Model description
ta86_lightlab – LoRA Description
Please read the version Notes ;)
Made this for different reason, but most of all I wanted to get my lighting for some checkpoints better. ZIT and Flux have way more influence for persons (less asian, less Flux Style. This is on purpose!)
ta86_lightlab is a painterly, cinematic illustration and character rendering LoRA that transforms people, portraits, figures and environments into emotionally charged compositions shaped by expressive light, soft brush textures and carefully sculpted shadow transitions.
Every image breathes atmosphere.
Every highlight feels intentional.
Every shadow carries emotion rather than weight.
This LoRA captures a visual language rooted in light, silence and painterly realism:
faces emerge naturally from shadow, skin retains organic texture and warmth, hair flows in soft painterly strands, and environments are defined by light interaction rather than excessive detail.
It is expressive, but restrained.
Romantic, but grounded.
Painterly, but never abstract.
The style blends realistic anatomy with fine-art brushwork, cinematic lighting and controlled edge softness, turning portraits, full body figures, symbolic scenes and landscapes into timeless visual moments.
Details dissolve into atmosphere: visible paint strokes, subtle grain, luminous highlights, gentle color harmony and natural shadow falloff.
Every image feels like a still frame from a poetic film or a classical painting reinterpreted through modern light.

💡 Tips
Use the trigger word ta86_lightlab for consistent results.
SDXL LoRA strength: 0.4 – 0.8
→ 0.6 works very well as an allround value
Flux LoRA strength: 0.3 – 1.2
→ I personally prefer around 0.6–0.8
→ Less for landscapes and hard lighting. More for portraits
ZIT LoRA strength: 0.2 – 1.0
→ I personally prefer around 0.4-0.6
→ Higher on artistic. Less for photoreal.
Push lighting and mood in prompts:
“dappled lighting”, “soft rim light”, “painterly shadows”,
“cinematic glow”, “natural skin texture”, “gentle contrast”.
Avoid hard comic, cel-shading or graphic ink terms.
Avoid flat lighting or ultra-sharp realism.
Let light describe form, not outlines.
