j0urn3y, parody, style parody, 3d

Your generosity helps me stay motivated to keep improving and to keep trying new things!
Trigger Words:
Main trigger: j0urn3y
Helper prompts: parody, style parody, 3d
The LoRA can potentially work with no triggers, but it probably won't.
For a stronger effect, use the main trigger: j0urn3y. You can also weight it numerically or with parentheses - I usually do (((j0urn3y))).
If the (weighted) main trigger is still not enough by itself (which it probably won't be), next try the helper prompts, individually or in combination, along with the main trigger. They can be weighted as well - I usually do them all together, like (((j0urn3y, parody, style parody, 3d))).
Using "3d" might not always be necessary, but I think it generally helps a lot, and I usually find outputs look much better when using it, so I'd recommend putting it in your prompts, unless it is specifically causing problems. So usually, you're gonna need all 4 triggers (main + all 3 helper prompts).
At a Glance:
Base model: Illustrated/2.5D/3D style (I use WAI-illustrious-SDXL)
LoRA weight: 1 (but slowly go lower or higher if necessary)
Suggested parameters: Euler a, Automatic, 30 steps, 832x1216/1216x832, CFG 5 (but feel free to experiment!)
Hires. fix: 1.5x, use a quality upscaler (like 4x-UltraSharpV2), denoising strength 0.5 - 0.3
Extra: use ADetailer to fix faces and/or hands if necessary
Description:
This LoRA is intended to produce images with an influence from the video game Journey. Like its SD1.5 predecessor, it's usually not a super strong effect, but you can definitely see some influence in things like architecture and design details, the brownish/reddish color palette, and the dreamlike haziness. And while this Illustrious version generally does work a lot better than the old SD1.5 version, it's still not amazing, and will probably end up having a pretty niche use case. I'll go over some of the most common issues with the LoRA below.
First, it's just not very good at details. Outputs usually look a little blurry. Hands are quite bad. Fine details are not well defined. Backgrounds don't look great. It does generally capture the game's art style in settings that it's familiar with, but it may not be worth wrestling with.
Second, it works much better with nature settings/backgrounds than indoors or in non-natural outdoors areas. You can see it's trying its best with applying the art style to unfamiliar settings, but it's just not great at it. Adding "3d" in the prompt does usually help a bit, but it still might not look that great in the end. When in nature, it will look better, but you'll still get some weirdness somewhat frequently.
Finally, you'll sometimes get a perspective that's a bit too zoomed out, leaving you with a smaller and less detailed character. Or sometimes the character is too short or has their lower body stuck in the ground. These are a bit more occasional, but still a little annoying when they pop up.
For more potentially relevant information, you can check out the original SD1.5 description. Below, there's a troubleshooting section in case you're having any problems.
Troubleshooting:
If you're having persistent problems with anatomy, fine detail, and/or other jank, just try your best with all the usual fixes - different prompting (including negative prompt), try a different base model, use a different VAE, try different clip skip values, adjust the LoRA weight, use adetailer, inpaint, etc.
