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 graphic study of movement: one figure repeated across the frame in a sequence of mid stride positions, each pass printed in a flat translucent colour so that where the shapes overlap a third colour appears. Single warm background field, no faces and no interior detail, only clean silhouettes, the rhythm of the repeated shapes carrying the composition. No lettering.
The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images

Tips
- 1Translucent overlap, not layered opaque shapes. That is the whole effect.
- 2Silhouettes only. Any facial detail breaks the rhythm.
- 3Vary the spacing. Even spacing looks like a chart.
