Agent redesigns an illustration pipeline by calibrating taste on exemplars, with striking visual analysis
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-28
teortaxesTex shares an instructive workflow: have the model (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash in the screenshots) calibrate on his own successful images first, then redesign the illustration pipeline around that calibration.
The screenshots show remarkably strong visual criticism: the agent breaks down the compositional "machines" shared by exemplars (threshold arc, ritual frieze, scale against the vast, uncanny stillness, icon/reliquary), treats the medium as a character (drypoint, fresco, woodblock), catalogs consistent flaws (realistic faces, comic register, photoreal skin) and distills a calibrated north star for the style.
He also mentions hoping for Z-Image 2. A good example of "calibrate taste first, then generate" instead of prompt-hacking.
