This LoRA is trained to help generate illustrations of men riding a traditional totora reed raft (caballito de totora style), specifically in the prone paddling position seen in the Rapa Nui (Easter Island) Tau'a competition.
Goal / Intended use
Depict a muscular male figure lying prone on a narrow, elongated, tightly bundled golden reed raft, paddling through ocean waves in a dynamic, action-oriented manner. The raft features the characteristic spindle-like shape, fibrous woven texture, visible bindings.
Trigger words (standard – put at the beginning of prompt): totraft, prone_on_totraft
Optional triggers (use with caution – inconsistent results): sitting_on_totraft or riding_totraft → for sitting/astride poses (heavily biased toward prone, so results can be unstable or mixed with prone elements)
Suggested positive prompt additions:
lying prone on golden reed raft, fiber bundles, fibrous texture, spindle-like narrow elongated raft, body stretched forward, arms extended forward paddling, legs extended trailing, riding ocean waves, water splashing around body, dynamic water motion
Strongly recommended negative prompt inclusions:
monochrome, wooden raft, wood, surfboard, boat, wooden plank, flat raft, black raft, black edges, inflatable, floatie, neon, bright yellow,
Orientation recommendation:
Landscape compositions seem to work best (3:2, 4:3, 16:9 or similar wide aspect ratios)
Current limitations (honest disclosure):
The raft depiction is still fairly inconsistent — sometimes the bundling, texture or shape weakens or drifts toward surfboard/flat board/floatie.
The LoRA unfortunately interferes somewhat with the base model style (thicker lines, more saturated colors, slightly flatter shading). Lower LoRA strength (0.6–0.8) usually reduces the style impact, but it also raises the chance for the raft to look inconsistent (weaker bundling, flatter texture, less defined structure, or drift toward surfboard/flat board). For best balance, test strengths around 0.85–0.95 and use targeted raft descriptors in the prompt.
Best results seen at LoRA strength 0.85–0.95 on Illustratious / anime-illustration tuned bases.
