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 shape drawn in pure neon light hanging in a dark night landscape, described entirely by a continuous glowing pink line with nothing solid behind it. Surrounding trees and ground catching only a faint spill of that light, sky completely black, no visible support, frame or fixing holding the neon up. Long exposure photograph, deep blacks, no other light source.

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

Tips

  • 1No visible support. It is what makes the shape feel impossible.
  • 2Only a faint spill on the surroundings, never full illumination.
  • 3One continuous line reads better than a filled shape.
