The prompt

Original

A fusion of Dave McKean+Francis Bacon+analog distortion where photographic elements dissolve into painterly distortions, featuring deliberate signal degradation, smeared textures that suggest motion or decay, and heavy impasto techniques rendered digitally with physical-looking media artifacts that enhance emotional impact without altering subject identity or environment.

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.

Sharp representational forms dissolve into thick, dragged paint, their edges fractured by static and dropouts. Heavy impasto builds ridges and knife marks while smeared pigment streaks along vectors of motion or decay. Grain, scratches, and dust accumulate as physical artifacts. The subject and setting remain legible, but every transition passes through abrupt signal noise that erodes clarity without destroying recognition.
