In case you don't know what liquid chalk markers are, it's what a lot of cafe menu boards and signs are hand-drawn with. It dries so it isn't easy to wipe off, but it's still temporary art that can be washed away with a wet sponge.
Krea 2 can't seem to get the look right consistently; it tends to add dry chalk grain when it shouldn't. This version should be more consistent and look more authentic. It's perfect for mimicking cafe signs, but it's also good for off-label use as an illustration style.
Use "n0vuschr0ma style" as the trigger (best toward the beginning if the prompt is long). It isn't necessary to specify "liquid chalk marker", but you may need to specify that you want it on a black chalkboard if you're going for an authentic look. Liquid chalk doesn't flow out of the markers evenly and they dry out over time, so I find it really helps to add "streaky" here and there in the prompt.

Ok, what's the end goal here? I followed a week or so ago and it's been raining these cool loras non-stop. Is this collect them all type of thing? Each lora even has a number - very organized.
It's the same trigger word for all your loras. It may be a very cool thing. Have you tried to mix them, any good combo you'd suggest? It'd be really nice to have an article in the end that would compare them all. I know it's tons of work and there's a big chance we'll never to see it, but that would be really really cool.
Krea2 has quite permissive license. This site has always been bad with specifying and displaying license conditions. The icons show free for commercial use and credit requirement. I'm asking more about outputs, not the files themselves. I'd assume that would be free to use. Just wanted to clarify.
In any case, it's hard to express in words how refreshing what you do is and how much joy it brings just to see new styles. Great work!
I save my datasets using numbers. Most styles don't get proper titles until I see the output. I trained almost 300 styles for SDXL. If you see the same number prefix on filenames between models, that means they came from the same dataset. For retraining, I'm skipping around and refining datasets as I go. My SDXL styles stopped at 284, so any numbers above that are currently unique to Krea 2. I have an article where I explain some of this in more detail: https://civitai.com/articles/9050/how-i-organize-styles
As for my motivation, I simply like collecting visual styles. I was collecting images in style inspiration folders on my computer before AI came along. Art has always been a hobby and I've dabbled in a lot (everything from drawing to photography to sculpting). I've also had a few commercial art jobs. In fact, I've had jobs where I made signs using liquid chalk markers - that was what inspired this style.
Posting to Civitai just gives me something to do with the styles other than hoard them for myself on my computer. I also think of it as a way of having online backups. I don't police the images people make with styles after I upload them and wouldn't expect credit. I do like seeing images people make with them, but that's just for my own curiosity.
I experiment with combining styles sometimes. I was going to start posting some examples to the image feeds, but maybe I'll make an article for it at some point too.
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad other people are enjoying these.
