Zuleika- Joseph: King of Dreams

作者：topside_johnny

Zuleika (and Joseph, and Potiphar) from Joseph: King of Dreams. Be honest its a Zuleika lora, I expect it to do that piece well, but I find it helps to have a guy trained in there and would have been a pain to not have them. Potiphar is in there way more than I planned, so I'd get detailed with guy prompts and name tags.

As usual, give me a day to get good samples out there and learn the quirks. IMO, the original didn't do a great job on hands so maybe throw a hand lora in there.

So before we get to prompts further below, time for the requisite excuse making and cultural relevance. Joseph: King of Dreams came out in 2000 and was released after Prince of Egypt and is a musical adaption of Joseph from the book of Genesis.

There's actually a pretty good number of Prince of Egypt loras out here, no King of Dreams, and I'll tell you why in a minute, but me being me, I see a lack of something and I just gotta fix that. This'll sound like I'm criticizing, but King of Dreams was direct to video. Still has a big name cast and worth a view, but reminds me of 300: Rise of an Empire. Surprisingly decent movie but doesn't have the pop a followup should have compared to what came before. The animation suffers somewhat, its a lack of depth and shading/lighting I think in some parts, you only appreciate this when you're building out a lora. Prince of Egypt is Prince of Egypt, and King, sometimes its real solid, and other times it looks like they're phoning it in a bit.

In the 80's-90's, even us casuals had alot of exposure to this stuff, and if you still didn't, you ever went to a dentist office, there was always a buncha magazines and illustrated Bible stories. Now the Bible is FULL of stuff guaranteed to trip filters if you really take it literal, but the whole Joseph and Potiphar's wife was like the Bronze Age's answer to Disclosure (1994), you've got seduction and false allegations and the boss's wife (and incidentally, that's never a move to make, but especially if he can have you executed)

There's actually alot of great classical art of her out there (wikipedia can get you started), if you commit, so it makes me feel less alone in the universe to know a bunch of guys had the same taste as me hundreds (and maybe thousands) of years ago. Though the fact that so many Italians seemed to want to paint her as a pasty light haired chunky northern european is either willful ignorance or a complete unwillingness to paint something a little different. Anyways!

I love her design because she is unapologetically Egyptian, saucy, and resembles one of those hieroglyphics when you catch her from the side. Also, she is tall (or Joseph is short)! Only thing, as big a part of the story she is, I think she only shows up for 10 minutes, so not as much variation as I'd like!

Ok, well on these prompts. The names are trained in, for guys I would suggest negging Potiphar if you're going for Joseph etc, or get more detailed on prompts, apparently he's in there stronger than I thought he'd be so you may get some merges (if you care). Potiphars got a stern face so going for more of a fresh faced thing would probably help, probably harping on eyes and eyebrows too. I figure Zuleika and Potiphar are about 40, Joseph 21.

Zuleika: Female, tall, long hair, black hair, brown eyes, female golden diadem, white dress, jewelry, makeup, lipstick, eyeshadow, earrings, egyptian style clothes

Honestly, be smart with the tall prompt, she IS tall, tall women have a certain build and you lose that I think you don't have that in there. But for some reason AI's giving her and Joseph a ridiculous size difference. If her hair style is overpowering, neg out diadem and hair cuffs

Joseph: Male, JosephDream, short brown hair, brown eyebrows, white shirt, hazel eyes

You can try green eyes, I say they're hazel! Also, tends to give him like a modern white t-shirt, so maybe use ancient egyptian white shirt. And as I said with Zuleika, put a little work into your height prompts if you care!

Joseph (Egypt look): Male, JosephDream, shirtless male, white shendyt, hazel eyes, male short black egyptian wig, egyptian style clothes Ok, you have to specify FEMALE golden diadem (or take it out), or it'll try to stick Zuleika's hair on him

Potiphar: Male, mature face, black eyebrows, brown eyes, egyptian style clothes, white headdress, white shendyt, white egyptian tunic

Some prompts you can try, egypt, pyramid, columns, hieroglyphics, holding fan
