Entry in the Same Prompt - Different Models theme on BudgetPixel.

I ran this same prompt on five models. The thing to look for is how the skin and hair hold the translucent layer effect, because that tends to go flat or plastic fast. Also compare the background city through the pillars, it changes a lot between versions. Models, in order: 1. seedream-5.0-pro 2. nano-banana-2-lite 3. gpt-image-2 4. grok-imagine-image-2 5. muse-image-1.0 Reference image: https://images.nightcafe.studio/ik-seo/jobs/ytxjQdUmIumDrl5JRBUh/ytxjQdUmIumDrl5JRBUh--0--ijVDA/heres-a-175-word-midjourney-prompt-close-up-fantasy-oil-painting-beautiful-adult-woman-stunningly-go.jpg?tr=w-1600,c-at_max

The fusion manifests as tight edge definition on forms, polished metallic reflections, and flowing linear detail, transforming any subject through high-finish volumetric rendering. A muscular woman with long flowing red hair, wearing red leather armor top, skirt and bracers with gold details, holding a bow and arrow. Medium shot at eye level, the woman in a dynamic archery pose with arms extended drawing the bowstring, body twisted toward the viewer, hair flowing, focused gaze forward.

Glad you like it! 😊

CaylaCatz

very cool Most of them got the arrow position right. I find this stance is one I have to regenerate sometimes due to the arrow being on the wrong side of the bow or even pointed the wrong way

strixowl-47

I'm liking muse too. I have had one problem with it though. It failed a generation because I copied a well known person or something of the sort. Which I didn't. I can't even think of who that person might be.

justrob

these are model comparisons! We should be picky! Its all about seeing how they respond to the same prompt! I dont take offense at any criticism. Really all i do is feed coins into the jukebox.

DavidP

Lots to like in first 4. Didn't like 5. Overall I think 2 is best, largely due to the arrow passing behind the bow. Not through it or in front and floating above the fingers.

justrob

some of the models - it was really hard to get a bowstring. I remember regenerating it several times to fix that. I didn't keep track of arrow position. <sigh>

DavidP

That's true bow, arrow and archer are so so much better than a year ago. I was being super picky given you invite close scrutiny and observation.

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!

Hephzibah

💖💖💖 both my fav. images (GPT2 & Seedream5.0) have more problems with the arrow/bow interface than the other models.

justrob

Seedream really didint want to get the bow right. But Yeah. Im very impressed with Muse
