GraphicAnime
An illustration AI art style prompt drawing on Art Deco and Anime. Copy the prompt below into any text-to-image model, then add your own subject at the end. The prompt only describes the look.
The blend
The prompt combines 2 ingredients and gives each one a job:
- Patrick Nagel — Nagel's bold flat color blocking with geometric divisions amplifies confident attitude.
- Takehiko Inoue — Inoue's clean vector-style linework with anime proportions heightens graphic precision.
The fusion manifests as high contrast flat colors with precise line control, preserving original subjects and settings.
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
Patrick Nagel + Takehiko Inoue, where Nagel's bold flat color blocking with geometric divisions amplifies confident attitude, and Inoue's clean vector-style linework with anime proportions heightens graphic precision. The fusion manifests as high contrast flat colors with precise line control, preserving original subjects and settings.

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.
Large, unmodulated color shapes meet along crisp geometric divisions, with stark value contrast and minimal tonal modelling. Smooth, exact contours define elongated, idealized proportions, controlled facial features, and confident poses. Edges remain uniformly sharp, overlaps are cleanly separated, and every mark is economical, preserving each subject's identity, clothing, and surrounding setting.

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.
