@NielsCarlsen posted an image they were attempting to prompt - https://budgetpixel.com/p/75785 - so i had to try my hand at it. I think i was far less successful then they were! Same prompt, five different takes. Watch how the impasto reads in each, and how far each model pushes the elongation of the face. The cat is the constant, so compare how it sits in the composition against what changes around it. Also notice which versions hold the ochre and terracotta palette tightest. Models, in order: 1. gpt-image-2 2. seedream-5.0-pro 3. flux-2-pro 4. grok-imagine-image-2 5. nano-banana-2-lite

AI Model: gpt-image-2
Prompt: Amedeo Modigliani + Vincent van Gogh + heavy oil impasto on board, where Modigliani's planar simplification flattens forms into elongated masses with continuous contour edges and eyes reduced to almond voids, and van Gogh's directional brushwork carves every plane with short parallel strokes that follow the form's swell. The impasto builds a woven ridged surface catching raked light, thick where volume turns, thin at the edges. The fusion manifests as large soft-bounded colour planes, contour drawing dissolved into stroke, worked from a restricted ochre, terracotta, umber, slate-grey, ivory and charcoal palette, transforming any subject into ridged tactile mass. A woman with an elongated stylized face, warm earthy skin tones and a pale hood or veil draping over her head and shoulders, together with a white cat pressed close beside her, its eyes closed and whiskers spread. Tight close-up at eye level, the woman's face filling the upper left of the frame, angled slightly forward with one large dark eye gazing outward, the cat's head nestled against her cheek and lower jaw in the foreground, both flattened onto a shallow plane. Scene set in an undefined interior with no background detail, timeless and quiet, featuring only the woman and cat filling the space.
