    # Darkcity

    A style LoRA for Krea 2. Applies a consistent visual treatment without locking the subject matter.

    ## Usage

    Include the trigger word *darkcity** in your prompt.

    Recommended weight: 1. Start there and adjust — styles often read well below 1.0, and lower weights blend more naturally with other LoRAs.

    ## Prompt Examples

    Here are some prompt examples:

    "darkcity, A man with a tense, focused expression stares intently forward in a dimly lit, gritty interior space, illuminated by harsh, warm-toned lights that cast deep shadows across his face, framed in a tight close-up that emphasizes his alert demeanor."

    "darkcity, three people walk through a dimly lit, tiled underground corridor, passing a faded mural advertising an art exhibit; warm, focused lighting casts shadows, and the camera frames them from a side angle as they move forward."

    "darkcity, A man with dark, curly hair and a coat stands in a dimly lit room filled with vintage clocks and signs, his face partially illuminated by a warm light as he looks off to the side with a thoughtful expression, captured in a medium close-up shot."

    "darkcity, A man with dark, curly hair stands in a dimly lit, industrial-style corridor, his face partially illuminated by warm, glowing wall-mounted lamps. He gazes intently off-camera, framed in a medium shot that emphasizes the moody, shadowy atmosphere."

    "darkcity, A bald, weathered figure with intense blue eyes stares directly forward, clad in dark, textured armor under a cool, blue-toned lighting that casts deep shadows across their face. The camera frames them in a tight close-up against a hazy, indistinct background, emphasizing their stern expression and the atmospheric, moody setting."

    "darkcity, A crowd of bald, uniformed figures stands in a dim, industrial chamber, their gazes fixed upward toward a central elevated platform where a lone figure stands. The scene is bathed in cold, greenish-blue light, casting deep shadows and emphasizing the stark, metallic architecture surrounding them, framed from a low angle to amplify the imposing scale."

    "darkcity, A cracked, stained-glass window arches overhead, its fragmented panes glowing with a dim, greenish light against a dark, cloudy sky, framed tightly from below to emphasize its weathered, fractured surface."

    "darkcity, A dimly lit, narrow hallway with dark wood paneling and wall-mounted sconces casting warm, focused light that reflects off the polished floor, flanked by rows of empty chairs and framed by wooden doors with textured glass. The camera is positioned at eye level, looking straight down the corridor toward a distant arched doorway."

    "darkcity, A solitary figure in a long coat ascends a dimly lit, gritty staircase, gripping the railing as a single, harsh overhead light casts stark shadows on the textured walls. The low-angle shot emphasizes the climb and the oppressive, atmospheric darkness surrounding the subject."

    "darkcity, two figures in a dimly lit, shadowy environment stare upward with expressions of shock or fear; the lighting casts dramatic highlights on their faces while the background remains dark, and the camera frames them in a tight, intense close-up."

    "darkcity, A man and a woman sit across from each other at an elegantly set dining table, illuminated by candlelight from ornate candelabras, in a richly decorated, dimly lit room with heavy drapes and a fireplace. The camera frames the scene from behind the woman, focusing on the intimate, tense atmosphere of their quiet confrontation."

    "darkcity, A man with a tense, focused expression stares intently forward in a dimly lit, atmospheric setting, illuminated by a soft, out-of-focus glow in the background, captured in a tight close-up that emphasizes his intense gaze."

    "darkcity, A man with wide, startled eyes stares forward in a dimly lit, shadowy setting, his face partially illuminated by a focused light source that casts deep shadows, captured in a tight close-up framing that emphasizes his intense expression."

    "darkcity, in a dimly lit barbershop, a man in a fedora and coat uses a razor to shave another seated man’s head while a third man in a dark coat and hat watches closely; the scene is framed tightly, with a wall clock and fluorescent light visible in the background."

    "darkcity, A man in glasses and formal attire stares intently at a grotesque, pale figure lying motionless on a table, surrounded by shadowy onlookers in a dimly lit, clinical setting with cold greenish lighting, captured in a tight, dramatic close-up."

    "darkcity, in a dimly lit office, two individuals sit across a desk from each other, engaged in a serious conversation under the focused glow of a single desk lamp, with the camera framing them in a medium shot that emphasizes the tense atmosphere."

    "darkcity, A person leans over a cluttered desk in a dimly lit, wood-paneled room, illuminated by a single lamp casting warm light on their hands and the objects before them, while the surrounding space fades into shadow, framed in a tight, intimate shot."

    "darkcity, A man in a dark coat stands in a dimly lit interior, his face partially illuminated by a greenish glow from a barred window behind him, casting deep shadows and creating a moody, cinematic atmosphere. The camera frames him in a medium shot, emphasizing his contemplative expression and the stark contrast between light and shadow."

    "darkcity, A man with dark, curly hair looks upward with an intense, focused expression, framed in a low-angle close-up. The scene is dimly lit with warm, greenish tones, suggesting a confined, atmospheric interior space."

    "darkcity, A child in a baseball uniform sits on a wooden bench outdoors, writing in a notebook while holding a decorated book titled “Guide to Shell Beach.” The scene is bathed in soft, natural daylight with a shallow depth of field focusing on the child’s hands and the book, framed by vertical wooden slats and grassy background."

    That movie was a great one! Often mistaken as a copy of The Matrix. It's similar, but very much different. Thanks!

    Yep! Matrix copy the photograpgy style of this movie, and some partial scenes as well. :) and as an extra usless information about matrix, this is not confirmed, but they also get inspired on theyr clothing by an old series from 1997 La Femme Nikita I think the 2 first season but not sure.

    Matrix re-purposed some sets of Dark City (the opening sequence of Trinity fleeing the Agents), so I guess it's fair to say, Dark City didn't copy Matrix' homework😎, but it also explains why it's mistaken so easy as a copy. Both awesome movies.
