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.

Prompt

A cinematic still with almost nothing in it: a horse and rider in profile as a single flat black silhouette, surrounded on all sides by dense grey green fog that hides the ground and the horizon completely. No visible light source, no detail at all inside the silhouette, heavy film grain sitting over the whole frame. Cold, still, unexplained.

The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images

Tips
