In the beginning, God made the cat. Then a monk tried to paint it from memory, three years after last seeing one, by candlelight, after consuming some sort of ergot from moldy bread. This LoRA is that monk's illuminated digital legacy.

Generates cursed bestiary cats, uncanny marginalia monsters, and the occasional woodland creature who wandered into the wrong manuscript. Runs best at strength 1.0. At lower values, it can be pushed into types of folky art.

Trained on various medieval manuscripts with a few Renaissance cats thrown in for good measure. Most if not all generations will have some sort of parchment adherence due to the training data. I used a few different checkpoints for the examples shown. Just fiddle with the settings to see what kind of horrors you can create.

Disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm doing. I did this for the sake of just doing it. I am sorry in advance for whatever beautiful nightmare graces your vision after hitting generate.
