What size do these print at?

Each render is composed at a clean square-friendly crop, suited to a print, a poster or a social post.

Can I get a different machine or scene?

Yes — the direction field takes any subject, and the same dieselpunk register renders it.

What's the difference between the three takes on each scene?

Each take varies the composition and framing while keeping the same chrome-and-soot dieselpunk look.

How is this different from steampunk?

Steampunk borrows the Victorian era's brass and clockwork; dieselpunk borrows the interwar era's riveted metal, diesel engines and art deco lines.

Dieselpunk art: zeppelin city, train, pilot

Dieselpunk — a city of art deco towers with mooring masts, three zeppelins docked at their spires, biplanes threading between the buildings, elevated roads, beams crossing a smoggy amber sky and tiny figures on a rooftop terrace, painted in oils, chrome and soot, amber air, art deco geometry, heavy texture

Reading 3The pilot

Dieselpunk is the interwar era turned up: art deco towers with zeppelin docks, a riveted armoured train, a pilot in leather and goggles, all chrome and soot. These nine renders carry that register across three scenes. Ask for a different machine or scene and the same dieselpunk mood carries it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
