DREAD V4

LORA-V4 VERSION HERE

A custom build model using SD1.5 as a base. Trained on 30k images ove it's 4 versions, of horror and psychological terror, with a very graining and dark aesthetic. The images were hand sorted to make sure they fit the style and theme I was looking for, and after auto-tagging were then manually tagged with more clear identifiers and themes to help push generation even further.

If you are looking for crisp and clean images, go elsewhere. This is one grainy boi.

V4 now out!

Dread V4 adds upon 2 and 3(not posted) with 20k images, custom sorted and tagged, before training. It adds a greater variety of horror based subject matter, and more keywords specifically trained into it's data.

USE TIPS

Certain keywords work well invoking feelings and moods in pictures generated with this model. Here are some of the tags used specifically in training data tagging to keep some effects consistent.
Try using any the following in your prompts:

• found footage, disposable camera, trailcam: For that grainy look with washed-out colours and faded edges.

• liminal, abandoned, hallway, house, forest, swamp: Indoor and outdoor locations that are empty, earie, and even a bit run down.

• body horror, visceral, circulatory system, viscera, organs, blood, injury: Various words indicating different types of mutations or styles.

• dendrophobia, plants, mushroom, fungus, vines, roots: Vines overtaking objects, creatures made of roots, mushrooms growing out of the skin. Anything plant related.

• diagram, illustration: Medical and botany illustration like style, redacted documents, sketches

• tome, grimoire, arcane, sigil, magic symbol: Unholy and eerie works or writings to behold

• experiment, medical, research, lab, malpractice: Creepy labs, glass tubes, shady science, deranged doctors offices- these tags help with those sorts of settings.

• entity, creature, being, monster, animal: Tags used for various oddities and scary things that go bump in the night.

• trypophobia, holes: Lots of holes, lots of growths, lots of repeating circular shapes across things.

• torture, suffering, pain: The screams of the damned at your command

• religious, demonic, ritual, cult: circles of people gathered by candle light, alters and holy (unholy?) figures abound

• and many more...
  

Push the style further

Use DREAD in your prompt, all caps, to reinforce the horror aesthetic. Only the best images were tagged with this, and it can change your generations greatly. This is not a required tag, however! All images for training contained the word 'horror' in their tags.

Lora extraction in the works, will be listed separate from this model, unlike last time.
