From Realistic to Flat: A Four-Panel Spectrum of Illustration Styles
Using the same subject (a solitary lighthouse on a lakeside in the mountains) to make a side-by-side comparison across four style anchor points: the realistic end with realistic oil painting texture, semi-realistic cinematic illustration, color-blocked vector intermediate state, and the minimalist flat geometric end. The purpose is to observe the response range of compact distilled models like FLUX.2 klein 4B to style prompts—it is distilled from the larger FLUX.2 base, and its understanding of lighting, materials, and composition is relatively mature, so it is suitable for using a set of prompts with fixed composition and only style descriptions changed to test "whether the style gradient is continuous and predictable." This work presents four art styles in a 2×2 grid, all using the same model, the same aspect ratio and resolution settings, with only the prompt changing, making it easy for developers to use the results directly as a tuning baseline for style prompts. It is suitable for scenarios such as illustration style exploration, style board previews for art direction, and real-time style iteration previews on local consumer-grade GPUs.

Model FLUX.2 Klein 4B
Prompt
A single scene presented in four illustration styles in a 2x2 grid, all depicting the same solitary lighthouse on a rocky cliff overlooking a tranquil lake and distant mountains: top left, a realistic oil painting with impasto brushstrokes, warm ochre and umber tones, dramatic warm backlighting and visible canvas texture; top right, a semi-realistic cinematic editorial illustration with soft rim light, soft teal and amber tones, painterly yet clean forms; bottom left, a stylized vector-like illustration using large flat color blocks with subtle grain, simplified wave and cloud shapes, a limited palette dominated by indigo, cream, and rust; bottom right, a minimalist flat geometric illustration with pure solid color fills, no gradients, simplified into circles, triangles, and horizontal bands, with ample negative space. The four images maintain a consistent composition and horizon line, a tranquil and contemplative atmosphere, high detail, crisp edges
