When two specialists join forces to create something extraordinary, the result can only be fantastic. @JRD_2212 (https://civarchive.com/user/JRD_2212) and I teamed up to transform a style I recently used for a series of images into a LoRA for ZIT. This way everyone can enjoy the look without spending hours on prompting.

I assembled the training dataset from my own images, and Jarod brought his extensive experience with high quality checkpoints and LoRAs to train a model that truly stands out.

Together we are proud to present Crystal Shade Androids.

You can use this model with all Z Image Turbo based checkpoints. It works especially well together with my Textured Painterly LoRA.

Trigger Word: crystal_zit

Recommended Weight: 0.8 (works reliably from 0.65 to 1.0)

The LoRA was trained on portraits as well as full body shots, under many different lighting conditions, and for both indoor and outdoor scenes. As you can see in the sample gallery, it also creates beautiful results when combined with fantasy themes or surreal compositions.

About this version

This version is specifically made for ZImage Turbo (ZIT) checkpoints. It captures the unique Frost Cyber Android aesthetic that defines the Crystal Shade series: feminine humanoid androids with gaunt yet elegant builds, metallic frost helmets, crystalline frost patterns on plating and visors, glowing blue inner luminescence, and a hauntingly beautiful, melancholic presence.

What it does

Crystal Shade Androids brings the signature look of frosted cyber androids into your generations. Expect delicate frost crystals on metallic surfaces, subtle blue luminescence in joints and seams, glossy cool toned visor reflections, and an overall cyber mystical atmosphere. The model loves reduced cool color palettes of ice blue, silver and deep indigo, with occasional neon cyan or magenta accents for contrast. It excels at creating ethereal mist, floating particles, and strong chiaroscuro lighting that feels both futuristic and deeply emotional.

Trigger Word

Use crystal_zit in your prompt for the strongest and most consistent results. The LoRA also works without the trigger, but including it gives you the full Crystal Shade look right away.

Recommended LoRA Strength

• 0.65 – 0.75: Subtle influence, soft frost details

• 0.8 (recommended): Balanced and harmonious results

• 0.9 – 1.0: Strong crystalline and cybernetic presence

It pairs exceptionally well with my Textured Painterly LoRA and also works nicely with many other models - have a look at @JRD_2212 s models, they are a great combo. Check the sample gallery to see how it behaves with different base models and styles.

Special thanks again to @JRD_2212 (Jarod) for the outstanding training work and for turning my vision into a reliable, high quality LoRA. Without his expertise this model would not exist in its current form.
