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 busy children's picture book spread caught mid action: characters lunging at each other with wooden swords, limbs flung out past the edges of the frame, small hand drawn motion lines and impact stars around them. Flat colour limited to three or four hues on cream paper, loose confident drawing, nothing rendered or shaded, everything described with line and flat fill. Funny rather than violent. No lettering.
The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images
