What feels like ages ago, I created a blog post intended to be a style guide that people might bookmark as a reference. But I moved on and have not invested in time to create the six sample images using the same subject prompt for each style. And in any case if you want styles then @justrob's web-hosted repository is the place to go. Realised this morning I never posted the last set I created, so FWIW here's the style and the 6 images. Style of Milo Manara, voluptuous curves and sensual poses, elaborate background, watercolour and ink, crosshatching, stippling, intricate line work. Needless to say, some of the words in this prompt trigger safety filters in some models. You can tone those down and it still works reasonably well.
