<h2 id="dotstyle-rv4ewkwpz">DotStyle</h2>An experimental style for creating abstract images containing dots and bokeh. Early stage, needs some practice to get good results. <h3 id="good-tags-to-use-j9m2n3m7a">Good tags to use</h3><ul><li>dotstyle</li><li>abstract</li><li>glowing</li><li>bokeh</li><li>colorful</li></ul><h3 id="how-to-use-it-ox6p1gu3x">How to use it</h3>The dots need a place to go, so do not describe everything in the picture, because then you will struggle to see any effect. For example here is an image with a lora wight of 0 (so lora nor used) using the following tags<pre><code>dotstyle, colorful, abstract, ship, ocean, waves, stormy sky, lightning,</code></pre><img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/9acfb0ed-590b-49c7-8e21-094badb08379/width=525/9acfb0ed-590b-49c7-8e21-094badb08379.jpeg" /> With increased lora weight we get a much more colorful image, but no dots: <img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/cc3642e5-0633-4b82-aebd-866fcee89072/width=525/cc3642e5-0633-4b82-aebd-866fcee89072.jpeg" /> If you are lucky or increase the weight to 1.4 you might get something like this:<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/b1dc7079-f09f-4ff7-9b0c-ea10734ca6b5/width=525/b1dc7079-f09f-4ff7-9b0c-ea10734ca6b5.jpeg" /> That's more like it, but maybe a bit much. The abstract keyword really kicked in here. If you now keep the prompt simpler and do not describe the sky and use the following prompts:<pre><code>dotstyle, colorful, abstract, ship, ocean, waves,</code></pre>you get the desired dots, because there is room for the model to place them somewhere: <img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/c69031c5-a22d-44e9-bebc-655e335888df/width=525/c69031c5-a22d-44e9-bebc-655e335888df.jpeg" />
