An unofficial Krea 2 style LoRA trained on panels from Den: Neverwhere by Richard Corben.

About the artist

Richard Corben (1940-2020) was an American comics artist from Missouri, known for his airbrushed colour, sculpted muscular figures and dark humour. Den grew out of his short animated film Neverwhere and ran in Heavy Metal from its first issues in 1977. He also drew horror for Warren, Hellboy stories with Mike Mignola, and many Edgar Allan Poe and Lovecraft adaptations, and he was inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame. Please look for his books and support the estate.

What this LoRA does

CrbnDnStl gives Corben's 1970s airbrush look: glossy, heavily modelled bodies, saturated orange, yellow and violet skies, smooth gradients, alien temples and ruins, insect-men and lizard guards, hooded cultists and heroic nudes. Ordinary fantasy prompts come out as Heavy Metal covers.

Usage

Trigger word: CrbnDnStl

Put CrbnDnStl, illustration in Krea 2's top/style input and describe the scene in the bottom prompt. Tested with Krea 2 Turbo at LoRA strength 1.0. Heroes, monsters, sorcerers and strange landscapes bring out the style most.

Notes: the source comic is full of nudity, so the LoRA often undresses characters that the prompt does not; describe clothing or armour explicitly if you need safe-for-work results. Some panels had speech balloons and sound effects, so add text to your negative prompt if lettering appears.

Included version

• Final (1000 steps, 285 panels, trained on Krea 2 Raw).
