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 study in scale: a vast curved architectural space receding across the frame, its floor covered with thousands of tiny dark figures reduced to simple marks, one or two standing slightly apart from the mass. Warm sepia and bone palette, flat even light, the architecture described with almost no detail so the crowd carries the picture. Overwhelming, quiet, no faces.

Tips
- 1Figures as marks, not people. Detail destroys the scale.
- 2One separated figure gives the crowd meaning.
- 3Keep the architecture plain. It is a container, not a subject.
