Does everything from vintage live action comic villains, to guy in a big rubber suit monsters, to replacing someone's arm with a shrunken orangutan head. See terms section below.

"Tokusatsu" is a Japanese term for live-action films or television programs that make heavy use of practical special effects.

Some general suggestions

• Strength 0.5-1.4 depending what sampler/prompt/steps/style/etc. In general, higher is more absurd and retro styled but prompt adherence/clarity starts going (but not always). Start around .7-.8.

• talk about costumes, replacing body parts, give attributes of living things to inanimate objects (i.e. angry walnut, crying fire hydrant, etc.), or any combination of those things.

• consider "costume" as a living being itself for crazier results when prompting, or as something one wears.

• tell it what the costume is made of when needed

• with shorter prompts at higher strengths, this is prone to plain solid color backgrounds. Mention background or what they are doing, and it fixes it. I don't mind it, but if this is popular and people would like me to, I'll take the time to retrain (and will replace the offending data set images with submissions from here).

• see examples for replacing body parts. it takes patience and can't do it every time but is pretty consistent

• An example image or two may have snuck in from an earlier training epoch. Apologies.
