<h1 id="hilda-duane-bryers'-americana-muse-or-lora-(krea2-turbo)">HILDA — Duane Bryers' Americana Muse | LoRA (Krea2 Turbo)</h1>HILDA brings back the cheerful, confident, rosy-cheeked muse of American illustrator Duane Bryers — the original body-positive pin-up of mid-century Americana — as a trainable style for modern generators. V1 captures the painterly calendar-art look: warm sunlit palette, visible brushwork, wholesome humor, and a wink that says the joke is always with you, never at you.<h2 id="about-the-artist">About the Artist</h2><ul><li>Duane Bryers (1911–2012) — American illustrator of the Kansas City school; painted advertising, calendars and personal work for over five decades.</li><li>Created Hilda in the late 1940s: a voluptuous, freckled, endlessly cheerful farm woman who remained his signature subject for 40+ years.</li><li>Today Hilda is celebrated as an early body-positive icon — flirtatious, self-assured, never objectified; the humor is affectionate and human.</li><li>Bryers' work was rediscovered online in the 2010s and became a touchstone of Americana illustration.</li></ul><h2 id="the-manner">The Manner</h2><ul><li>Painterly mid-century illustration: soft gouache/oil brushwork, gentle print grain.</li><li>Warm sunlit palette: butter yellow, barn red, denim blue, cream, grass green.</li><li>Rosy cheeks, freckles, sun-kissed skin; big smile or playful wink.</li><li>Confident voluptuous figure; wholesome flirt, always clothed, never explicit.</li><li>Rural Americana sets: farmhouse porch, barn, kitchen, county fair, pickup truck, vegetable garden.</li><li>Storytelling props and visual gags: pie, rolling pin, rooster, barn cat, overalls, straw hat.</li><li>Slightly muted saturated color, like a well-loved 1950s calendar page.</li></ul><h2 id="tested-generation-settings">Tested Generation Settings</h2>ParameterValueBase modelKrea2 TurboSteps8Sampler / ScheduleEuler a / Bong TangentCFG1Resolution1024×1024 or 1024×1536LoRA weight0.9–1.0 (0.7–0.8 when mixing with photo LoRAs)Negative prompt<code>photo, photograph, photorealistic, 3d render, anime, manga, nude, nsfw, grim, horror, desaturated, ugly, deformed hands</code><h2 id="trigger-words">Trigger Words</h2><code>hilda style</code>, <code>duane bryers style</code>, <code>mid-century americana illustration</code> Boosters: <code>rosy cheeks, playful wink, painterly brushwork, warm sunlit palette, wholesome humor, calendar print grain</code><h2 id="versions">Versions</h2>V1 (current) — first release: core Hilda manner (palette, brushwork, figure, humor) on Krea2 Turbo; companion wildcard included in files.
