Soliloquy

*EDIT: I found the bug that casued Bf16 & Int8ConvRot variants to error out - fixed and tested and uploaded - enjoy!

Available Variants

Alongside the original (fp8) checkpoint, I've uploaded two additional variants:

• BF16 — a full-precision reconstruction of the model. Loads like any normal checkpoint using the standard "Load Diffusion Model" node (weight_dtype: default). No extra nodes required.

• INT8 ConvRot — a quantized variant (roughly half the file size) using INT8 weights with a Hadamard rotation applied to reduce quality loss versus plain INT8.

Overview

Soliloquy is a custom Krea 2 checkpoint created from a LoRA trained entirely on my own photography from my former studio, then permanently integrated into a carefully selected base model (see content notice further below).

It is not a conventional full-parameter finetune, but it is also more than a simple checkpoint merge.

Soliloquy is intended for cinematic portraiture, atmospheric environments, visual storytelling and surreal concepts that still feel as though they were captured through a real camera.

The Dataset

The LoRA used to create Soliloquy was trained exclusively on organic photographic data.

No synthetic or AI-generated images were used in the training dataset. Every image originated from my own photography, and every caption and tag was written by hand rather than generated through automated captioning.

Visual Character

Soliloquy tends toward:

• Cinematic and directional lighting

• Rich atmospheric depth

• Strong subject separation

• Natural skin and material texture

• Warm practical light against cooler environments

• Dramatic environmental compositions

• Photographic interpretations of surreal or impossible scenes

• A subtle analogue and DSLR-inspired character

The model is not limited to a single genre. It can move between portraiture, fantasy, fashion, landscapes, science fiction and surreal imagery while retaining a fairly consistent photographic eye.

Version 1

This is the first public version of Soliloquy and should be considered an evolving release.

The current model can produce particularly strong contrast in some generations. While this contributes to its dramatic character, certain renders may push shadows or highlights further than intended. I am currently refining the balance toward a more dynamic and controlled contrast response without losing the model’s depth and atmosphere.

Feedback and example generations will help guide future versions.

Content Notice

Soliloquy retains the broader generation capabilities of its underlying base model, including NSFW capability.

As a result, occasional unprompted nudity may appear, particularly in prompts involving bodies, minimal clothing, bathing, fantasy attire or ambiguous wardrobe descriptions. Users who want strictly safe-for-work output should describe clothing clearly and use appropriate negative prompting or workflow-level safeguards.

Recommended Use

Soliloquy responds well to descriptive natural-language prompts, especially when the prompt includes:

• The intended light source

• Time of day

• Weather or atmospheric conditions

• Camera position and framing

• Materials and surface texture

• Emotional tone

• Foreground and background relationships

You generally do not need to overload prompts with long quality-tag strings. A clear scene, a strong visual intention and a few carefully chosen photographic details tend to work best.

Closing Note

The name Soliloquy refers to the act of speaking one’s thoughts aloud.

This model is, in a sense, a continuation of that idea: old photographs, visual instincts and memories from a former studio translated into a new generative medium.

It is not an attempt to reproduce one fixed style.

It is an attempt to preserve a way of seeing.
