This whimsical pop surrealism portrait depicts a fortune teller wearing an ornate pink lace hat and pink corseted gown, seated in a dreamlike desert landscape dotted with melting pocket watches. Her voluminous swirling blue hair flows around her as she rests her long pink nails across a spread of cute illustrated cat tarot cards laid out on a weathered wooden table.

  That's Man Ray and he, in collaboration with his girlfriend Lee Miller, made b&w surrealist photographs. One of the things I noticed about GPT 2.5 Sunburst is if the artist is b&w, the image becomes a muted handtinted image in the style of their b&w photograph like this first one with Julia Margaret Cameron's style. She was a pictorialist photographer who worked in b&w exclusively, no handtinted and yet the image looks hand tinted. That's only 2 cases so I don't know for sure if it will carry through for other b&w photographers. https://budgetpixel.com/p/83704

  yeah, I think you might be right about #2. perhaps Muse picks up on all images with the Dali name attached while GPT paid attention to the "style of" and only paid attention to Dali paintings. This was an interesting experiment. It might be interesting to try it with other painters whose face was as famous as their artwork like Warhol.

  Dali is the only one I know without looking them up. I think it was an interesting experiment. Might have to try something like that, same prompt different artist influences. For overall appeal, regardless of artist, I am really drawn to 3.

  I'm going to guess there were references to colors in your prompts and GPT was struggling to find the balance with the colors mentioned and the B&W nature of the reference resulting in the beautiful hand tinted effect.

  Yeah, I liked both the GPT Man Ray and Cameron. I think those were the best out of the two sets. But I like photography and long time ago took a class in history of photography. so I might be biased

  Muse did give her Dali's eyes and eyebrows, though. 😁 GPT's interpretation of Man Ray looks very good--and very Man Ray. Almost as good as its version of Cameron in the first batch, I'd say.

• @CaylaCatz · Sep 18, 2026

  thank you. Most of them it's because I said pink and stygian blue. With the Man Ray one in particular, I think that became more muted because he worked in b&w surrealist photography

  I like numbers 2, 3, and 5 the best; I think number 2 is even sort of imitating Dalí's face—or at least the expression.

  Outstanding set! I really like the muted colors for this set!

  Well, yes, that would be interesting.
