Same prompt run through six models. Watch the indigo resist edges: some stay crisp, some bleed like real dye. The bee's wings are the other tell, see which versions keep the veins. Also notice how the yellow background shifts from deep and layered to flat and bright. Models, in order: 1. gpt-image-2 2. flux-1.1-pro 3. seedream-5.0-pro 4. grok-imagine-image-2 5. nano-banana-2 6. z-image-turbo

AI Model: gpt-image-2
Prompt: Rachel Ruysch + Kiyohara Tama + Nigerian adire indigo resist, where Ruysch's naturalist wet-into-wet layering builds luminous translucent depth through pigment pooling and controlled backruns that bloom at the edges, Kiyohara Tama's brush-loaded tonal restraint produces crisp form via measured dry-brush accents drawn over soft washes, and adire indigo resist infuses hard-edged reserved shapes where undyed areas glow against saturated grounds. The fusion manifests as granulating washes, blotted salt-textured mottling and fine hair-line detailing bounded by soft reserved highlights, transforming any subject through a limited earth-and-mineral palette with warm lights against cool shadows. A bumblebee with a fuzzy black and yellow-banded body, translucent veined wings, dark head with a long extended proboscis, and slender jointed legs. Extreme close-up at a slight high angle, the bee in near profile facing left with its proboscis reaching down into the flower's stamens, wings folded back over the abdomen, body filling most of the frame in sharp focus against a softly diffused background. Scene set on a large open yellow flower during daytime, with a lush warm garden atmosphere, featuring layered petals, upright pollen-tipped stamens, and blurred green foliage behind.
