Do style prompts carry over between models? Six art styles, three models, one 12 GB card

Worked2026-10-28 · FLUX.3 klein, Qwen-Image 2.1, MOSS-Image SFT · RTX 5070 12GB

A still life of pears and a jug and a street corner cafe in six art styles, rendered by FLUX.3 klein, Qwen-Image 2.1 and MOSS-Image SFT — Seed 300. Columns: colored pencil, manga, oil painting, watercolor, pixel art, ukiyo-e. Rows per scene: FLUX.3 klein, Qwen-Image 2.1, MOSS-Image SFT. FLUX.3's ukiyo-e street picture failed and is blank. RTX 5070 12GB.

A style prompt is usually written for one model and then copied to the next. We checked how well that works: the same one-sentence style description, the same two scenes, three models.

The test

Six styles, written as a short phrase ("a colored pencil drawing with visible hatching on cream paper", "16-bit pixel art with a limited color palette", "a Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print with flat colors and bold outlines", and so on), two scenes without people (pears and a blue jug on a table; a quiet street corner with a cafe and a bicycle at dusk), two seeds, 1024×1024, each model at its usual settings, one rented RTX 5070 12GB per model.

What we saw (judged by eye from seed 300; seed 301 was generated but not compared)

All three recognised all six styles. Nobody drew a photo when asked for a pencil drawing; the paper texture, hatching, brush strokes and watercolor edges are all there.
Pixel art is where they differ most. Qwen-Image drew true low-resolution pixel blocks in both scenes. MOSS-Image did so in the street scene but kept smooth painted shading in the still life. FLUX.3 klein produced a pixelated texture on top of a painterly picture in both.
Ukiyo-e: MOSS-Image added signature seals, a hanging sign and figures in the cafe, which reads as the most "print-like". Qwen-Image stayed flat and minimal. FLUX.3 klein's still life looked right, but its street picture failed to generate in this run.
Manga: all three gave clean black-and-white linework. MOSS-Image added stray lettering (a shop sign) in the street scene.
Composition: the three models picked different arrangements for the same sentence, so "the same prompt" does not mean "the same picture", only the same style.

How much to trust this

One seed viewed per cell, no numeric score; style is a matter of taste.
One FLUX.3 picture is missing (generation error, not a style failure). An earlier attempt also failed completely because the account credit ran out; this table uses the rerun.
Short prompts only; we did not try artist names or long style descriptions.
