Woodcut / relief-engraving style inspired by the calavera prints of José Guadalupe Posada (1852–1913), the Mexican printmaker who created La Catrina. Made for Día de Muertos and Halloween, but it works on almost any subject: astronauts, cats, trains, baristas, wolves...

▸ Trigger word: posada grabado

▸ Recommended weight: 0.8 – 1.0

▸ Base model: Illustrious XL v2.0 (also works on most Illustrious/NoobAI merges)

TIPS

• Add "monochrome" to the prompt for modern subjects (spaceships, cars…) so no color leaks in.

• Negative prompt: text, border, signature, color, lowres, blurry

• Add "no humans" for scenes without people.

• Works best at 30 steps, CFG 5–6, Euler a.

• Hands with instruments (guitars) can deform a bit; try a couple of seeds.
