Achieving a satisfactory image for the 'decopunk' QT was another exercise in 'iterative incremental prompting' as I described in my blog. Here some of the better images generated in that process. Order reflects the progression from earliest to almost there.

I like that GPT1.5 on both bp and nc tends to have good shadows, good contrast. It's just that in BP it is very chiaroscuro and charcoal/ink and it feels like a signature look. On NC, you get the good contrast but you also get a much more vivid color palette which I like better. I use it a lot over there. On NC, I'd say more than 70% of my pro use is gpt low, not including when I'm using LoRAs. Here, I use grok, then nano, then gpt or seedream. You can override the style but you need to use more words to do so. I don't know why BP and NC is so different for the same model. Same thing happens with Flux. It's much flatter in contrast here.
I think GPT 1.5 Low is better in NC. It doesn't push this style as much so I can use it for a simple prompt. A lot of people do. I generate it as often on BP as I do Grok but the style is too much on BP so I don't often publish my gpt ones unless it's part of a group to show how different models do. I dont' know why the difference
whoops. i meant to say gpt but I had been working on a lot of grok images for my blog post. I do grok instead of gpt because it's style is more subtle than gpt or seedream or wan. All of them have a style. Grok seems to have an illustration style that is less signature than the others.
Awesome set. It's cool to see how you tame that grok (meant to type gpt but slipped up) overpowering style beast! I tend to steer away from it unless I want that charcoal edge.
I think grok is a good starting point if you want to see how AI interprets a new or madeup word in general. But I found you can't always generalize from Grok to other models.

Right. Though without checking I assume the images were made in GPT1.5 - most of mine are unless the intent is more mature in nature
@DavidP ·
That wordplay isn't really my thing, but should try some the prompts in GPT with Grok and NBP
@DavidP ·
No worries - I must grok more Grok

We do love words

I don't know. I guess they all have some signature styling that they drift towards. I've managed to create some prompts that do get GPT to show some different styles
