This style LoRA is based on Juanjo Guarnido’s artwork for Blacksad, the noir comic series he makes with writer Juan Díaz Canales. It reproduces his look: anthropomorphic animals in 1950s American settings, painted in watercolour over confident, animation-trained drawing. Expect expressive faces, lively poses, warm amber lamplight against cool blue shadows, and cluttered period detail such as fedoras, trench coats, jazz clubs, cigarette smoke and rain-soaked streets. Since Guarnido trained in animation, characters keep a lot of personality even in quiet scenes.

Trigger word: BlacksadStyle

Usage

• Put the trigger word first, then describe the animal character, outfit and setting.

• Start at strength 0.8–1.0.

• The LoRA works best with animal characters. Human subjects tend to pick up animal features. If you want people, lower the strength and describe them clearly as human.

• Noir and period settings suit it best. Lighting words like “lamplight”, “night rain” and “smoky bar” help with mood.

• Some outputs may include speech balloons or captions from the comic pages. Add “no text, no speech bubbles” if you don’t want them.
