Florate is a synthetic style (based originally on my real-world photography) that tries to add/change organic shapes in images to get a surreal vibe. Not biomechanical or Giger-esque - more floral/biological.

Trained on Civitai for Krea 2 with 50 1024x1024 hand-captioned images.

It works on both Krea 2 Raw and Turbo (all testing done in Forge NEO).

The showcase gallery has a bunch of picture grids to show how Florate works with simple prompts, and then some more complex pictures.

The trigger "fl0rate" is necessary for the organic transformations, but the LoRA also has an effect without the trigger - changing details and colours. Example picture-grids are in the showcase gallery for both situations.

The LoRA works fine on its own, but my best results have been when combining it with other LoRAs and adding some organic/flora terms to prompts. On its own it converts things to its organic style; it likes adding flowers. The look of transformed characters can be a bit Boho... for an alternative value of Boho :)

Usable LoRA strength values: 0.2 <---> 1.7

The values I found most useful were: 0.6 <---> 1.0

See the showcase gallery for example LoRA strength picture grids.

I often add helper phrases to my prompts to give Florate some extra stuff to work on. Examples:

<<<

sharp edges and areas of light and shade

branching structures on a pale background

striations and smooth areas

straight and curved edges

pale lobes of differing sizes

striated angular pale shapes

ruffled shapes in a contrasting colour

spiked and toothed edges

cupped pastel shapes

tightly packed curved shapes

pale bulbous organic shapes
