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 print worked in exactly two inks, red and blue, of a dramatic heroic figure. The drawing is built entirely from engraved style contour line and hatching, the two ink plates deliberately misregistered so they fringe and overlap against each other. Bare paper left around the figure, no third colour, no solid fill, no background scene. Slightly theatrical pose, printed on rough cream stock.

Tips
