What you will get

A rich, painterly steampunk portrait of you with brass goggles on your forehead, a leather waistcoat and cravat, in an airship dock with gears, pipes, amber lamp light and smoke.

Why it works

Steampunk is Victorian style plus brass machines, and the prompt gives each part a place: goggles on the forehead, a leather waistcoat and cravat on you, gears and pipes in the airship dock behind. Keeping the machinery in the background stops it covering your clothes. Warm amber lamps and smoke create the industrial mood, and the painterly style suits the fantasy. Choosing a role, as the tip suggests, gives the model a story for your pose.

Common mistake

Gears are glued all over the clothes.

Fix: Ask for gears in the background and only a few brass details on you.

Also watch for

The goggles cover your eyes. Say “goggles pushed up on my forehead, eyes visible”.
The image is too dark to see. Ask for a warm lamp lighting your face, with the background in amber haze.

Try a variation: fly the airship

Ask for you at the wheel of an airship above the clouds with brass instruments around you.

Keep my face. Make me an inventor and add one prop in my hand, a brass wrench, with a few blueprints behind me.
