On 4 models
The same prompt and the same subject, rendered by different image models — so the differences are the model, not the prompt.
The prompt
Original
a fusion of Agostino Arrivabene+Odd Nerdrum+classical surrealism where subjects are rendered with rich amber-brown oil glazes and selective vivid accents, featuring meticulous botanical details and organic elements that appear to grow from or merge with the subject without changing their essential form or setting. The style employs dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, visible painterly brushwork, and symbolic interconnections while preserving the integrity of the original elements.

Model-neutral
The same look with artist names and copyrighted references removed — for models that refuse them.

Effect only
The recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Only what the style does to a surface.
Amber-brown oil glazes layer in transparent veils, with isolated vivid accents. Organic forms render in meticulous fine strokes, their edges melting wet-into-dry into the surrounding paint as if grown from within. Chiaroscuro carves volumes from deep shadow; visible brushwork textures all surfaces. Symbolic echoes link repeated motifs, while the original subject and setting stay intact.

Using it
- Paste the prompt, then add your subject after it — for example …, a lighthouse on a cliff at dusk.
- The original names artists. Some hosted models refuse that or quietly render around it — on those, use the model-neutral version, which describes the same handling without the names.
- The effect-only version drops the recipe altogether and describes only what the style does to a surface. Use it to mix this look into another style, or when you want nothing traceable to a source.
- Every sample here was rendered against the same short subject — Quiet streets whisper / Her footsteps echo softly / Sunlight paints her path — so it shows the style, not a lucky subject.
