Style Spectrum: From Realistic to Flat Illustration of the Same Subject

Using the same subject (a potted plant and a tabletop still life) as the thread, generate a reference image with flux-1.1-pro, then use that image as image_prompt together with a text description to drive a style spectrum ranging from realistic photographic texture to minimalist flat vector illustration. The core idea is to treat "style" as a controllable variable: the reference image locks in the composition and the relationships between subjects, while the text prompt handles the migration of materials, brushstrokes, and color systems, thereby comparing expressions at different levels of abstraction while maintaining narrative consistency. Suitable for illustrators exploring styles, design teams building mood boards, and content creators producing multi-style images on the same theme in batches. The work uses a 3:2 landscape composition, making it easy to display side by side and compare layouts.

An editorial-style illustration: on a minimalist wooden desk sits a monstera plant and a ceramic cup, presented as a style spectrum study: the right side of the image remains photorealistic, with soft window light, clearly visible leaf veins, subtle grain, and shallow depth of field; while the left side gradually flattens into clean vector shapes, with a palette limited to sage green, warm ochre, and off-white, simplified contours, and a subtle paper texture. A smooth gradient transition is achieved along the horizontal axis, 3:2 composition, balanced negative space, natural soft lighting, rich detail, with the aesthetic style of an art-directed reference board.
