We have added four new text-2-image models to Integrail, and couldn’t be happier with this. I am sure you know Midjourney — it is still probably the leader — and we have compared it with Dall-E and a basic Stable Diffusion model in the first part of this article. There, midjourney was (and still is) the best, but unfortunately, they do not allow access to them via API, which means if you want a good text-2-image option in your complex AI agents you are out of luck.

This is not true anymore! The four models we tested all provide amazing quality across the wide range of prompts — see for yourself below, and start using on Integrail today! We have tested stylizations, portraits, fantasy settings, aliens, people, toys, book illustrations, game design elements — everything so that you can make a judgment for yourselves!

Traditional Bonus: Grumpy cat in “Scream” by Munch as the last picture for your viewing pleasure :)

Every image in this article out of our 45 prompts is structured the same way, left-to-right, top-to-bottom as shown below:

Your representation of the generative text-to-image model

The caption for the image is always a literal prompt, e.g. above it is “Your representation of the generative text-to-image model”.

Let’s start with the NEW 15 prompts (compared to the previous article), and then we will discuss the 30 prompts from the previous article but generated with these four new models.

Part 1: New 15 prompts

1. Girl with a pearl earring in New York

2. The Witcher

4. Post-Apocalyptic AI Agent

5. French Sailor

6. Blues Guitarist

Capture the essence of a seasoned blues guitarist, passionately strumming his electric guitar while seated on a stool along a Bronx sidewalk on a Saturday night. Behind him stands a beautiful woman of color, fully immersed in the soulful music he creates.

Only one model is able to understand that there is a woman in the image, but the mood is excellent in all.

7. Isometric Game Art

isometric view of the programmers office, pc game art

8. Icons Game Art

spritesheet of resource icons for rpg game, game assets, unity assets

11. Japanese Landscape

This is one of the rare cases where with the exception of Playground 2.5 the quality lacks that of Midjourney quite a bit.

12. Hyppopotamus

13. Cat by Chagal

a blue cat flying in the night sky, Marc Chagall painting

14. Martian Octopus

Part 2: 30 “classic” prompts from the previous article

1. Felt Toys Stylization

The lovely world of wool felt, a mouse, a crocodile and a giraffe are having tea with strawberry pie, realistic hyper-detail, soft-focus, chibi, Tilt-shift ,super lighting, volumetrics, Jon Klassen, in focus,80mm lens, Large aperture, light colors

2. Old Book Stylization

Ancient pages filled with sketches and writings of fantasy beasts, monsters, and plants sprawl across an old, weathered journal. The faded dark green ink tells tales of magical adventures, while the high-resolution drawings detail each creature’s intricate characteristics. Sunlight peeks through a nearby window, illuminating the pages and revealing their timeworn charm.

3. Whiskey and Smoke

old wooden table, a shot of whiskey stands on the table, dirty window in the background, dim light, cigarette smoke

4. Woman Playing Cello

Models still struggle with people doing complex tasks, such as playing musical instruments (wait till you see the hands playing piano…)

5. Porcelain

6. Bathroom

this luxurious bathroom features a modern freestanding bathtub in a crisp white finish. the tub sits against a wooden accent wall with glass-like panels, creating a serene and relaxing ambiance. three pendant light fixtures hang above the tub, adding a touch of sophistication. a large window with a wooden panel provides natural light, while a potted plant adds a touch of greenery. the freestanding bathtub stands out as a statement piece in this contemporary bathroom.

This is pretty amazing from all the models. I actually generated a wooden house once with different rooms and made a “for sale” ad with it. Had so many inquiries…

7. Sushi

8. Alien Breakfast

10. A Redhead Portrait

A close-up photographic portrait of a beautiful redhead woman with electric blue eyes.

The portrait in the 1st part is much better — so it pays off to give more detailed descriptions in the prompts.

11. 60s Kodachrome Sci-Fi

photo of futuristic steampunk blond pin-up with a robot, clear facial features, minimalist interiors,1967, kodachrome 25

You may need a couple of tries to get things right with more complex stylizations, but they work out quite nicely at the end.

12. Japanese Girl

an Japanese girl, cinematic lighting

13. More Landscapes

magnificent nature landscape photography, wide Siberian Yenisey river flowing between high mountains, northern beauty, evergreen trees on the shores, sunset reflections in the river, ultra realistic hd render

14. Japanese Ink Stylization

Some misunderstanding of what a “bow” means, otherwise — beautiful.

15. Hands

close up photo of a woman’s hands playing piano keyboard

Aaaa, my eyes, my eyes!! Midjourney is your choice if you want good hands. Playground 2.5 tries.

16. Helmut Newton

A Helmut Newton street photograph. A beautiful young woman standing on the sidewalk in New York street, looking right into the camera.

23. RPG Map

Generating art for games is a popular GenAI application. Together with a couple of examples from the first part of the article, this is something you can work with.

24. RPG User Interface

flat, minimal, simple mobile game UI, character and six weapon slots around the character on top half part of screen, weapon inventory on bottom half of screen, tab bar menu on bottom of screen

25. Fantasy Landscape

Imagine a fantastical night sky adorned with countless twinkling stars and a magnificent, luminous full moon. The moon’s ethereal glow bathes the landscape in a soft, magical light, casting gentle shadows and highlighting the serene beauty of the surroundings. The stars sparkle like diamonds, creating a breathtaking celestial tapestry that evokes a sense of wonder and awe. This enchanting scene captures the serene and mystical essence of a night under the cosmos, where the moon and stars come together to create a moment of pure, otherworldly beauty

26. Children’s Book Illustration

27. Fantasy Skunk

In a fantastical setting, a highly detailed furry humanoid skunk with piercing eyes confidently poses in a medium shot, wearing an animal hide jacket. The artist has masterfully rendered the character in digital art, capturing the intricate details of fur and clothing texture

Another prompt from DALL-E 3 paper, where all models are excellent.

28. Another Illustration

A illustration from a graphic novel. A bustling city street under the shine of a full moon. The sidewalks bustling with pedestrians enjoying the nightlife. At the corner stall, a young woman with fiery red hair, dressed in a signature velvet cloak, is haggling with the grumpy old vendor. the grumpy vendor, a tall, sophisticated man is wearing a sharp suit, sports a noteworthy moustache is animatedly conversing on his steampunk telephone.

Another DALL-E 3 paper prompt.

29. As Promised, Grumpy Cat
