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 quiet flat illustration built from only three or four areas of solid colour: a large plain sky, a plain ground and one very small lone figure standing in the middle distance. No shading, no gradients, no texture, almost no detail on the figure. Clean hard edges, limited slightly unnatural palette of flat blue and green, enormous empty space around the figure, calm and still.
The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images

Tips
- 1Say very small. Models want to fill the frame with the figure.
- 2Ban gradients explicitly or it adds a sky fade.
