Limbo Influence

I am admittedly kind of a noob at this, but if you enjoy my humble work, any donations are greatly appreciated: https://ko-fi.com/insult_to_ninjary

Your generosity helps me stay motivated to keep improving and to keep trying new things!

Thankfully, this LoRA turned out pretty stable, not too much fuss. As the name implies, this LoRA will give your image backgrounds an aesthetic similar to the game Limbo (shadowy, hazy, grainy, etc.). With the right prompts and base models, you can probably even get them entirely greyscale, just like the game. Sometimes you can get that effect without prompting for it too, but not all the time. I didn't prompt for it in my sample images because I liked how they turned out without it. Even in the images with color, you can still feel the dark, shadowy Limbo influence in them.

The LoRA does not seem to affect characters all too much, as the sample images show. It sometimes makes their clothes and/or hair darker, but that's about it. Characters will still fit in with the overall mood of the image, but don't expect their style to change too much from what the base model usually does. Use this LoRA mainly for its effect on backgrounds and landscape pictures.

Here are some other usage tips:

1. Use with a weight of 1. I assume raising the weight will make the images look more like a 2D platformer, but I haven't really tested it. You can give it a try if you want. There's probably not any reason to go lower than 1 with the weight unless you're getting some weird gens.

2. The LoRA seems to work with a variety of base models, but it works best with anime/cartoon style models. The more realistic you go, the less like the game it will look, although you'll still get the dark, shadowy vibe to varying extents.

3. Use a VAE, especially if your chosen base model doesn't have one baked in!

4. Upscale or use Hires. fix with a quality upscaler.

If you make anything awesome, please consider posting them to the gallery! That goes for all of my LoRAs! I really like seeing what kind of stuff you all are able to make!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I will try my best to help! Also, if you have any ideas for future LoRAs, please don't hesitate to share them with me!
