The prompt asks for dense crosshatching and flat comic colour at the same time, which is a hard ask. Watch how each version handles the tabby stripes and the argyle vest pattern. The outline should stay heavy and crisp, and the shadows should read as engraved marks rather than soft gradients. The brick wall and stone ground should also stay quiet and plain. Models, in order: 1. gpt-image-2 2. seedream-5.0-pro 3. flux-2-pro 4. nano-banana-2-lite 5. grok-imagine-image-2 Reference image: https://d3525k1ryd2155.cloudfront.net/h/243/770/1239770243.0.x.jpg

AI Model: gpt-image-2
Prompt: Nib-driven underground-comic crosshatching + ligne-claire flat colour + spot-colour lithograph over a black keyline, where the crosshatching models every volume through dense parallel and cross-contour strokes that swell and taper to build shadow as woven tone, and the flat-fill method lays even local colour inside firm closed outlines with no blending. The lithograph infuses hand-inked keyline crispness and flat unmodulated spot colour sitting cleanly within contour. The fusion manifests as a heavy uniform-weight outline, hatched cast shadow as solid mark rather than gradient, and a restricted low-chroma earthen palette, transforming any subject through obsessive linear modelling under flat bounded colour. An anthropomorphic tabby cat with brown striped fur, half-lidded droopy eyes, and a striped tail, wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, a dark red argyle sweater vest, and blue trousers, standing on bare paws. Full-body shot at eye level, the cat facing forward and leaning back against a wall with legs crossed at the ankles, arms tucked behind, head tilted slightly with a bored gaze toward the viewer, tail curling out to the left. Scene set against a plain brick wall with a stone-paved ground, in an undefined outdoor corner, with a quiet idle atmosphere.
