Can AI really juggle 10 REFERENCES? Let's put it to the test!! 👀

👁️ Goal: Create a Halloween poster: a girl doomscrolling in bed while Munch's Scream screams right behind her, and she doesn't notice, the title is "Screen time: 7h 42m. Time left: 0.", while mixing drastically different styles in my refs (anime, baroque chiaroscuro, Munch's expressionism, pixel art). ⚒️ Model: FLUX 3 Image Klein 🌪️ Process: I generated my refs (I love complicating my life yes) and garthered the original paintings, fed it to Flux with a detailed prompt on how to use each of the ref I uploaded.

I uploaded the two best results I got, but it was a few back and forth to get every detail correct! My rating on how the model respected each of my refs (average of both outcomes):

- Palette 5/5 - The Scream 3/5 - De La Tour lighting 3/5 - Paper texture 5/5 - Face 5/5 - Pose 5/5 - Velvet & linen 3/5 - Sky 2/5 (swapped my swirls for a sunset on the first one) - Title 5/5 - Sketch 4/5 (because why was she filled on the second one!!) ✨ Overall rating: 4/5

✍️ Takeaway: Keep the refs very specific and your prompt very detailed. The model doesn't understand "vibes" (the paint swirls became a sunset) only but is very good at following precise instructions (pixel title was perfectly copied), unlike MidJourney for example which is very good at interpretingvibes.

Do you prefer outcome 1 or 2? 😱

Great job Hanna🎉🔥

Nobody likes a loading screen. So I gave it a piano. 🎹 Play while your data graph loads. Press and hold a key and its bar grows. When the loader hits 100%, the piano steps aside and your results rise in its place. The part I still can’t quite believe: I built this without opening a design canvas or writing a single line of code. I described the idea, shared a reference image, and refined it one conversation at a time with AI. What’s the most boring moment in a product you’d love to turn into something fun?

Insurance claim status screens would be my pick, though people wait there anxious rather than bored. In that case showing what's happening step by step beats entertainment, so I'd save the piano for short, low-stakes waits.
