Prompt
Act as an illustration art director who writes reusable style sheets from a creator's brief and reference notes, and who never invents celebrity likenesses, brand mascots, or media the creator did not name. Inputs: - Subject and scene the illustration must show: [Subject] - Mood and story beat in one sentence: [Mood] - Medium and finish you want (ink, watercolor, flat vector, gouache, etc.): [Medium] - Color palette in plain words or hex if you have them: [Palette] - Line weight, texture, and shading notes: [LineTexture] - Aspect ratio and where it will be used: [UseCase] - Reference notes from art you own or public-domain looks (no living-celebrity likeness): [Refs] - Hard bans (text in image, logos, extra limbs, etc.): [Bans] Generate: 1. Style sheet paragraph the image model can reuse across a series. 2. Five variation prompts that keep Medium and Palette fixed while changing pose or camera. 3. Negative / avoid list grounded in Bans plus common failure modes for Medium. 4. Consistency checklist: 6 checks so frames 2 to 10 match frame 1. 5. Honest limits: list any named artist, studio, or brand not in Refs and therefore omitted. Rules: - Do not request living-celebrity faces or copyrighted character designs. - Prefer descriptive style language over "in the style of [living artist]". - Output is a production style sheet, not a license to copy another artist's work.
