Dark Dreams in Flux

This is a work-in-progress, published so I have somewhere to point my helpful testers at :-)

It’s a Flux LoRA not entirely unrelated to my SDXL embedding Dark World Dreams:

/model/243600/dark-world-dreams

It’s NOT a dark world / dark dream kinda thing with built-in monster stuff!

The idea is dark-toned pictures with certain types of shapes and glows that may or may not be dreamlike. Entirely subjective and it’s most likely a LoRA that needs to work in a recipe with other LoRAs than as a pure standalone effect.

Trained on Civitai with 60 1024x1024 hand-captioned images.

There’s no trigger as such, but using some of the training words in your prompt might help. In order from most to least used:

Suggested weights 0.8 <---> 1.0 if on its own, less if mixed with other LoRAs.

I’ve been using it in Forge with:

Steps: 20 <---> 40

Sampler: Euler

Schedule type: Simple

(The old CFG scale: 1)

Distilled CFG Scale: 3

If using Hires.fix, I’ve generally set:

Denoising strength: 0.4

Hires Distilled CFG Scale: 3

Hires upscale: 1.25 or 1.5 usually

Hires steps: 10

Hires upscaler: 4x_foolhardy_Remacri

Suggested checkpoints: Flux1 DEV, Fluxmania III, Fluxmania V.

The showcase images are simplistic, done in Flux1 DEV.
