Raw Color — A LoRA for Expressive, Unfinished Beauty

Unlock a world of vibrant, textured imperfection. “Raw Color” is a LoRA designed to bring painterly looseness and emotional intensity into your generations. From sketchy portraits to dreamlike scenes, it evokes the feeling of art still in motion. Where brushstrokes are visible, edges are intentional, and the story is never quite finished.

About the Style

Raw Color thrives in the space between polish and process. Think digital canvases where the underpainting shows through, or concept art just before final render. It leans into:

Tactile brushwork and smudged edges
Expressive faces and figures often caught mid-thought
Bold, unapologetic color palettes
A mix of real-world and surreal subject matter
A look that feels equal parts fashion sketch, storybook, cyberpunk zine, and indie animation frame

It pairs especially well with prompts involving emotion, movement, and visual storytelling.

Recommended Weights

To get the best out of Raw Color, here’s what I’ve found works:

Flux: A weight of 1.0 works well, strong lines, confident texture.
Illustrious: Results vary a bit more depending on the base checkpoint. Try between 0.7 and 1.0 and adjust based on how much texture or rawness you want in the final image.
I am working on a Qwen version - TBD

Don’t be afraid to push into moody lighting or add descriptive terms like “unfinished,” “brushwork,” or “concept art” to reinforce the look.
