More picks of recent Lovecraft related and (now also) R.E. Howard related LORAs, these being free plugin for models based off the free Stable Diffusion 1.5 AI image generator.

* Stygia, explicitly modelled on Conan’s world and darker than usual ‘mediaeval desert, with pyramids and crypts’ settings.

* Conan trained on old comics plus oil paintings and film-stills. Doesn’t look great, the faces being too anime. But might be worth a try with a different model more oriented to western comics? Beware of commercial use, for a lookalike barbarian named ‘Conan’. Since there are still active Conan trademark-trolls in the USA. Apparently they are underlings of the megacorp Tencent, and can claim a trademark in the name until 2028. So you might call him some adjacent name instead, like Xolan or Kohlan.

* Style of Andreas Achenbach, possibly of interest for sword & sorcery, fantasy-historical.

* UFO Alchemy, which looks like it could be de-UFO’d and made into more of a Lovecraftian ‘cosmic map’.

* Style of Norman Ackroyd, moody British 1970s aquatint, possibly useful for Innsmouth-type scenes to which you’d add text to make a ‘widescreen’ storybook. Apparently Norman Ackroyd was one of the core artists in the SD 1.5 initial training. His ‘look’ was…

* 1900 style photographs, likely to be useful for RPG pictures and the like.

* There was also a new LORA that attempted to emulate Weird Tales covers, but the samples looked so bad that I’m not linking it.

More new free LORAs of possible interest, for use with your local AI image generation software (ComfyUI, InvokeAI, etc, running Stable Diffusion 1.5).

Death Metal artwork, in an album-cover style though one can remove the lettering (SD 1.5 doesn’t do readable lettering). Seems well-liked by those who’ve tried to work with it.

Possibly also useful for fantasy-horror needs, the new environment LORAs Fantasy Swamps (generic) and Ice Age (old and future Ice Ages, sci-fi ice worlds).

Perhaps interesting to combine in Lovecraft-y ways, the new silhouette-y Shadow Concept and the dusk-with-glows Shadow Concept.

And finally, a new Solomon Kane character LORA, based on stills from the movie.
