<lora:Ian_McQue:0.75>, By Ian McQue, <lora:MJ7_PRO:1>,A surreal digital painting in the distinct style of Ian McQue. A late Victorian-era style steam gunboat, but subjected to extreme industrial modification, struggles to fly through a soot-stained, overcast, cloudy sky, propelled by several massive, dirty, slow-spinning propellers made of mixed brass and cast iron (or some form of primitive jet device). The hull is constructed from heavy, densely riveted iron plates, covered extensively in dark brown rust, streaking grime, and water stains. A large, archaic-looking naval cannon with a blackened barrel is mounted on the bow or midship. A tall, crooked smokestack uncontrollably belches thick black smoke mixed with sparks. Visible across the vessel are exposed, patched steam pipes, creaking gear mechanisms, grease-covered pressure gauges, and thick, haphazardly bundled cables. The brass window frames of the pilothouse are tarnished, the glass grimy. A few dim incandescent lamps with broken protective cages provide faint illumination. The flight mechanisms appear retrofitted, with obvious welding and reinforcement marks at the connection points, looking cumbersome and inefficient. Lighting is overcast diffused light, filtered through smoke and clouds, with localized intense light sources from engines or boilers. Detail focuses on metal corrosion, riveting, the complexity and decay of steam power systems, and the overall heavy, precarious flying posture. Brushwork is heavy, color saturation is low, emphasizing an industrial wasteland atmosphere.
