Sup.

This is Sick Type. The original goal was trippy typography styles, nailed that and then found out it does way more. Strength needs to be ABOVE 1, works great at 2, also works great on my Sick Ollie model.

Probably going to upload a few variants, they're not improvements just different styles the training produced, I can't choose so pick your favorite.

Sick Type loves trippy things, vibrant thermal colors, saturation, making things melt, and long walks on a rainbow beach.

You don't really need a trigger, sicktype is trained but prompting overall does more. Gonna paste some ChatGPT listing of prompt segments that make it work, but it might work with more more than I'm aware of. If you paste the following in ChatGPT or Gemini or whatever with ideas on what kind of prompts you want to write, it'll know what to do;

1. Core trigger anchors

These are the main words that actually identify the concept.

Primary trigger

sicktype

Best text-object phrasing

sicktype lettering
sicktype thermal-drip effect
sicktype thermal distortion layer
sicktype-style trailing ribbons
sicktype-style deformation
sicktype-style chromatic runoff
sicktype-style contour echoes

The safest principle has been:

use sicktype as the trigger, then attach it to a specific carrier instead of hoping it just washes over the whole image.

2. The phrases that actually steer the effect

These are the most useful “do the thing” phrases.

Structural deformation

vertically stretched
vertically dragged
pulled downward
gravity-pulled
elongated
stretched into long vertical bands

softened and pulled downward
warped into long flowing bands
warped reflective runoff
distorted into long vertically dragged ribbon columns

Melt behavior

melting downward
softening and melting downward
liquefied
liquefied chromatic drips
partially melted
melted behavior
molten chromatic second skin
molten chromatic coating
molten thermal-drip layer
molten reflective drips
selected lower portions soften and collapse downward
the lower edge visibly softens, sags, and melts downward

Echo / duplication behavior

repeated contour echoes
ghosted color-separated copies
stacked contour echoes
repeated offset contour copies
ghosted duplicates
repeated chromatic contour echoes
duplicated contour layers

elongated luminous trails
dripping spectral streamers
hanging chromatic strands

3. The best “carrier” phrases

This is the big lesson from our testing. The LoRA behaves best when you clearly name what object or surface is being distorted.

Strong carrier assignment phrases

the primary deformation carrier is...
the main visual carrier is...
the outer silhouette is a major deformation carrier
the [object] acts as a secondary carrier
the [surface] is the strongest sicktype carrier
concentrate the deformation in...
the effect should be localized to...
the brightest reflected zones behave like...
only the [part] receives the effect
the [part] remains realistic while the [carrier] becomes distorted

Carriers that worked well in our prompts

the lettering
the chrome moon
the reflected highlights
the blade
the visor
the tentacles
the hair
the silhouette
the cast shadow
the halo
the tattoos
the ribbed bodysuit texture
the fog and smoke
the illuminated edges of the robes
the thermal-drip layer
the background immediately around the figure

4. Text-specific phrases that worked

These are especially useful when you want the effect to live in the typography.

Readable upper structure, melting lower structure

keep the upper structure of the lettering clean and readable
keep the main upper structure solid and readable
the lower portions of selected strokes soften and collapse downward
the lower edges of the letters stretch into...
the lower portions liquefy into long hanging drips
the lettering remains readable at its core
preserve the bold sweeping signature lettering style
keep the hot-pink signature lettering glossy, solid, and readable
the upper stroke structure remains readable while the lower edges dissolve

Text deformation language

mild liquid warping
slight liquid drag
stretched contour tension
softened melt-like warping
selected lower portions of the strokes liquefy downward
the yellow edge separates from the hot-pink core
the yellow edge partially peels away from the hot-pink core
creating doubled contours
creating sharp doubled contours
the letters extend downward into broad heat-map bands
stretched poster-like drips
overheated and vertically dragged poster ink
printed neon ink being heated and dragged downward

5. Body-effect phrases that worked

These were the phrases behind the “wearing the effect” images.

Core wearable effect phrases

wearing only a sicktype thermal-drip effect
wearing only a sicktype thermal distortion layer
visually wearing the effect instead of clothing
appears to be visually wearing only a sicktype thermal-drip effect
the effect wraps the chest, torso, waist, hips, and upper thighs
like a molten chromatic second skin
like a liquid chromatic second skin
like a heated neon fluid draped over the body
clings tightly in some areas
loosens and melts downward in others
follows the curves of the torso and hips
concentrated across the chest, waist, hips, and thighs

Material-behavior phrases

clings like a luminous membrane
clings like a second skin
broadens into translucent flowing sheets
narrows into thin glossy drips
forms concentrated bands of color
with a strong sense of gravity pulling it downward
merges visually with the hair
trace the body’s contours
wrap selected parts of the body
localized sicktype thermal-drip layer

6. Flat thermal / non-slime wording

This is the correction we made when things got too resin-like or syrupy.

