Expect hand-painted textures, sketchy linework, parchment/paper vibes, and bold focal subjects (helmets, masks, pilots, armored figures, creatures, walkers, ships) often framed like a collectible illustration plate.Trigger No dedicated trigger word. “YFG-Stranje” (sometimes seen as “YFG-Strange”) was present in dataset captions, but it’s not required.

Slightly stronger training for enhanced effect at lower settings. "er_sde" sampler works best in testing.
