Just the style.<hr /><h2 id="what-is-this">What is this</h2>A LoRA trained on 250 illustrations (8 of 20 planned cycles) created for the Russian children's book The book is about falling gracefully, getting up slowly, and being imperfect together.The model captures the visual language of those illustrations — and extends it far beyond the book's universe.<hr /><h2 id="honest-influences">Honest influences</h2>This style doesn't pretend to be original. It's a deliberate synthesis:<ul><li>Evgeny Migunov (Евгений Мигунов) — Soviet illustrator and animator. The nervous ink linework, the elastic character proportions, the "alive sketch" feeling come from him.</li><li>Boris Vallejo — the anatomical confidence, the dramatic presence of figures, the way a body occupies space.</li><li>KreaSketching (AdelAI) — the watercolor wash technique, the loose brushstrokes, the balance between control and accident.</li><li>Classical pulp illustration — the composition, the storytelling in a single frame.</li></ul>I'm not hiding any of this. The model is what it is because these sources are what they are.<hr /><h2 id="style-dna">Style DNA</h2><ul><li>Ink and watercolor on white paper (the white background is intentional — this is a sketch aesthetic, not a missing background)</li><li>Expressive, gestural linework</li><li>Loose color washes with deliberate accents</li><li>Characters with personality over polish</li><li>Emotion captured through pose and gesture</li><li>Works in color AND monochrome</li><li>Handles single characters, pairs, groups, animals, architecture, objects</li></ul><hr /><h2 id="what's-in-the-dataset">What's in the dataset</h2>250 images across 6 genres:<ul><li>Pulp fantasy &amp; sword-and-sorcery</li><li>Noir / thriller / mystery</li><li>Historical &amp; Victorian</li><li>Modern everyday life</li><li>Folklore &amp; fairy tale (including all main characters from the book)</li><li>Sci-fi &amp; speculative</li></ul>Plus:<ul><li>NSFW artistic studies (classical figure work, not pornographic)</li><li>Animal anatomy (rabbits, bears, cats, foxes, hedgehogs, wolves, robots, witches)</li><li>Architectural scenes</li><li>Group compositions (3+ figures)</li><li>Extreme emotional range (comedy, drama, horror, tenderness, grotesque)</li><li>Children's book illustrations</li></ul><hr /><h2 id="how-to-use">How to use</h2>No trigger word.
