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 bare branched tree drawn as a fine stippled silhouette against a smooth gradient running from deep magenta through orange into blue, the entire surface carried on a heavy visible grain. One tiny figure standing beneath it for scale. No ground detail, no horizon line, no other element in the frame. The image works as a shape against a field of colour.

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