Laconic:

The Paper Stage is a LoRA meant to take your character and turn them into a paper stand-out against papercraft settings, making the setting to look more like a display. Taking the character deliberately out of their setting is perfect if you're looking for more of a character highlight than a setpiece but don't want to make due with a simple background.

Loquacious:

This LoRA works pretty well out-of-box, though I tend to like to use the prompts:

(outline:1.3), (drop shadow:1.3)

There's a lot of different prompts I've played around with to varying degrees of success, however, so I'll leave you what I've tried for the sake of your own experimentation:

Basic Prompt Sets:

Default:

Positive: layered printed cut-out diorama, paper cut-out character, visible paper edge, visible cardboard thickness, separate foreground and background layers, cast shadows between layers, printed background panel, tabletop diorama photograph
Negative: flat illustration, flat poster, sticker sheet, scrapbook page, ordinary anime screenshot, plastic toy, clay sculpture, doll, no paper texture, no visible layers, no cast shadows, no cardboard edge, watermark, logo, excessive text

Light:

Positive: handmade layered paper diorama, visible cut paper edges, physical depth, cast shadows
Negative: flat illustration, sticker sheet, plastic toy, no paper texture, no visible depth

Hammer:

Positive: cardboard shadowbox diorama, anime character as a separate printed cardstock cut-out, thick white cut border around character, visible corrugated cardboard edge, foam-core spacers, foreground paper props, midground paper character, printed background panel, strong side lighting, obvious cast shadows between every layer, tabletop craft photograph, handmade paper construction
Negative: flat anime illustration, normal anime scene, seamless digital painting, sticker sheet, flat poster, scrapbook page, plastic figure, clay model, doll, acrylic standee, no cardboard, no paper edge, no physical depth, no cast shadow, smooth 3d render, glossy toy, watermark, logo, excessive text

Layout specific prompts:

Diorama: cardboard diorama, open tabletop stage, layered set pieces, foreground props, printed background panel
Shadowbox: framed shadowbox, recessed paper scene, visible inner frame depth, layered scenery inside a box
Cutout collage: cutout collage, die-cut standee, layered paper shapes, simple paper backdrop, mounted cutout
Paper relief: paper relief, stacked cardstock layers, dimensional paper collage, raised cut-paper forms
Decoupage: decoupage, torn-paper backing, pasted paper layers, revealed lower paper layer, mixed-media collage

Stage and frame materials:

Cardboard stage: raw cardboard frame, corrugated cardboard edge, chipboard backing, brown craft-board walls
Foam-core display: foam-core spacers, thick white foam-board edges, clean mounted layers, display-board construction
Mat-board frame: mat-board frame, beveled paper window, framed paper wall art, recessed mat layers
Construction paper: colored construction paper, rough hand-cut shapes, matte paper surfaces, classroom craft texture
Newsprint collage: newsprint paper medium, printed paper scraps, ink texture, collage backing, pasted paper surface
Painted flats: painted cardboard flats, scenic stage backdrops, brush-textured paper panels, handmade set pieces

Transparency and light effects:

Magic: transparent acetate spell circles, vellum glow overlay, translucent paper smoke, cellophane light effects
Water: blue vellum water layer, transparent acetate ripples, layered fish silhouettes, paper reflections
Windows: vellum window panes, backlit acetate screen, translucent curtain layers, soft interior glow
Fog: semi-transparent vellum fog sheets, layered mist cutouts, pale paper haze, soft side lighting

Depth and layer separation:

Visible depth: physical depth gaps, separated paper planes, visible layer spacing, cast shadows between layers
Foreground: foreground cutouts, overlapping paper silhouettes, leaves in front of the subject, front paper frame
Midground: midground character cutout, middle-ground platform, raised paper platform, character shadow on backdrop
Background: recessed background, printed background panel, distant paper scenery, layered sky backdrop
Parallax: paper parallax, receding layers, depth through silhouettes, staggered cut-out planes

This is just v1.0 of the LoRA, as I'm not quite 100% happy with it, but it still provides a lot of fun results in my opinion. Hopefully I can improve upon it in time.
