Laconic:

The Paper Stage is a LoRA meant to take your character and turn them into a paper stand-out against papercraft settings, making the setting to look more like a display. Taking the character deliberately out of their setting is perfect if you're looking for more of a character highlight than a setpiece but don't want to make due with a simple background.

Wildcards I made and used for all the versions of the The Paper Stage LoRA can be downloaded here.

Loquacious:

This LoRA works pretty well out-of-box, though I tend to like to use the prompts:
