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 Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock printing + Caravaggio's dramatic chiaroscuro + 1950s luxury advertising aesthetics where subjects are rendered with bold flat color planes and precise black outlines characteristic of woodblock prints, enhanced by Caravaggio's theatrical spotlight lighting creating deep shadows and luminous highlights, finished with polished commercial glamour and saturated color palette of mid-century luxury advertisements, while maintaining all original subjects and environmental settings completely intact

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.
Flat unmodulated color fields are held inside hard-edged keyblock outlines in exact registration, while a single theatrical spotlight models forms with deep shadow and luminous highlight. Saturated, lacquered surfaces carry polished commercial gloss. Transitions are abrupt between light and dark, with smooth airbrushed gradients only within lit areas. Subjects and environmental settings remain fully intact and recognizable.

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.
