The same prompt and the same subject, rendered by different image models — so the differences are the model, not the prompt.
The prompt
Original
In style of Utagawa Kuniyoshi + Ralph Steadman, where Kuniyoshi’s bold ukiyo-e brushwork and warrior stylization should frame the composition and garment detail, Steadman’s explosive ink energy and surreal chaos should amplify the absurdity and motion. The fusion should manifest as a traditional Japanese scroll scene with anarchic fantasy energy

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.
Bold, tapering ink contours lock dynamic masses into a scroll-like horizontal composition, with sharply articulated folds and patterned surface details. Dense black splashes, frantic drips, feathered blooms and jagged gestural marks erupt around the shapes, distorting their contours and accelerating motion. Flat colour passages meet abrupt high-contrast edges, while broken washes, white gaps and unruly overlaps turn monumental composure into surreal, absurd visual chaos.

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.
