Watch how the transition from the lit face to the shadowed body differs in each one. The first reads as ink wash, the last as glossy paint, and the middle two sit somewhere between. Also check the color of the eyes. It shifts noticeably. Models, in order: 1. gpt-image-2 2. flux-1.1-pro 3. seedream-5.0-pro 4. grok-imagine-image-2

The painterly realistic style emphasizes the beautiful contrast between the cat's deep dark fur and its vivid, glowing eye color.

I really like #1 and #3. Interesting that the backgorund has just a bit more blue in the dark and a bit more light so it helps to pop out the cat. #2 the eyes felt too unreal for me, like they were glowing but it might work for a horror story like The Black Cat by Poe
