V2 NOTES: Paste Crime has had a fairly substantial rebuild under the hood. The original model worked, but after more testing with Krea2 I changed how I approach captioning, activation, prompting, and workflow support. CHANGES:Re-captioned AND re-trained from scratch. New natural-language activation phrase: A mixed-media editorial compositionRemoved the old arbitrary p@stecrime trigger from the revised training approach. No more nonsense tokens (I'm learning as I go!)Updated prompting guide. The new guide reflects how Paste Crime actually behaves after testing: photography, illustration, manga, collage, abstraction, typography, and editorial composition can all be used without forcing every image into the same recipe.Less “kitchen sink” prompting. Paste Crime works best when you give it a subject, a medium, and a few useful controls, then let the LoRA decide how to intervene.Wildcard support. I built a Paste Crime wildcard library from the model's visual vocabulary, including direct categories and higher-order presets for controlled randomization and faster exploration. Wildcards are available as an optional download. Just plug them into your custom wildcard folder and use a compatible wildcard workflow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paste Crime doesn’t care what you start with, it just wants to interfere with it!!Built from a wildly varied mixed media dataset (including some of my own graphic design portfolio), Paste Crime can transform photography, manga, illustration, portraits, architecture, still life, animals, and whatever other nonsense you decide to throw at it.Rather than forcing everything into one fixed aesthetic, it reacts to the image itself. Depending on the subject and prompt, it can introduce hand drawn marks, ink and manga linework, pasted paper elements, crude doodles, graphic symbols, halftones, typography, bold color fields, photographic fragments, print textures, or full on collage chaos.That flexibility is the point.The A/B examples below use the same seeds and prompts. They show what Paste Crime is actually doing beneath the obvious collage elements: altering line quality, composition, graphic weight, texture, color, and the overall visual language of the image.Use it lightly. Push it hard. Give it something weird. Don't be afraid to try using it with other combinations of LoRA's. Give it hell.Included is a plug and play LLM prompting guide. Load it up into your preferred LLM, explain your subject or vision and let the prompt guide construct the perfect layout! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Part of my experimental branch of graphic design layouts I'm trying to create in Krea2. While Krea can absolutely do editorial layouts, I'm creating these styles as specific types of graphical languages. New outfits for your designer to wear, so to speak. Check out the following A/B results to see how it performs: <img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/2c188537-3414-4a41-8bb6-9750ee7604b6/original=true/2c188537-3414-4a41-8bb6-9750ee7604b6.jpeg" /> <img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/873eaeb1-ffda-4289-ba11-c3d975353fef/original=true/873eaeb1-ffda-4289-ba11-c3d975353fef.jpeg" /><img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/c3a6e896-95ba-4cce-9a62-8d5db61ef805/original=true/c3a6e896-95ba-4cce-9a62-8d5db61ef805.jpeg" />

Paste Crime - Mixed Media Graphic Style [KREA2]

Paste Crime has had a fairly substantial rebuild under the hood. The original model worked, but after more testing with Krea2 I changed how I approach captioning, activation, prompting, and workflow support. CHANGES:<ul><li>Re-captioned AND re-trained from scratch. The training set was rebuilt around natural language captions rather than the older tag/trigger heavy approach.</li><li>New natural-language activation phrase: <code>A mixed-media editorial composition</code></li><li>Removed the old arbitrary <code>p@stecrime</code> trigger from the revised training approach. No more nonsense tokens (I'm learning as I go!)</li><li>Updated prompting guide. The new guide reflects how Paste Crime actually behaves after testing: photography, illustration, manga, collage, abstraction, typography, and editorial composition can all be used without forcing every image into the same recipe.</li><li>Less “kitchen sink” prompting. Paste Crime works best when you give it a subject, a medium, and a few useful controls, then let the LoRA decide how to intervene.</li><li>Wildcard support.