Best anti-slime, pro-thermal phrases

flat grainy thermal distortion
vertically stretched contour bands
warped screen-print ink
chromatic drag
dry thermal smear
heat-map distortion
heat-warped bands
poster-print texture
flattened layered contour bands
flat laminated color fields
print-like
mostly matte
coarse analog grain visible inside the colored regions
saturated thermal imaging
printed color fields that have been vertically stretched
stretched poster color
the melted portions should resemble flat grainy thermal poster ink

Anti-slime steering phrases

do not resemble glossy slime
not glossy slime
not clear resin
not wet gel
not transparent liquid clothing
avoid rounded droplets
avoid transparent liquid forms
do not look chrome or glassy
flatter, print-like, grainy, and thermally warped

That last cluster turned out to be really important.

7. Chromatic / palette phrases

These are the colors that keep reading most “sicktype.”

Most-used effect colors

hot pink
cyan
violet
electric blue
orange
yellow
magenta

For flatter thermal looks

hot red
molten orange
intense magenta
ultraviolet purple
deep electric blue
bright white-yellow

Useful color-behavior phrases

chromatic separation
color-separated copies
internally split into cyan, hot pink, violet, orange, and yellow bands
visible color separation
strong color separation
repeated color-separated echoes
channels of color
stacked color contours

8. Surface / texture phrases

These helped sell the material feel.

Print / grain / finish

fine analog grain
subtle sensor grain
poster-print texture
print texture
coarse grain
deep grain
soft halation
slight halation
restrained halation
subtle neon bloom
slight edge vibration
offset-print texture

believable shadow falloff
full-frame camera look
luxurious print-poster feel

9. Silhouette / echo phrases

These have been especially strong.

Best silhouette phrasing

silhouette-edge splitting
silhouette-edge echoing
the outer silhouette is a major deformation carrier
the silhouette visibly peels outward

stacked chromatic copies drift laterally away from the body
synthetic contour field
chromatic aura around the figure
lateral motion wake
repeated contour copies trailing to one side
the silhouette copies sag downward and merge into the effect
radiating outward from the figure
detached contour copies drop downward in long echo columns

10. Moon / reflection phrases

These were useful in the cosmic poster work.

Good moon/reflection language

the chrome moon is a secondary carrier
keep most of the moon solid and recognizable
concentrate the deformation along the lower rim
the lower rim visibly softens and melts downward
reflective neon runoff
warped reflective bands
mirrored chromatic runoff
molten mirrored light
stretched reflections
the brightest reflected bands visibly melt downward
the moon remains a photographed reflective surface
real reflective chrome prop
the moon drips remain behind her body
the upper two-thirds remain stable

11. Hair phrases that worked

Strong hair language

extremely long pin-straight black hair
hangs downward with gravity
sleek vertical sheets
hair acts as a secondary deformation carrier
selected outer strands split into repeated contour echoes
lower lengths merge with the effect
hair remains photographic near the scalp
farther down it begins to merge visually
elongated black liquid strands
hot pink, cyan, and violet edge fringes
flat chromatic afterimages extending from the hair

12. Phrases that were too vague and less helpful

These sound cool but don’t steer enough on their own.

Weak / vague phrases

with sicktype vibes
infused with sicktype vibes
push the sicktype effect
make it more sicktype
touched by sicktype
unmistakably sicktype
make the effect more visible
more of the effect
let the effect crawl across the image
add sicktype energy
sicktype transformation by itself without specifics

These are not useless, but they work much better after you’ve already named the carrier and the deformation behavior.

13. Best “instructional” phrases we learned to use

These are the sentences that tend to make the LoRA behave.

the [object] is the primary deformation carrier
keep [part] realistic while [carrier] becomes distorted
concentrate the deformation specifically in...
the effect should remain localized to...
the upper structure remains stable while the lower structure melts downward
avoid glossy slime and transparent liquid forms
use flat grainy thermal distortion instead
the strongest deformation should occur along...
the effect should read as a wearable phenomenon rather than background lighting
the body remains photographic while the [carrier] takes on the deformation
keep enough of the figure unobstructed that the portrait remains primary

14. The strongest ready-to-use phrase clusters

These are probably the most useful “copy-paste chunks.”

For text

keep the upper structure of the lettering clean and readable, but let the lower portions of selected strokes soften and collapse downward into flat grainy thermal runoffs, vertically stretched contour bands, and elongated red-orange-magenta-violet streaks

For body-wear effect

she appears to be visually wearing only a sicktype thermal distortion layer across the chest, torso, waist, hips, and upper thighs, forming flattened layered contour bands and vertically dragged heat-map color fields rather than glossy slime

For silhouette

the outer silhouette is a major deformation carrier, producing repeated contour echoes that peel outward and trail to one side in stacked chromatic copies, forming a synthetic motion wake

For moon

keep most of the chrome moon solid and recognizable, but let the lower rim visibly soften and melt downward into several enormous gravity-pulled reflective drips with repeated chromatic contour echoes

For anti-slime correction

the effect should NOT resemble glossy slime, clear resin, wet gel, or transparent liquid clothing, and should instead read as flat grainy thermal distortion, warped screen-print ink, and vertically stretched contour bands

15. The core sicktype prompt formula we landed on

This is the clean structure behind most of the good prompts:

trigger
सicktype,

subject and realism anchor
a photorealistic ... photographed in a real studio ... real skin texture ...

carrier assignment
the primary deformation carrier is ...

behavior
it stretches downward into ... with repeated contour echoes ...
