Gothic Whimsy Characters

About this LoRA

Gothic Whimsy Characters

A style LoRA for Krea 2 for dark whimsical gothic characters: bold black ink outlines and scratchy cross-hatching, deep inky blacks with muted cream, dusty violet and grey tones and glowing teal smoke, spindly elongated limbs, oversized heads with huge hollow eyes, stitches, stripes and curling spirals, and a huge pale full moon behind the figure. Scarecrows, undertakers, witches, ghosts, skeletons and any original character you describe.

Usage

Start the prompt with the trigger word GothicWhimsyRK, then describe the subject and the scene as usual; the look comes from the LoRA.

Recommended weight: 1. Lower it to 0.7–0.8 to blend the style with other LoRAs. Made for Krea 2 Turbo (8 steps, CFG 1).
