🔑 Trigger Word

No trigger word needed. This LoRA applies its style automatically — just describe your subject and it will render in the Dustbone aesthetic.

⚠️ The LoRA was trained with D4RKM0M0s2 as trigger, but using it is not recommended as it tends to generate visible text artifacts in the image. Simply omit it for clean results.
