Same prompt, six models. I'm looking at how the twilight reads on the dunes and how the engraved panels catch light. The warm core glow versus flat shadow is the big split. Some look like painted metal, others like plastic. 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-lite 6. z-image-turbo

Prompt: Joseph Wright of Derby + Lawrence Alma-Tadema + hieratic funerary stillness, where Wright's single-source luminism creates a radiant warm nucleus dissolving into velvet shadow through steep tonal falloff, Alma-Tadema's material rendering produces differentiated surface luminosity via polished, matte, and incised textures holding light distinctly, and hieratic stillness infuses solemn eternal calm. The fusion manifests as lapis-slate against gold-ochre palette, shallow incised relief catching grazing rim-light, and register-banded rhythmic detail, transforming any subject through molten interior glow, arid warm mid-tones, and deep desaturated shadow. A bipedal armored mech with broad shoulder plates, layered mechanical limbs, clawed hands, engraved decorative panels, markings, and a circular chest core. Full-body wide shot at a slightly low angle, the mech faces the viewer squarely with feet planted apart, arms lowered beside its body, centered and isolated, with distant dunes and mountains receding softly behind it. Scene set in a desert dune field during twilight, with a quiet, desolate atmosphere, featuring rolling dunes, distant mountains, and scattered clouds.
