Grok Imagine Portraits: Realistic vs. Artistic Prompt Comparison

Using the same portrait subject as a thread, this shows the difference between grok-imagine/text-to-image under two prompt directions: one end is a realistic texture close to professional photography (natural skin texture, window-light contours, shallow depth of field), and the other is an artistic treatment with a painterly feel (blocky light and shadow, high-contrast color grading). The work can be generated with just a single text prompt, and parameters are controlled via resolution, aspect_ratio, and output_format, making it suitable for developers as a prompt template reference for quickly testing portrait, character design sheets, and vertical social media assets. This demo selects a 3:4 vertical format and 2k resolution to preserve facial details.
