Before we start...

Got too close to someone's face once. They called it "invasion of personal space." When a camera does it, they call it "macro photography." Double standards. This LoRA has no concept of personal space either.

Disclaimer: The dark humor above is just a joke to break the ice and does NOT reflect my actual feelings or beliefs. Just vibes. Enjoy the LoRA!

Tips

• Start with LoRA weight around 0.7 and adjust up/down depending on how strong you want the effect.
• Combine with other IDK_ LoRAs from this series for layered results (e.g. body + hair + style).
• Works with both realistic and stylized SDXL checkpoints.
• Use the trigger words in your prompt for best activation.
• If the effect is too subtle, increase weight or repeat the trigger word.
• If the effect is too strong / distorted, lower the weight to 0.5-0.6.

Part of the IDK Series
