Gothic Minimalist Silhouette style across 17 models

Gothic Minimalist Silhouette style across 17 models

This prompt style performs very differently across models. Look at how different the trees appear

Day 39, 8/11/26

Prompt:

stark chiaroscuro shadows with heavy blacks defining form more than lines, blocky geometry, and folklore‑soaked dreamlike atmosphere. Gothic Minimalism reductionist approach heightens mood and rhythm. Graphic novel.

Weird eerie nightmarish Robin Hood silhouette with bow drawn and arrow aimed for maximum distance, black with no internal details. 🌕. Minimalistic black trees are massive, simplified, and brooding, leaning into occult suggestion rather than realism. Violet night skies

Recraft v4

Note: I often use the emoji 🌕 even in a text prompt because it is textured. Some models echo that textures in their moons when I use 🌕.

I really liked Recraft the best for this prompt despite it's massive tendency towards symmetry.

Used the image above for image to image to correct the image. Used Grok to make the correction.

Grok Image-to-Image Correction Prompt: keep most of image 1 the same, keep the style. In the bottom right, change the pose of Robin Hood so he is looking upward to the giant spider and pointing his bow upward directly at the giant giant spider at a 60 degree angle without changing the size of the bow or arrow. The arrow is flying towards the spider and will hit the spider between the eyes. Do not show the arrow's trajectory but show the arrow flying. Keep the size of Robin Hood the same. Keep Robin Hood as a black silhouette. Change the spider's eyes color to yellow
