Same prompt, five different takes on it. What stands out to me is how each version handles the cats' faces and that scratchy fur texture that Wain is known for. Also watch how the background fades behind the group, since that is where the models differ the most. One or two of them really nail the old-fashioned print feel, while others lean more painterly. 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

Prompt: Louis Wain + Beatrix Potter + chromolithograph, where Wain's anthropomorphic handling gives every creature a wide, front-facing gaze and upright human carriage built from short dry-brush strokes that lay fur, stripe and whisker over rounded soft modelling, and Potter's watercolour washes push the background into hazy tonal recession behind hard-edged foreground figures. The chromolithograph infuses a chalky four-colour finish with flat layered ink and soft plate registration, transforming any subject through grinning stylised faces, crisp foreground outline and a warm earthy low-chroma harmony. A group of anthropomorphic cats standing upright and dressed in human touches, a tall brown tabby wearing spectacles and a black bow tie leading a small white kitten with a red bow tie by the hand, flanked by tabby, grey, and black cats, a title reading The Good Puss. Wide full-length group shot at eye level, the tall tabby striding forward at right of centre while the small kitten walks beside it looking up, the surrounding cats clustered across the middle ground facing forward or turning toward the pair, a lone kitten peering over the wall at upper right, all figures sharp against the background. Scene set outside the brick-walled gateway of Dame Tibby's School during daytime, with a cheerful open-air mood, featuring stone gate pillars topped with round finials, painted signs, a wooden gate, and a tiled house among trees behind the wall.

yeah its a fun mix! Better then i expected!

CaylaCatz

I agree. It's unusual when a mix/prompt works on all the models. I almost never use artist names but once in a while I cave and do Louis Wain just because I think his style is so much fun

CaylaCatz

Interesting to see what a combo of Wain and Potter would look like. I love both their styles in painting anthropomorphic animals but they are so different from each other. these are delightful

justrob

If i notified you here, and you dont want me to do so - let me know and I will gladly remove you from my notify lists!

justrob
