I ran this exact prompt through six different models. Watch the owl on her shoulder, it stays crisp and close in some versions and turns into a soft lump in others. Also compare how the gold helmet and the stars behind her hold up. Each model handles that smooth painted look differently. Models, in order: 1. seedream-5.0-pro 2. flux-2-pro 3. gpt-image-2 4. grok-imagine-image-2 5. nano-banana-2-lite 6. muse-image-1.0 Reference image: https://images.nightcafe.studio/ik-seo/jobs/lTilOsuVsP06e3seaF3h/lTilOsuVsP06e3seaF3h--1--xiyrb_4x-real-esrgan-x4-plus/athene-goddess-of-athens.jpg?tr=w-1600,c-at_max
