Intense vintage tintype portrait of a woman — AI art by @justrob
@justrob · 10/10/2026
Entry in the Same Prompt - Different Models theme on BudgetPixel.
Same collodion prompt, six models, and the plate flaws land differently in each one. Look at the poured edges first, then where the copper-brown oxidation stops and the near-opaque black begins. After that comes the hair, how much of the left eye the loose strands actually cross, and how quickly focus drops off past the cheek. Which version 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

AI Model: SeeDream 5.0 Pro
Prompt: Large-format fine-art photography that embraces plate flaws + wet plate collodion on black glass, where a deliberately imperfect plate surface creates a razor-thin focal plane that drops quickly into soft blur through wide-aperture large-format optics, and the collodion process infuses silver-dense highlights that bloom into surrounding darks via uneven emulsion sensitivity. The fusion manifests as ragged poured edges oxidised to copper-brown, dust specks, scratches and comet streaks, cool teal shadows against warm cream lights, transforming any subject through crushed near-opaque blacks and chemical imperfection. A woman with a mane of wild, voluminous pale blonde curls falling past her shoulders, dark eye makeup, faint freckles across her nose and cheeks, full lips, and a dark garment gathered at her neck and shoulders. Close-up at eye level, face filling the frame, head tilted slightly down with chin lowered, eyes lifted toward the viewer, loose strands of hair crossing her forehead and one cheek and partly veiling the left eye, shoulders cropped at the lower edge, the background behind her falling out of focus. Scene set in an undefined dark interior during an unspecified time, with a plain shadowed backdrop and no visible objects or surroundings.
