The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.
A vast empty desert in the European clear line comics tradition: rock stacks, scattered boulders and low scrub, every form drawn with the same thin unvarying contour line and filled with flat unnatural colour, violet ground beneath an ochre and turquoise sky. One tiny figure standing in the middle distance for scale. No cross hatching, no rendered shadows, no texture, only outline and flat fill. Strange and calm.
The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images
