been playing with GPT Image 2 and really liked how this one turned out.

I wanted a quiet Japanese travel-zine kind of look, simple train interior, lots of empty space, imperfect ink lines, soft watercolor, slightly aged paper.

The orange seat ended up being a nice little focal point too.

Prompt below if anyone wants to try it:

Create a minimalist vintage travel-journal illustration of a modern city train interior: a row of empty blue-and-white seats beside large windows, one distinctive orange seat, thin stainless-steel poles, overhead rails, and several triangular hanging hand straps. Draw it with delicate imperfect ink outlines combined with soft watercolor washes in muted blue, pale orange, warm gray and cream. Place the illustration on slightly aged warm ivory paper with visible fibers, subtle paper grain, uneven hand-painted edges, tiny print imperfections and lots of elegant negative space. Add refined editorial typography reading “CITY RIDE” with the small subtitle “A quiet journey through the light.” underneath. Contemporary Japanese travel-zine aesthetic, quiet nostalgic mood, sophisticated minimal graphic design, handmade feel, balanced composition, vertical 4:5 format, no logos, no watermark.

I'm sure a human could do a better job, but damn this is just what I was imagining.

Used ChatGPT to reproduce a more photorealistic version of my SL (Second Life) avatar based on a few screenshots... and then reference-ized it. <3
