Devastated Art Style - FLUX

WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE OF FLUX

V2:

I retrained using the same images as V1 but changing the captioning method. This improved the application of the effect. The image below illustrates the impact on same seed and same prompt between None, V1, and V2. Note the trigger word remains "devast8".

V1:

Testing and building some various styles in FLUX for artistic output. Looking at styles that deviate from the normal, clean output that FLUX already excels at. This is letting me gain knowledge on how FLUX adapts from training. Plus it gives me some creative LoRA's to begin experimenting mixing in generation prompts like I do in SDXL.

It took me a few tries to get this one right, but the results were worth it. Devastated Art Style helps push FLUX into the murky horror depths and achieve the dark aesthetic I have been wanting from it. It adds the right amount of dark elements to give images that creepy factor. It will push toward heavy handed black tones at higher strengths.

The trigger word for the LoRA is "devast8". In my tests the trigger word actually did seem to be needed quite often to trigger the effect. With FLUX, I find it can be challenging to recommend a set weight for a LoRA because different prompts seem to cause various levels of "resistance" within FLUX to style changes. I would start at 1.25 and adjust up or down there based on the prompt.

Glad I persisted because this was the look I was craving to experiment with in FLUX.
