    Important: use with 0.7 strength.

    Go above 0.7 only if the effect is too subtle; otherwise, stay at 0.7

    This Lora is truly fantastic (one of my favourite) and reproduces the graphic style of dark novel comics. Dark and moody, with a heavy use of black and white, creating a stark contrast. The textures are rough and brush-like, giving a raw, unfinished feel. The artwork seems to be influenced by expressionism and possibly horror comic art, with exaggerated features and intense shading that suggests depth and form.

    Amazing! Any chance for a SD1.5 version?

    Cool, but you need to set it much higher than 0.7 to get any visible effect

    Seems it doesn’t like nsfw?

    After trying few of your LoRas I can just say quality of your work is amazing. No triggers needed, "it just works". And yea, its 1st time me writing such words on civitai. TYVM for sharing.

    This is an excellent LoRA that delivers exactly what it has promised. But depending on the model and the prompt used, a weight of 0.7 maybe not be enough. Sometimes I have to go as high as 1.0 to get the effect to kick in.

    For example, using Paradox 3, I cannot get the prompt "a ghost looking at the camera <lora:Dark_Novel:0.7>" to show the image as a drawing until I went to a weight of 0.9.

    I am getting a near identical image any time I mention 'man' in the prompt. I have changed my checkpoint a bunch to no effect.

    If I remove the LoRA, then I get some variance. What could be causing this?

    Example

    LORA
    SDXL 1.0
