nectarine's surrealism

A surrealism LoRA for Krea2 trained to deliberately break its clean, hyper-realistic look.

What it does

Krea2 is excellent at producing polished, “perfect” images. This LoRA was made to do the opposite.
Trained on a curated collection of 1,000 surrealism-focused photographs, it pushes the model toward strange, dreamlike, and sometimes unsettling results even from very simple prompts.

Use it when you want:

• distorted anatomy and unexpected forms

• dream logic and visual paradoxes

• a clear break from photorealism

• weird, memorable images that feel like they came from a surrealist painting or a fever dream

How to use

• Trigger word: nectarine

• Recommended strength: 1.0 – 3.0

  • Around 1.0–1.5 → subtle surreal distortion while keeping most of the original structure

  • 2.0–2.5 → strong surreal transformation

  • 3.0–4.0 → the image becomes almost completely different — full surrealist breakdown

You can keep prompts very short and still get interesting results. The LoRA does most of the heavy lifting.

Training details

• Base model: Krea2

• Dataset: ~1,000 surrealism-themed photographs

• Steps: 2,000

• Epochs: 10

• Network dimension / alpha: 32 / 32

• Optimizer: AdamW 8-bit

• Learning rate: 1e-4 (constant)

• Text encoder: not trained

• Engine: ai-toolkit

Tips

• Start with simple prompts + the trigger word and dial the strength up until you like the level of weirdness.

• Higher strengths work especially well when you want the model to ignore its usual “perfect” tendencies.

• Works great for abstract, conceptual, or experimental generations.

Feel free to experiment and share what you create. I’d love to see the strange things this LoRA helps you make.

Enjoy the surreal.
