V67 Dieselpunk LoRA – Presentation (Z Image turbo and Krea 2).

Premise: If you use my model and your image is chosen for the CIVITAI cover, you receive 500 Yellow Buzz – even in combination with other models.
R+ images are hidden from the gallery. Trained with Z Image Turbo and Krea 2.

Putting a Like to the V67 models is worth more than giving me Buzz (yellow/green).

Overview

Step into an alternate 1930s–1950s where diesel power never faded – riveted steel, art deco lines, oil-stained machinery, and a gritty noir atmosphere. Think airships with diesel engines, armored trains, and smoky industrial cities where every piston tells a story.

Trigger Word (all models)

(Dieselpunk:1.1), dieselpunk

Alternative Triggers

retro-futuristic dieselpunk, industrial dieselpunk, art deco dieselpunk, dieselpunk aesthetic

Signature Style Elements

• 1930s–1950s industrial grit + art deco elegance

• Riveted metal, brass, copper, leather, canvas

• Exposed diesel engines, pistons, pipes, gauges

• Retrofuturistic tech (airships, armored vehicles, mechs)

• Smoke, soot, oil stains, fog, tungsten lighting

• Noir mood, dramatic shadows, heroic compositions

Trigger Words & Usage (2‑column table)

TriggerBest Use Case(Dieselpunk:1.1), dieselpunkPrimary – place at the start of the promptretro-futuristic dieselpunkEmphasise the futuristic‑historical blendindustrial dieselpunkFocus on factories, machinery, heavy industryart deco dieselpunkHighlight the elegant geometric design aspectdieselpunk aestheticLighter touch, good for hybrids

Recommendation: Use the primary trigger at the beginning of the prompt, before quality tags. For close‑ups add “intricate machinery” or “detailed metal textures”.

LoRA: V67 Dieselpunk (weight 0.7)
CFG: 3.8 | Steps: 25 | Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras

Prompt: a magnificent diesel-powered airship floating above a 1930s art deco city at dusk, riveted steel hull, multiple decks with portholes, propellers spinning, smoke rising, tungsten lights glowing, warm golden light, (Dieselpunk:1.1), dieselpunk

Credits & Philosophy

“Dieselpunk is the romance of the machine age – the smell of oil, the roar of engines, and the beauty of riveted steel against a smoky sky.”
