I wrote this prompt to chase a picture I had in my head, and none of the versions below land on it exactly. The water is where they split: how the rain meets the surface, and whether the red sun reads as a sun or just a flat smear of red. Watch the raised arm holding the umbrella, too, since a couple of them let it droop or lose the hand in the sleeve. 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

Tags: japanese illustration, ukiyo-e style, kimono woman, red wagasa umbrella, rainy japanese landscape, fantasy art, traditional japanese aesthetic, crimson sunset, floral kimono, ethereal art, surreal illustration, oriental art, rainy scene, decorative illustration, japanese umbrella
AI Model: seedream-5.0-pro
Prompt: Cracked metallic grounds support swirling linear patterns and flat colour blocks. Elongated droplet forms descend in varied sizes and hues. Patterned surface detail is rendered with fine line work over flowing shapes. Atmospheric colour washes unify the field while preserving crisp edges between elements. A woman with long dark hair, wearing a dark floral kimono with a red obi, holding a red umbrella. Medium full shot at eye level, the woman is viewed from behind and the side, body angled away with head turned left, right arm raised to hold the umbrella over her shoulder, left arm at her side, standing in shallow water. Scene set in shallow water during rainfall, with a large red sun in the upper left sky and colorful raindrops falling throughout the scene.

This set is very cool. I like the abstract kimono type motifs but in the landscape, along iwth a bit of abstracted forms like the colorful raindrops gives it a surreal vibe on anime/graphic novel. It's very cool
