Note: The model that used to be here has been renamed TheDarkNightAlpha.
The Dark Night
The Cryptids LoRA merged with the SXZ DigitalUnitsCreationKit model producing images of high contrast. The base model is Luma 0.98.
In January 2025 (how time flies!) I brought in Elldreth's retro mix to fix the coherency of the model and AgarthaChadStyle to fix the eyes, and relaunched the model, because it was very hard to prompt the original. Samples and prompts (all use seed 9119):

The Dark Night Alpha
The original version as a proof of concept, you can check a sample at: https://huggingface.co/Yntec/TheDarkNight/discussions/3
The Dark Night Beta
A more detailed version of The Dark Night, if you are going to draw scenery or items, this is the one to go for, it's not as good at characters or animals as the default one.
