Entry in the Dragons theme on BudgetPixel.
Same prompt run through five models. Watch how each one handles the dragon's wings and the woman's reach, where the brushwork stays readable and where it melts into haze. The palette shifts from warm ochre to almost green, and one version nearly hides the treasure chest in the shadows. 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: Frank Frazetta + Jeffrey Catherine Jones + oil on canvas, where Frazetta's alla prima figure modelling builds torsion and muscular weight through loaded dark-to-light strokes and hard-lit forms dropping into shadow, and Jones's tonal envelope dissolves everything peripheral into a warm haze via soft-edged scumbling that lets the ground breathe through. The fusion manifests as a restricted ochre, burnt sienna, viridian and ivory palette, detail spent only where light strikes the subject while edges soften into atmosphere, canvas tooth breaking each stroke. Any subject rendered with heroic motion against luminous emptiness. A woman with long flowing auburn hair, wearing a white cropped top and an orange wrap skirt cinched with a gold-studded belt, and strappy sandals, beside a large green and gold horned dragon with membranous wings and spiked back, and an open wooden treasure chest with gold clasps holding golden orbs. Wide shot at eye level, the woman lunging forward in mid-air in profile facing right, both arms extended and one hand reaching down, hair streaming behind, the dragon looming close behind her with jaws open and wings spread across the upper frame, the treasure chest in the lower left foreground with scattered orbs, all held in even focus. Scene set in an open hazy expanse during daytime, with a dusty muted atmosphere, featuring golden orbs and scattered treasure across a bare ground.

i think it doesnt like living people. Or maybe people who died short enough time ago that their estate still retains copyright?

Note: thats just my speculation.

It's probably close if it's not exactly true. I've heard google and a few others has a list that artists can sign up for which opts their work out of training. Which probably means they have to be alive to opt out or have people who opt out on their behalf if they've passed. AI is still pretty new for most folks so older artists or people managing their parents' estates may not have heard about training AI by harvesting online works through search engines

cool. very frazetta vibe. I just realized something. I thought some models incl gpt and nb block prompts with names but it looks like your named prompts have no problem generating.
