styleThe Secret of NIMH Style | illustrious
This LoRA is inspired by the richly atmospheric 1982 animated film The Secret of NIMH, directed by Don Bluth. It captures the dark fantasy tone, lush hand-drawn animation style, and the richly detailed environments of the movie. The LoRA emphasizes dramatic lighting, anthropomorphic animal characters (particularly mice, rats, and birds), enchanted objects, and a mysterious, moody color palette.
Characters generated using this LoRA often have expressive eyes, realistic animal features blended with subtle human-like gestures, and may wear tattered cloaks, capes, or amulets. Backgrounds tend to include overgrown fields, eerie forests, hidden mechanical structures, and arcane laboratories.
Trained with 234 images of various moments in the movie.
The lora heavily favors generating mice (especially the main character), if you want to generate other species adding a weight of 1.2 seems to do the trick example: (bunny:1.2).

I hope you enjoy this blast from the past. I would like to create more of these older styles of loras so if you have any suggestions send me a message :).
