The same prompt and the same subject, rendered by different image models — so the differences are the model, not the prompt.
The prompt
Original
High-saturation grading in vibrating complementary pairings — buzzing reds against cyans, hot oranges meeting electric blue. Punchy key lighting with deep crisp shadows and a glossy cinematic sheen, frozen mid-motion. Surfaces flatten into screen-printed color fields edged by bold contour lines and regular halftone dot shading. Kinetic comic-panel framing balanced on measured orthographic structure, carrying the cold exactitude of hairline technical draftsmanship — cyan dimension lines and grid scaffolding overlaid with mechanical precision. Loud, engineered, electric.

Effect only
The recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Only what the style does to a surface.
Highly saturated complementary colors vibrate at hard boundaries, with red pressed against cyan and hot orange against electric blue. Punchy key light cuts deep, crisp shadows across glossy surfaces arrested in motion. Broad, flat color fields sit inside bold contours, while regular halftone dots model tone. Hairline cyan dimensions and rigid grid scaffolds lock dynamic framing to exact orthographic alignment.

Using it
- Paste the prompt, then add your subject after it — for example …, a lighthouse on a cliff at dusk.
- 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.
