Latest page update: Updated recommended workflow again to a version 2, which is slightly even better.

My recommended local ComfyUI workflow for best results:

Trigger words (must include in prompt): illustration in dad artstyle,

Please note that the online generator will NOT give you as good results as running the model locally in ComfyUI, because the online generator does not have the recommended sampler and scheduler and other customization options provided by my recommended local ComfyUI workflow!

FINAL version notes:

no more updates for now
slightly improved style likeness again
slightly improved coherence and quality
much improved LoRa intercompatibility

LoRa description:

This LoRa model was designed to generate images with an artstyle that looks similar to the loading screen artworks and character artworks of the popular fantasy dungeon extraction roguelike game "Dark and Darker". It nicely combines realism with brushstrokes in a unique blend.
