🎨 Mood & Shading LoRA
I made this LoRA because one of my style LoRAs wasn’t capturing shading or atmosphere correctly, everything looked too flat.
This LoRA focuses on adding strong mood lighting and comic-style shading, inspired by the dark, dramatic look of horror comics from the 2010s.
✨ Features
Adds rich shading and mood lighting to characters and scenes.
Comes with six moods you can mix and match:
warmgoldxl1
,dayneutralxl1
,coldwarmxl1
,greenxl1
,warmnightxl1
,coldnightxl1
Works standalone or stacked with other style LoRAs without washing out colors.

💡 Tips

📚 Training Info
Dataset Size: ~288 images
Focused on cleanly colored horror comics with a variety of lighting setups
Trained for color depth and atmosphere, not characters, but it picked up a little bit of comic-style flair along the way.
⚠️ Known Limitations
At very high weights (>1.0), some images may oversaturate or soften facial details.
Backgrounds may subtly inherit lighting elements from the dataset (e.g. framed portraits, eerie backdrops).
