Entry in the Style 1 - StaticBurn theme on BudgetPixel.

This uses the StaticBurn Style [ https://justrobstyles.com/s/staticburn ] Same prompt, five different takes. Watch how each model handles the mix of photo and paint. Some keep the woman sharp and smear the background, others push the distortion right into her face. The lipstick changes in every version, and the sidewalk shifts from real street to painted backdrop. Models, in order: 1. gpt-image-2 2. flux-1.1-pro 3. seedream-5.0-lite 4. grok-imagine-image 5. nano-banana-2

yeah - models matter. GPT does a better job at executing the styles i think, but sometimes it can go overboard. Most of my example style images on my website are Flux 1.1 Pro

justrob

Glad you like it! 😊

I saw that you put in analog distortion but it felt like that only came through clearly in #1, gptimag2. On #1 it's a very cool effect. The edges of #3&#5 was expected. #4 Grok is very smeary and it made her lipstick looked smeared. I'm beginning to feel that with the differences in how models respond, that art styles often are built for a certain model. I realize that often I'm building my art style for gpt2. I'm going to run this thru a few models and see how it goes. I really liked the effect in #1

CaylaCatz

I agree. I think GPT2 does a good job at trying to incorporate all the words while some models seem to pick and choose phrases out of the whole. On you web page, if it's all flux 1.1, on your recent prompts that you redo in BP, you might start doing a dual showing adding GPT images as you are redoing them in GPT anyways. Unless your website is being paid for in part by a Flux sponsorship, then it wouldn't be right to add gpt.

I like what Seedream 5 did with this. It's got that mid-20th-century pin-up look down pat. So much better than 4.5, even with the Lite version.

MrUnick

Good art style. It reminds me of my older Ada Wong artwork in RGB colours. 😎

justrob

is it on this site? Do ou have a link? I likely missed it!

Sealine

Hm. Initial thought, I'm not really caring for this style.

justrob

and thank you for taking the time to comment.

AI. I won't draw her blurred or glitched with pencil. 😅
