The big thing to watch is how each model handles the skeleton's contour line. Some keep Kuniyoshi's swelling black outline, others soften it into mush. The bokashi fades in the sky and the woman's kimono pattern also separate them fast. See which one still looks like carved wood. 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: Utagawa Kuniyoshi + Utagawa Hiroshige + nishiki-e woodblock printing, where Kuniyoshi's dynamic keyblock drawing builds forms from a sinewy black contour that swells and tapers, packing anatomical detail into taut linear rhythm, and Hiroshige's bokashi grading produces atmospheric depth via hand-wiped tonal fades from dark to light within a single pass. The fusion manifests as flat unmodulated colour fields locked inside outline, hatched and stippled shading carried by the line alone, and visible wood grain in the darks, transforming any subject into carved registered blocks pulled on absorbent paper. A colossal skeleton spectre looming over the scene, a court woman in patterned kimono holding an unrolled scroll, and two armed samurai warriors in decorated armour, one crouching and one recoiling, set against tattered blinds and a dilapidated palace interior. Wide triptych composition at a low eye-level angle, the giant skeleton emerging from the upper right and leaning down with skull tilted and bony hand reaching left, the standing woman upright at far left facing right toward the warriors, one samurai kneeling low with sword and the other sprawling backward on the floor, layered from foreground floorboards to towering skeleton behind. Scene set inside a ruined palace hall at night, with a foreboding, haunted atmosphere, featuring hanging tattered bamboo blinds, worn plank flooring, red vertical inscription cartouches, and a decorative title panel in the upper left corner.
