful style prompts : "retro artstyle", "no lineart", "flat color"

This model is intended purely as a style LoRA to apply to your own scenes and characters. It cannot recreate characters from the show by name, although it has limited knowledge of “samurai jack” as a character prompt

V2 - Primal

Captures the distinct art style of Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal . This model is the second in the Tartakovsky Style Series , following the Samurai Jack version. Primal differs from Samurai Jack with its more grounded and organic visual style. The series employs a realistic color palette influenced by nature documentaries, adding a visceral and earthy feel to the animation. While Samurai Jack features minimalist and bold geometric designs, Primal leans towards detailed, illustrative environments and characters. Other influences on the show's style were Conan the Barbarian and vintage pulp novels, as well as artists like Osamu Tezuka, Frank Frazetta, Moebius, and Ralph Bakshi.

Credit goes to Scott Wills, the Art Director on Primal , responsible for painting environments, character coloring, and integrating effects, color, and light, as well as Christian Schellewald and the rest of Tartakovsky's team.
