Mysterious hooded figure, chest-up portrait, wrapped in layered charcoal-black draped fabric, faceless head replaced by a glowing cosmic void filled with planets, stars, nebula light, radiant orbs in yellow, red, blue, and orange, painterly textured robe with subtle colorful specks, central composition, surreal mystical presence, dreamy cosmic background with swirling nebula clouds, celestial haze, faint galaxies, glowing mist, soft stardust, ethereal atmosphere, luminous ambient glow, fine-art painting, rich texture, moody and magical, high contrast between dark robes and radiant face.
My Winner: GPT Image-2
What it gets right:
* Mysterious hooded figure: immediately readable, strong silhouette, properly ominous without tipping into costume-shop melodrama.
* Chest-up portrait: cleanly framed and centered.
* Layered charcoal-black draped fabric: the robe has real depth and convincing folds, plus that painterly texture you asked for.
* Faceless head replaced by a glowing cosmic void: this is the big one, and Image 3 absolutely delivers. The face area feels like an actual portal or contained universe, not just a decorative galaxy sticker.
* Planets, stars, nebula light, radiant orbs: present and integrated well.
* Dreamy cosmic background: swirling clouds, celestial haze, faint galaxies, luminous mist, all there.
* High contrast between dark robes and radiant face: probably the strongest contrast of the set, which gives it the most visual impact.
Why the others don’t quite take it
Midjourney
Very strong runner-up. The background is gorgeous, and the robe texture is excellent. But the “face” reads more like abstract glowing dots than a fully realized cosmic void with planets and structure. Beautiful, just a little less precise.
Meta
This one is elegant and restrained, almost monastic. The problem is that it undershoots the prompt’s more luminous, magical, nebula-heavy qualities. It has the concept, but not enough spectacle.
Nano Banana
Probably the softest and dreamiest of the bunch. Nice atmosphere, but it feels less moody and less high-contrast than the prompt asks for. The face is also more galaxy-swirl than “cosmic void filled with planets, stars, nebula light, radiant orb
