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”.

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.”
