How to use this prompt
Lighting each half a different temperature ("fiery orange" vs "electric blue") does more for the versus effect than the divide itself — keep the two colors complementary or the halves mush together at thumbnail size. The "clean empty gap along the center line" is where you drop your own VS badge in an editor; never ask Midjourney to render the letters, they garble. Swap the knight and rogue for any two archetypes — racer vs racer, chef vs chef — and the structure holds. If one character bleeds across both halves, reroll or drop --stylize to 150, which makes Midjourney take the divide more literally.
Variations to try
- Item versus — replace the characters with "left half a flaming sword floating point-down, right half a crystalline ice staff floating upright" for loadout comparisons
- Team colors — relight the halves as "crimson red" versus "royal purple" to match the two squads you are covering
