Style ID

Style prompt

Handmade paper relief built from cut, folded and coiled shapes with visible fibrous grain, crisp layered edges and soft cast shadows between layers. Faces are simple rounded paper planes with dot eyes, a small shaped nose, a simple mouth and soft blush, plus layered strip hair. Animal companions keep their true build pieced from layered paper with matching dot eyes. Directional light models the stacked depth. Palette, paper treatment and setting are chosen to suit the scene.

Prompt for this image

A middle-aged woman with short grey hair sits by a window in soft afternoon light, looking straight at the viewer. No letters, words, signs or logos anywhere in the image. Sculptural paper relief made from rolled quilled spirals, thick stacked cutouts and fine fibrous card texture. Use plum, lilac, coral, butter yellow, magenta and teal against warm ochre, with richly saturated midtones and deep layer shadows. Build adult faces from small rounded paper planes, tiny eyes, curved mouths and raised noses; shape the dog's ears and muzzle from folded cutouts. Warm side light makes the curled edges cast clear dimensional shadows. Surround the group with decorative paper coils and soft cutout cloud forms.

Prompt for this image

An adult woman and an adult man stand at the end of a wooden pier on a bright afternoon, looking toward the viewer, a lake behind them. No letters, words, signs or logos anywhere in the image. Build the image from tactile cut-paper shapes with visible fibrous grain, crisp layered edges and shallow cast shadows that give forms a handmade dimensional relief. Use a clear palette of butter yellow, cream, ochre, plum, coral, turquoise and deep blue, with bold flat planes and strong light-dark separation. Simplify faces into rounded shapes, tiny dot eyes and minimal curved features. Soft directional light emphasizes the stacked layers. Set figures against simple paper fields or richly layered angular paper scenery with decorative curls and cutout forms.

Prompt for this image

Two adult friends stand side by side on a sunny city rooftop terrace, calm smiles, looking at the viewer. No letters, words, signs or logos anywhere in the image. Highly layered faceted paper-cut illustration with sharp folded planes, visible stacked edges and tactile grain. Intensify colours from the supplied photo with strong dark-light contrast. Construct people or pets from angular overlapping facets, with clear eyes and sculpted features. Dramatic warm light models the forms while deep shaded recesses separate the layers. Build surrounding shapes from the photo's surfaces, retaining radiating folds and richly layered depth while opening busy detail into airy larger planes. Subjects may be re-posed in a way that suits the style. No text or lettering.

Prompt for this image

Create a new image entirely in the style of image 1: the same medium, materials, technique, rendering and character design (how it builds faces, eyes, hair, bodies and proportions). Do not copy its color palette or its environment; colors and setting follow the direction at the end. Its subjects are the two people and the dog from image 2: keep their hair, clothing colors, the dog's coat, their pose, expression and the direction they look, and the cafe table with cups. Every part of them is made in the style of image 1, faces, hands, clothes and the dog included; nothing photographic remains. Square 1:1 composition; do not copy image 1's people, objects or scene. Direction: subject-focused sculptural paper relief; the two people seated on their two bistro chairs at the round table with cups and croissant, and the dog, built from thick stacked cutouts and fine fibrous card, faces from small rounded paper planes with tiny eyes and raised noses; a plain soft sky-blue card ground framed by rolled quilled spirals and paper leaves in coral, mint, cream and deep cobalt, deep layer shadows, warm side light. Keep real clothing colors. No text, letters, captions, banners, signs, swatches, color chips or decorative rules anywhere in the image. The artwork and any border finish completely inside the frame; nothing is cropped or overflows the edges.
