YFG Hidden Faces – Obscured Portraits & Surreal Veils

Style
Specializes in close‑up portraits where the face is partially or entirely concealed—by masks, hands, veils, foliage, shadows, or assorted objects. Expect moody, sometimes surreal imagery that blends realistic skin textures with dream‑like obstructions.

Trigger
No dedicated trigger word. Steer the model with phrases such as “hidden face,” “covered eyes,” “veiled portrait,” “masked visage,” or “shadow‑concealed.”

Strength
Works well across the usual 0.3 – 1.0 range (≈ 0.8 often yields balanced detail and concealment).
Increase strength for more abstract or heavily obscured results; lower it for subtle coverage.

Key Characteristics

• Obscuration – Faces hidden behind hands, translucent fabric, foliage, intricate masks, or deep cinematic shadows.

• Surreal Edge – AI‑generated training data introduces dream‑like twists—floating fragments, abstract overlays, or uncanny color shifts.

• Intimate Close‑ups – Best results when you frame subjects head‑and‑shoulders or tighter.

• Universal Influence – Can subtly mask non‑portrait subjects (statues, animals) if your prompt emphasizes concealment.

Prompt Ideas

• “A close‑up portrait of a woman with eyes covered by delicate lace, dramatic side lighting, hidden face style.”

• “A masked figure in a dim forest, foliage partially obscuring the face, cinematic shadows.”

• “Surreal portrait where a melting glass sheet hides half the face, soft bokeh background.”

Tips & Tricks

1. Use Concealment Verbs

   • Words like “veiled,” “shrouded,” “masked,” “covered,” or “obscured” intensify the hidden‑face aesthetic.

2. Leverage Lighting

   • Phrases such as “chiaroscuro,” “hard rim light,” “deep shadow,” or “strip of sunlight across eyes” enhance mystery.

3. Control Surrealism

   • For subtle realism, lower LoRA strength or add negatives like “avoid abstract distortion.”

   • For dream‑like imagery, raise strength and include prompts like “float­ing shapes,” “liquid veil,” etc.

4. Pair With Fashion or Texture

   • Merge with fabric, floral, or grunge LoRAs to enrich coverings—e.g., “torn silk veil,” “floral mask,” “cracked ceramic face.”

5. Avoid Unwanted Obstruction

   • If the model hides too much, specify “eyes visible,” “mouth uncovered,” or reduce strength slightly.

YFG Hidden Faces is your go‑to for portraits steeped in secrecy—where hands, veils, and shadows conspire to turn familiar faces into intriguing enigmas. Prompt thoughtfully, tweak strength, and reveal (by hiding) a world of moody, surreal imagery.
