<h1 id="midnight-cel-():-surreal-late-night-retro-anime-style">Midnight Cel (深夜セル): Surreal late-night retro anime style</h1>A flat retro anime cel look with a tight crimson and teal palette: clean ink lines, flat shading, deep near-black shadows and a quiet, slightly uncanny mood.No trigger words needed. Just describe your scene in plain words and the LoRA does the rest.<h3 id="see-article-on-how-to-get-the-most-out-of-this-lora:https:civitai.comarticles38727midnight-cel-from-calm-to-fever-dream">See Article on how to get the most out of this LoRA: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/articles/38727/midnight-cel-from-calm-to-fever-dream">https://civarchive.com/articles/38727/midnight-cel-from-calm-to-fever-dream</a> </h3><h2 id="quick-start">Quick start</h2><ul><li>Base: Krea 2 Turbo, 8 steps, CFG 1, Euler / Simple</li><li>Strength: 1.0 (0.8 = softer and lets more of Krea's own look through)</li><li>Hires (recommended): latent upscale ×1.5, 4 steps, denoise 0.4</li><li>Optional polish: Detail Slider 0.4 + Aesthetic Masterpiece 0.3</li></ul>The example workflow (<code>SchmusPhantom_MidnightCel_workflow.json</code>) has all of this wired up.<h2 id="what-it-does-well">What it does well</h2><ul><li>Turns any subject into the style: cats, portraits, shops at night, classrooms, landscapes</li><li>The palette: teal and mint against crimson and pink, with flat skies and walls</li><li>Masks, ghosts, silhouettes and quiet uncanny scenes</li><li>Surreal and psychedelic: eyes, mandalas, melting rooms, floating creatures</li></ul><h2 id="good-to-know">Good to know</h2><ul><li>Signs and screens may get garbled text (Krea does the same without the LoRA).</li><li>It pulls everything toward its palette: if you ask for a blue sky or a yellow coat you'll usually get them, but darker and tinted.</li></ul><h2 id="prompting-tips">Prompting tips</h2><ul><li>Describe content, light and mood; color words still work ("a yellow raincoat", "a red sun").</li><li>Uncanny details help a lot in emphasizing the look: masks, closed eyes, empty places at night, one small figure in a big space.</li><li>Symmetric, centered compositions work very well.</li></ul>Thanks for checking out my LoRA and I hope you find it helpful in your artworks. Feel free to leave some feedback or let me know what could be improved. 🫶
