• Notes: Bangs are optional, also recommend adding dreadlocks/braids/afro/bangs/curly to get different creative styles. I really like very dark skin myself and I only have one lora of my own that creates that so I wanted to add more by making this Niji lora inspired by Adut Akech. I also recommend using the saturation lora I used in the previews, you can increase or decrease the redness of the skintone with this. :3 For men I recommend using the "mature_male" tag.

Creator’s Guide for ‘Beautiful Mahogany’ Style

Overview:

The 'Beautiful Mahogany' style is designed to enhance and highlight deep, rich skin tones and features within a character design, offering an elegant, grounded look with striking contrasts and natural beauty. This style emphasizes the refinement of features, such as fuller lips, well-defined cheekbones, and rich textures, creating a sense of warmth and sophistication in the artwork.

Key Characteristics to Highlight:

1. Facial Structure and Features:

   • Nose: Focus on a more rounded and balanced shape that adds depth to the character’s face. Ensure the nose is portrayed with soft contours and natural proportions.

   • Lips: The lips should have a fuller, defined shape, with a smooth, soft curvature that complements the overall expression. Avoid exaggeration; instead, aim for a rich, natural fullness.

   • Eyes: Slightly larger, almond-shaped eyes add depth and expressiveness. The iris can be a focal point with rich, vibrant colors to enhance the eyes’ natural beauty.

   • Cheeks: Fuller cheeks can give the face structure and softness, creating a balanced, strong look that complements the other features.

2. Hair and Texture:

   • Curls: Incorporate a variety of textures, ranging from natural curls to loose waves, to evoke a sense of movement and vitality in the character’s hairstyle.

   • Styles: Consider different hairstyles, from loose and voluminous to sleek and controlled. Braids, twists, or other defined styles can add layers of richness to the look.

3. Skin Tones:

   • Deep, rich skin tones are central to this style. Focus on lighting and shading to enhance the depth and dimension of the skin, creating a soft glow that reflects light naturally.

   • Keep the gradients smooth to emphasize the beauty of the skin’s texture and avoid overly harsh contrasts that may flatten the features.

4. Posture and Expression:

   • The posture should be poised and graceful, exuding confidence. The expression can vary from serene to expressive, but should always feel natural and elegant.

   • Focus on capturing subtle emotions that contribute to the character’s presence without over-exaggerating facial expressions.
