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.

This recipe describes a treatment rather than a thing. Put your own subject in and it is added to the end of the prompt.

Prompt

A picture book monster filling most of the frame, its entire body built from thousands of short individually drawn hair strokes so the fur reads as fine texture rather than a shape. A very small human figure stands beside it looking completely unbothered, which sets the scale. Bright unnatural colour, large calm eyes, single flat background field, no shading beyond the fur texture itself. Subject: a huge pink monster with blue horns.

Tips

  • 1Individually drawn hairs, not a fur material. Say strokes.
  • 2The small human is what makes it work. Keep them calm.
  • 3Flat background. Any scenery competes with the texture.
