# The Nightmare Before Christmas 1993

A style LoRA for Krea 2. Applies a consistent visual treatment without locking the subject matter.

## Usage

Include the trigger word *tnbc** in your prompt.

Recommended weight: 1. Start there and adjust — styles often read well below 1.0, and lower weights blend more naturally with other LoRAs.

"tnbc, A stylized claymation figure with a round head, closed eyes, and a small red mouth rests against a dark surface, its arms loosely draped. The scene is dimly lit with soft, focused lighting, and the background is blurred with hints of colorful shapes, framed tightly on the figure’s upper body."

"tnbc, in a dimly lit, gothic interior, a skeletal figure in a striped suit holds an open book depicting a night sky scene, while another character in a top hat gestures from behind a wooden podium, and a third figure with a rounded head and long beak leans forward in the foreground. The scene is framed with low-angle perspective, emphasizing the characters’ expressions and the eerie, shadowy ambiance."

"tnbc, A whimsical, stop-motion animated scene depicts a group of quirky, stylized creatures in a decaying, cobblestone courtyard under a gloomy, overcast sky. A large, polka-dotted character stands near a ladder beside a cart, while others interact around a monstrous, toothy structure in the background, all framed with a wide, atmospheric shot."

"tnbc, A weathered, gothic-style clock tower stands under a dark, stormy sky, its face cracked and draped in cobwebs, with a sign reading “DAYS TO XMAS” below. String lights and tattered banners hang from its facade, illuminated by dim, eerie lighting, captured in a low-angle shot that emphasizes its imposing, decaying structure."

"tnbc, A towering, gothic-style structure with a metallic, segmented dome rises against a gloomy, overcast sky, framed from a low angle that emphasizes its imposing height. The scene is dimly lit with moody, atmospheric lighting, and includes barren trees and pumpkins in the foreground, suggesting a desolate, autumnal setting."
