Entry in the Same Prompt - Different Models theme on BudgetPixel.
Same prompt, five different takes. Watch how the sword and the water reflections shift between them, and how the dark tunnel reads differently in each. The amber rim light on her hair is a good spot to compare too. Skin and fabric detail vary a lot across the versions. Models, in order: 1. gpt-image-2 2. flux-1.1-pro 3. grok-imagine-image 4. nano-banana-2-lite 5. seedream-4.5

AI Model: GPT-Image-2
Prompt: Rendered as polished 3D anime concept art with cinematic realism, built on deep saturated color and complementary contrasts between cool teal-blue ambience and warm amber accents. Light behaves as dramatic chiaroscuro, a single directional key carving the form out of surrounding darkness with soft rim glow and pooled shadow. Surfaces are ultra-smooth with intricate micro-detail, crisp specular highlights on wet and metallic planes softening into atmospheric bokeh at the edges. Composition is centered and vertical with layered depth, hushed and epic in mood. A young adult woman warrior with long black hair, dark eyes, and fair skin, wearing a white sleeveless crop top, a short dark skirt with belt straps, a thigh strap, fingerless gloves, shoulder guards, and tall brown boots, carrying a long ornate sword. Full-body wide shot at a slight low angle, the figure walking forward toward the lens down a stony path, torso squared to camera and gaze fixed ahead, one hand lowering the sword defensively at her side, boots stepping near the water's edge, rocky foreground framing the base with deep tunnel receding behind her into soft focus. Scene set inside a vast underground cavern during timeless dark, with a cool damp atmosphere, featuring a shallow reflective stream, mossy boulders, gnarled root formations, and faint bioluminescent and reddish glows deep in the tunnel.

I almost never do anything but GPT 2 Low - for the price its hard to beat.

I'm liking GPT 2.0 more and more these days. When it comes to realism and accuracy of period costumes, GPT and NB are still the gold standard. In terms of the overall appearance and feeling of the picture, I like GPT 2.0 better than NB 2.0 (including the non-lite version)--which is polar-opposite to my conclusion from playing with GPT 1.0 and NB 1.0.

It seems, at least to me that in your comparisons flux-1.1-pro images are very recognizable without looking at your lists 😊

Me, too...the other versions get expensive pretty quickly.
