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 print built entirely from thousands of fine straight lines radiating outward from a single vanishing point, filling the frame like a starburst. The same lines describe ground, sky and architecture at once, with tiny figures standing where the rays converge. Printed in one deep cobalt blue ink on cream paper, all tone made by line density alone. No solid fills, no second colour.

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