Introducing Pixelship 2.0 🚀

Images, Redefined.

Pixelship 2.0 is a released image generation model built on Qwen Image 2.1. This LoRA fine-tune focuses on following highly detailed instructions, producing organized compositions, and giving creators more control through JSON Styling.

Model Details

Pixelship 2.0 is designed for realistic images, illustrations, posters, advertisements, and user interfaces. Its focus areas include detailed prompt following, object placement, typography, and flexible visual styling.

How It Started

The original plan was to fine-tune Qwen 3.5 4B to generate image tokens autoregressively. That approach did not produce reliable images, so the project shifted toward improving an existing diffusion transformer instead.

Inspiration and JSON Styling

Ideogram 4's use of detailed JSON-style placement inspired the direction of Pixelship 2.0. JSON Styling builds on that idea with a detailed scene description, normalized coordinates, individually positioned objects, a separately described background, and style instructions. Coordinates guide the model rather than enforcing pixel-perfect placement.

Why Qwen Image 2.1?

Qwen Image 2.1 provides a capable foundation, but my tests exposed problems with complex layouts, unwanted elements, and prompt adherence. Pixelship 2.0 was fine-tuned to improve these areas. In my own comparisons, it performed better on selected structured-interface and composition prompts.

Prompt Layout

{
  "prompt": "Create a highly detailed [ASPECT RATIO] image at [RESOLUTION] depicting [MAIN SUBJECT OR SCENE]. The overall composition is [COMPOSITION DESCRIPTION], with [PRIMARY SUBJECT] positioned at [LOCATION] and [SECONDARY ELEMENTS] arranged around it. The setting is [ENVIRONMENT], featuring [SPECIFIC BACKGROUND DETAILS]. The main subject has [EXACT APPEARANCE, MATERIALS, COLORS, TEXTURES, EXPRESSION, AND POSE]. The lighting is [LIGHTING DESCRIPTION], with [SHADOWS, REFLECTIONS, AND HIGHLIGHTS]. The color palette consists of [EXACT COLORS]. The foreground contains [FOREGROUND DETAILS], the middle ground contains [MIDDLE-GROUND DETAILS], and the background contains [DISTANT ELEMENTS]. Include the exact visible text '[TEXT 1]' at [POSITION], using [FONT STYLE, SIZE, WEIGHT, AND COLOR]. Include '[TEXT 2]' at [POSITION] with [TYPOGRAPHIC DETAILS]. Every visible object, symbol, interface element, and text label must have intentional placement, scale, and appearance. The visual hierarchy should emphasize [FOCAL POINT], followed by [SECONDARY FOCAL POINT]. Use [PHOTOGRAPHIC, GRAPHIC DESIGN, ILLUSTRATION, OR UI STYLE] with [SPECIFIC RENDERING CHARACTERISTICS]. Maintain realistic spatial relationships, consistent perspective, correct proportions, and clear separation between elements. Avoid [UNWANTED DETAILS].

Conclusion

Pixelship 2.0 turns an unsuccessful autoregressive experiment into a completed diffusion-transformer fine-tune designed for more precise image generation. The goal is straightforward: image generation should follow your vision, not just approximate it.
