Simon Stålenhag Tales from the Loop

This Flux.1 Dev LoRA was trained on some of his "Tales from the Loop" images.

Trigger: YFG-SimonLoop

Works well at 0.65 strength depending on prompt and subject. Use between 0.40 and 0.75 strength for best results. Generates good results up to 1.00 with some prompts. Trigger word is not necessary but can have a positive impact.

The LoRA has a moody effect on landscape prompts such as that of fields, roads, rural and urban subjects. Generally soft and smooth output which accurately represents the original style of the artist.

Some example prompts:

1. This is a digital illustration depicting a misty, overcast morning scene in a rural area. The image features three large, futuristic vehicles parked in a field, their sleek, metallic surfaces reflecting the ambient light. The vehicles are positioned on the left side of the image, with one vehicle partially obscured by tall grasses and another in the foreground. A smaller yellow painted robot sits atop one of the larger machines. It has one small green glowing eye.

   In the center of the field, a lone figure stands atop a small hill, wearing a dark jacket and a backpack, sitting on a BMX bicycle. The figure appears to be a young man with a neutral facial expression. The figure's attire suggests a casual, outdoor activity.

   In the background, a small, quaint house with a yellow glow from the windows is visible through the fog, adding a sense of warmth and home. The surrounding landscape is filled with tall, dry grasses and wild vegetation, indicating a late summer or early fall season. The sky is overcast with a soft, diffused light, contributing to the overall serene and slightly melancholic mood of the scene. The texture of the grasses and the vehicles' metallic surfaces are rendered with detailed realism, contrasting with the soft, hazy atmosphere of the scene.

2. This is a digital painting depicting a solitary, futuristic robot standing atop a snow-covered hill in a winter landscape. The robot, positioned slightly to the left of the image's center, is a large, orange and black mechanical construct with a distinctive, angular design. It has a tall, pointed head, multiple arms, and a central body that houses various mechanical components. The robot's surface is textured, showing signs of wear and rust, suggesting it has been exposed to the elements for some time.

   The background is a pale blue sky, blending seamlessly with the snow-covered ground. Sparse, leafless trees and shrubs are scattered around the hill, their branches bare against the overcast sky. To the right of the robot, a single streetlight stands tall, casting a warm yellow glow against the cold, blue atmosphere. The light's presence contrasts starkly with the surrounding darkness, adding a touch of warmth to the scene.

   The texture of the snow is smooth and reflective, with subtle shadows indicating the robot's weight and the light from the streetlight. The overall mood of the painting is somber and contemplative, with a blend of futuristic and natural elements.

3. This is a digital painting depicting a surreal, post-apocalyptic landscape. In the foreground, a large, spherical, metallic object with an open circular hatch panel and multiple cables extending from its underside sits in a desert-like environment. The object is weathered and has a rough texture. There is a boy protruding halfway out from a top hatch, looking away from the camera into the distance. He is dressed in a light-colored jacket and a red knit cap. To the left, a green street sign reads "LAKE VIEW rd." The background features a vast, arid landscape with distant mountain ranges and a large, calm body of water, perhaps a man-made lake, that reflects the soft, pastel colors of the setting sun, casting a warm glow over the scene.

   In the middle ground, a series of tall, cylindrical structures stand along the shoreline, their tops illuminated by the fading light. Several vehicles, including a red car and a white truck, are moving across the road, suggesting a road leading to a small town at the base of the towers. The vegetation is sparse, with dry, brown bushes and cacti scattered throughout the scene. The overall color palette is dominated by muted earth tones and soft pastels, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The image has a blend of realism and fantasy elements, with a focus on the stark, desolate beauty of the desert and the eerie presence of the large metallic object.

4. This image is a digital painting characterized by soft, muted colors and a dreamy, almost ethereal atmosphere. The scene depicts a vast, foggy field, likely early morning or late evening, with a gentle gradient of pastel pinks and purples that fade into the distance. The foreground is dominated by tall, swaying grasses and reeds in various shades of brown and purple, adding texture and depth to the scene.

   In the mid-ground, slightly off-center to the right, stands a large, mechanical robot or agricultural vehicle, painted in a metallic, gunmetal gray. It has a cylindrical body with multiple arms and legs, giving it a somewhat robotic appearance. The cab has a glass front window with a warm light emanating from the interior. The robot's details are not overly detailed, but its presence is prominent due to its size and the contrast with the soft, hazy background.

   To the left, a solitary pole suspending power lines stretching horizontally across the image, adding a touch of industrial realism to the otherwise serene setting. The sky above is a soft, pastel lavender, blending seamlessly with the fog, creating a tranquil and somewhat otherworldly ambiance. The overall mood of the painting is calm and introspective, with a hint of mystery and isolation.

5. This is a digital painting depicting a serene winter scene. The central subject is a small, rustic cabin with a red, vertical-sided wooden exterior, set on stilts above the snow-covered ground. The cabin has a small, square window on its left side. To the right of the cabin, there is an old, mustard-yellow station utility wagon parked on the snow, with a snow-covered roof and tires. The vehicle has a small robotic telescoping arm in the rear roof area, stowed neatly to take up less space.

   A man stands in front of the car, dressed in winter gear including a dark blue jacket, brown pants, and a red hat. He appears to be in his late 20s or early 30s. His posture is relaxed, and he is holding a cigarette in his left hand.

   The background is a dense forest of tall, dark green coniferous trees, their branches laden with snow. The overall scene is bathed in soft, natural light, casting gentle shadows on the snow and cabin, creating a tranquil, almost magical atmosphere.
