Same prompt through five models. Look at the charcoal smudge and how much of the woman's face gets eaten by black in each one. Also watch the eye and house, they either stay readable or melt into the background. The collodion texture is what separates the versions. Models, in order: 1. seedream-5.0-pro 2. flux-2-pro 3. gpt-image-2 4. nano-banana-2-lite 5. grok-imagine-image-2 Reference image: http://localhost:5182/dl/midjourney/2024-04-16/6d7e744e-557d-4f09-833d-65a96f3ad7b7_0_3.png
![[Distressed sepia tintype surreal portrait of eerie young woman, with superimposed giant eye and abandoned haunted houses]](https://cdn.budgetpixel.com/posts/2917/1787881249719132317-a8ca1e4d-441b-4252-8907-7a77d104a634.png)

AI Model: seedream-5.0-pro
Prompt: Wet plate collodion tintype process + noir charcoal tonal handling, where the collodion surface creates warm monochrome depth through bromide staining, halation blooms and blistered plate edges, and charcoal modelling produces forms surfacing from and dissolving back into dense black via smudged tonal massing. The fusion manifests as etched sinuous linework raked across raised lit passages, multiple exposures welded together through shared shadow, and detail spent only where a lit plane turns, transforming any subject through decayed low-chroma sepia and abrupt collapse into black. A young woman with dark hair parted in the middle and pulled back, sinister swirling scar-like markings crawling across the left side of her face, wearing a dark buttoned collared shirt, with a large disembodied bloodshot human eye and a decaying wooden house fused into the scene. Medium close-up at eye level, the woman facing forward with her body angled slightly and a hollow unsettling stare directed just past the lens, filling the left and center of the frame, while a staring eye and a looming house overlap the right side in a nightmarish double-exposure layering. Scene set beside a derelict gabled house among bare skeletal trees during a grim overcast dusk, with a menacing dread-soaked atmosphere, featuring withered grass and a haunted desolate landscape.
