How 20 AI image models render: “STYLE: See image 1 for desired drawing style. Stylized semi-realistic digital character painting, expressive animation-inspired facial proportions, large eyes and strong brows, simplified natural anatomy with convincing three-dimensional volume. Painterly shape-based rendering, minimal linework, soft blended facial shading contrasted with broad angular brushstrokes on clothing. Warm luminous skin with peach and terracotta undertones, subtle rosy cheeks and nose, restrained highlights. Hair rendered as flowing sculpted masses with broad highlights and a few fine flyaway strands. Muted charcoal and earthy neutral palette, soft directional studio lighting, carefully rendered eyes and lips, selectively loose edges and unfinished brushwork. An adult woman sits on a stool on a dock. She is wearing a bathing suit. She has short dark hair in a pixie cut, with two dyed streaks of platinum blonde hair framing her face (money piece). Her legs are crossed. She looks at us and smiles.”
