comparative study

I gave the beta version Krea 3, a try using the free generation allowance.
To be honest, the results didn't impress me.
In any case, even if they release the open weights, I’ll likely continue working specifically on Krea 2.

Yes, there are a lot of details, and the brushstroke-like execution of the composition is cool; however, it also introduces a "plastic" look, and the overall readability suffers. Besides, you could achieve a similar effect -likely even better- by running an image through Qwen Image 2.1.
This particular piece is 2 megapixels (1536 x 2736), whereas my example is 1 megapixel (768 x 1368).
Krea3 It reminds me a bit of old SD 1.5 fine-tunes, just with better detail or perhaps DALL-E 3.
