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 Jean-Michel Basquiat's neo-expressionist mixed media + Egon Schiele's emotional linear intensity + Gustav Klimt's ornamental metallic accents, where Basquiat's gestural brushwork and collage elements create dynamic textural backgrounds with strategic color splashes, Schiele's expressive line quality defines forms with psychological depth, and Klimt's decorative gold leaf techniques add luminous metallic highlights to ornamental details. The style applies layered mixed media textures, bold gestural marks, and metallic accent treatments to enhance original subjects and settings without alteration, creating a contemporary neo-expressionist illustration that maintains the integrity of described elements while adding emotional depth through expressive artistic technique.

Effect only
The recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Only what the style does to a surface.
Layered mixed-media textures build from bold gestural strokes and collaged fragments, punctuated by strategic color splashes. Expressive linework defines forms with psychological tension. Ornamental details shimmer with luminous metallic leaf highlights against matte grounds. Edges are raw and exposed, with abrupt transitions revealing underlayers. Metallic accents catch light as focal points, preserving the subject's integrity while adding emotional depth through energetic, raw mark-making.

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.
