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
Hieronymus Bosch + Yayoi Kusama + Keith Haring fusion: Meticulous otherworldly detailing from Hieronymus Bosch; obsessive polka dot patterns and infinity nets from Yayoi Kusama; bold outlined shapes and simplified motion lines from Keith Haring.

Model-neutral

Effect only
The recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Only what the style does to a surface.
Meticulous otherworldly detailing builds layer upon layer of tiny incident across every surface. Obsessive polka dot patterns and endless net motifs repeat past the edges, locking the picture in a hallucinatory grid. Bold black outlines enclose simplified shapes, and sparse motion lines animate their contours. Transitions are abrupt, alternating dense ornament with flat open areas, so the eye swings between microcosmic detail and graphic clarity.

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.
