SynthMomo — Bold Brushstroke Illustration Style
A style LoRA that produces bold, dark digital illustrations with saturated color palettes, semi-flat rendering, pale skin tones, and moody atmospheric backgrounds. Works across characters, creatures, environments, and objects.
This LoRA comes in two versions:
🔴 HARD — Heavy, textured brushstrokes with a raw, graphic feel. Maximum style impact. Trained at 3500 steps.
🔵 SOFT — Smoother, lighter brushwork with a more refined and polished look. Same palette and mood, gentler rendering. Trained at 2000 steps.
Pick the version that fits your project — or try both and blend to taste with LoRA strength.
🔑 Trigger Word
D4RKM0M0s3
Place it at the beginning of your prompt, followed by a comma:
D4RKM0M0s3, portrait of an old wizard wearing layered robes and a tall hat, holding a glowing staff
The trigger activates the style. Everything after it describes your subject — don't describe the style itself, the LoRA handles that.

Tips:
HARD is more intense — start at 0.75 strength and go lower if it overpowers the prompt
SOFT is more forgiving — you can push strength higher without losing prompt adherence
Use Flux2Scheduler for best results (native FLUX scheduler)
Works best at 1024px resolution — lower resolutions may lose detail
