Entry in the Same Prompt - Different Models theme on BudgetPixel.
Same prompt through six models, all aimed at the reference picture linked at the bottom: leaning houses stacked in tiers, flat mosaic cells filling every surface, colour pooling in wax-resist blotches. Some keep the wobbling outlines readable while others let the pattern swallow them whole, so which one would you keep? Models, in order: 1. seedream-5.0-pro 2. nano-banana-2-lite 3. muse-image-1.0 4. grok-imagine-image 5. gpt-image-2 6. flux-3-image Reference image: https://images.nightcafe.studio/ik-seo/jobs/X7WWU3kfhugu1hdl3EWp/X7WWU3kfhugu1hdl3EWp--0--4aqUy/sunrise-style-of-hundertwasser.jpg?tr=w-1080,c-at_max

AI Model: SeeDream 5.0 Pro
Prompt: Friedensreich Hundertwasser + Gustav Klimt + batik wax-resist dye, where Hundertwasser's wobbling hand-drawn contours create undulating, never-straight edges and concentric echo lines that ripple outward from any focal form, and Klimt's tessellated ornament produces mosaic patches of flat pattern that fill every surface, and the wax-resist dye infuses mottled translucent colour pooling against dark crackled resist lines. The fusion manifests as high-chroma neighbouring hues in small bounded cells, never blended, with even detail density and no cast shadow, transforming any subject through patchwork flattening. A whimsical village of tall, narrow, leaning houses with domed towers, small lit windows and rounded doorways, with cypress trees, two spiral-topped trees and a large sun disc overhead Wide establishing view at eye level, the village stacked in overlapping tiers that recede from a checkered foreground terrace through the mid-ground trees and houses to the horizon, everything visible in deep focus Scene set in a hilly countryside at sunrise or sunset, with a huge concentric sun filling the sky, featuring rolling terraced slopes and winding paths among the houses

i've used someone elses prompt maybe 15 times in the last 3 years. Whats the fun of copying someone elses work & using it. Then its just feeding coins into the machine.

Yeah for me same thing I give recognition to the person I was corrected on that when I 1st started I didn't know. All of my prompts are open. If you wrote it yourself then you took that idea and applied it to your prompt so that really isn't cheating.

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!
justrob
kind of cheated - took the idea from someone on NC. I did write my own prompt, but for me the idea is the hard part.

Hard to say which one I like better...ir all depends on the mood of the moment, I guess. But they are all good.
