I have a (previously unpublished) Bisley style. I had to try it on something similar to @southamericanmyth fantastic image! Same prompt, five models. I was curious where the Bisley ink would survive and where the Vallejo polish would take over. Watch the demon's mouth and the edge of her pauldrons across the row. The smoke and embers shift around a lot too, so that's the least reliable part to judge. Models, in order: 1. seedream-5.0-pro 2. gpt-image-2 3. nano-banana-2-lite 4. grok-imagine-image-2 5. muse-image-1.0 Reference image: https://cdn.budgetpixel.com/posts/13703/1788329941663991444-ff5c86bb-721d-41dd-94cc-e884f4e39519.webp

AI Model: seedream-5.0-pro

Prompt: Simon Bisley + Boris Vallejo, where Simon Bisley's dynamic inking creates intense dramatic lighting through bold contrasts, and Boris Vallejo's smooth blending produces polished metallic surfaces via layered glazes. The fusion manifests as high contrast lighting, detailed texture rendering and flowing organic forms, transforming any subject through dynamic volumetric modeling.

gpt2 had a good approach to that style, i think some other words could trigger a different result, "pencil art" to make it look less hyperreal or realistic, "semi-realistic" or "realistic-toon" to get more close to the exagerated body muscles and proportions 🤔
