Recipe
The examples above were generated with Nano Banana Pro and Seedream 4.5. The recipes below are written for GPT Image and Flux, so treat the settings as a starting point rather than the exact run.
A description in plain sentences. This is the version to start with, and it works on any current image model. Settings below are the ones we used on GPT Image; treat them as a starting point.
The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.
A night scene painted entirely in a single blue, running from near black in the shadows to a pale wash where light falls: an empty road, a parked car, a standing figure and a long cast shadow, all described tonally with no second colour anywhere in the image. Headlights are the only bright element. Even grain over the whole surface, generous empty space around the figure, quiet and lonely.
The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images
