Classic DBZ Characters & Hand-Drawn Cel Anime Style for Krea 2

Bring back the energy, colors, expressive characters and hand-drawn impact of classic 1990s martial-arts anime.

AstroDBZStyleV01 is a large multi-character and visual-style LoRA created for the Krea 2 model family and showcased primarily with Krea 2 Turbo. It combines a trained classic cel-animation aesthetic with a huge collection of recognizable heroes, villains, transformations, age variants, hairstyles, outfits and unusual character states.

This is much more than a single-character LoRA. The dataset contains:

• 845 curated image-caption pairs

• 678 character-focused training images

• 167 style-only training images

• 60 organized character groups

• 84 distinct character, transformation, age, hairstyle and material variants

• Heroes, villains, androids, Saiyans, Namekians, fusions, gods, creatures and supporting characters

• Character close-ups, action scenes, environments, objects, crowds and visual-effects frames

• Bright, balanced, dark and extremely dramatic color moods

• Blue, cyan, green, teal, red, orange, magenta, violet, purple, neutral and golden palettes

The style-only portion of the dataset was deliberately included to strengthen backgrounds, energy effects, crowds, painted scenery, lighting and the overall cel-animation language instead of teaching only isolated faces.

Activation Token

Main activation token:

AstroDBZStyleV01

Every caption in the complete dataset begins with this token.

What the LoRA Has Learned

Classic Cel-Animation Style

The model was trained around a strong traditional animation language:

• Bold and readable black ink outlines

• Flat saturated color regions

• Layered two-tone cel shading

• Painted environmental backgrounds

• Dramatic action-anime lighting

• Strong character silhouettes

• Expressive faces and exaggerated poses

• Energy auras, beams, sparks and impact effects

• Analog animation and screen-print texture

• Speed lines, impact frames and dynamic camera angles

• Classic 1990s martial-arts anime atmosphere

Character Identity

The character portion focuses on:

• Recognizable facial structures

• Character-specific hair and transformations

• Signature outfits and armor

• Species-specific anatomy

• Saiyan, Namekian, android, demon, alien and magical-creature body types

• Character-specific colors and accessories

• Different ages and life stages

• Hairstyle variations

• Transformation-specific eyes, hair, auras and physiques

• Special states such as Petrified Krillin

• Mechanical reconstruction such as Mecha Frieza

• Fusion forms such as Gotenks, Buutenks and Buuhan

Environments and Effects

The 167 style-focused images help the LoRA respond to:

• Painted landscapes

• Rocky battlefields

• Tournament arenas

• Cities and destroyed cities

• Alien planets

• Namekian environments

• Laboratories and spacecraft interiors

• Crowds and background figures

• Energy beams and glowing auras

• Explosions, smoke and debris

• Bright, dark and color-specific lighting conditions

This means the LoRA can also be used as a general classic martial-arts anime style LoRA with original characters.

Recommended Krea 2 Turbo Settings

These are reliable starting values for testing:

• Base model: Krea 2 Turbo

• LoRA strength: 0.8–1.0

• Recommended starting strength: 1.0

• Steps: 8

• CFG: 1

• Sampler: Euler

• Scheduler: Simple

For more flexibility when mixing this LoRA with another character or style LoRA, reduce the strength toward 0.65–0.85.

For the strongest classic cel-animation appearance and recognizable trained forms, start around 0.9–1.0.

Suggested Aspect Ratios

• 1:1 for CivitAI showcase grids and character portraits

• 4:5 for promotional character posters

• 2:3 for full-body scenes

• 9:16 for cinematic action shots and vertical comic covers

• 16:9 for battles, group scenes and wide painted environments

For full-body generations, explicitly describe the complete figure, pose, footwear or tail, camera angle and surrounding environment.

Prompting Tips

Put the trigger first

Start every prompt with:

AstroDBZStyleV01,

Use the exact form keyword

Write:

AstroDBZStyleV01, Frieza, final form, ...

instead of using only:

AstroDBZStyleV01, Frieza, ...

when you want a specific transformation.

Describe the action clearly

The model responds especially well when the prompt includes:

• A readable body action

• A clear direction of movement

• A defined gaze target

• A specific camera angle

• Energy color

• Key and rim lighting

• A recognizable environment

• Foreground and background elements

Build cinematic asymmetry

For more dynamic results, place the character on the left or right third, use diagonal motion, foreground objects, tilted terrain, sweeping capes, energy trails or environmental framing.

Comic text and cover layouts

Krea 2 can combine this style with promotional comic layouts. Prompt exact title spelling and placement:

large clean readable comic title text spelling exactly “GOKU” across the lower-left edge

You can also add:

• Speech balloons

• Character nameplates

• Halftone shadows

• Tilted inset panels

• Torn comic borders

• Speed lines

• Screen-print texture

• Sound effects such as BOOM!, KRAK!, WHOOSH! or FLASH!

Example Full Prompt

AstroDBZStyleV01, Super Saiyan Goku launches forward with fierce heroic determination, complete full body visible from golden hair to blue-and-yellow boots, one fist leading and the opposite knee raised, looking toward an approaching enemy. Dramatic low-angle three-quarter action view, Goku placed on the left third, diagonal flight path, rocky battlefield, shattered boulders, blue-white energy trails, blazing golden aura, warm sunset behind dark storm clouds, cyan rim lighting, bold clean inked outlines, flat saturated colors, layered two-tone cel shading, painted scenery, subtle analog animation grain.

Showcase Images

The gallery contains a large selection of:

• Base characters

• Age variations

• Hairstyle variations

• Full-body action scenes

• Close-up character portraits

I wanted the showcase to demonstrate the range of the LoRA rather than repeating one character and one camera angle. Try different forms, unusual backgrounds, cinematic lighting and custom comic-cover designs.

If you create something great with it, please post your result. I would love to see which characters, transformations and visual combinations work best for you.

Ratings, feedback and example images are always appreciated and help improve future versions.
