Clean-line characters surrounded by home-built machines. Think flat cel colour with one shadow tone, thin dark outlines, pink-blushed cheeks, and plain backdrops in mustard, mint, coral or dusty pink. The signature move is a ring of retro gadgets floating around the figure, joined by coiled black cables: speakers, gauges, riveted boxes, plugs, glowing canisters and katakana labels.

Trigger word: k0r1ki

How to use it

Start every prompt with k0r1ki, . After that, describe the picture in plain sentences, the way you'd caption it:

1. The character's face: hair, eye colour, brows, nose, mouth, expression

2. What she's doing, and her clothes

3. The props her job or hobby would give her

4. A plain background colour ("Plain mint-green background.")

Leave out style words such as "anime", "flat colours" or "illustration". The trigger carries the look, and those words pull the base model back toward its own anime style.

The floating machinery only shows up when you ask for it. Name the gadgets you want ("floating around her are a teal speaker, a pressure gauge and a coiled cable") and leave them out when you want a figure alone.

Settings

Tips

• Give every face a quirk in the brows, nose or mouth: thick straight brows, a long pointed chin, a lopsided half-smile. Otherwise every face drifts toward the same blushing bob.

• If a figure stands next to a big object, say which way she faces and where her feet are, and add a ground shadow. Without that, Krea sometimes turns one foot backwards.

• Scenes with no character in them get a weaker effect. Only one training image had no person in it.
