About This Style
A black and white illustration style with the feel of inked manga pages, gothic graphic novels and film noir stills. Everything is drawn in deep blacks, clean whites and soft gray tones, with a fine grain over the whole image. Faces and eyes come out sharp and expressive, fabric and lace keep fine detail, and shadows stay heavy and dramatic. It handles single portraits, full body scenes, multi panel manga pages, and empty atmospheric scenery with no characters.

Alright just to write a proper comment!
Normally i don't bother with Style LORAs because Krea2 / Sick Ollie seemingly can do anything, but i made an exception here. Was pretty fun to waste a whole night with.
One issue i found was that the images often have either no iris / pupil, or a poorly rendered one. Also, many times i could get a very similar image (with perfectly drawn eyes) without the LORA. However the resulting style of the characters is often very different, so it's still a LORA worth using.
For reference, the best for my checkpoint (Sick Ollie INT8 version) is: 1264x2048, ER SDE / Simple, ~9-12 steps. This gave the least issue with the eyes.
TBH many images looked so absolutely "evil" / "insane" with this LORA that i do hesitate to post like half of them. Also some elements always trigger subtle colors, like: Fire, cigarette glow, whiskey glass, certain words like "leaf".
- Well, as always thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for the feedback
Just looking through my recent posts. Gotta say that, while we can do so much realistic and colorful stuff krea2, the massive black monochrome in this LORA is something different. It's like the black ink is drawing you in, fascinating art style.
@LurkingAI i didn't encounter the weird eyes issue during my first test and creating example images , but last night that I was creating some Noir style male portraits I realized it happens often for the full body and far figure portraits , I will update and stabilize it
