{subject}, in the style of high-contrast black-ink-on-paper screentone illustration: hard inked contour lines, manga halftone dot-screen tones graduating across the forms, pure-black shadow masses against bright paper-white highlights, fine cross-hatching in the transitions, grayscale ink-wash atmosphere bleeding at the edges, {palette}, and a single tiny phosphor-green glint as the only color in the entire frame. The subject fills the frame edge to edge with a hard cinematic crop.
Slot recipes
hero — A single dominant subject filling a wide full-bleed frame in black-ink screentone: hard inked contours, halftone dot gradients modelling the volume, deep black shadow mass on one side, paper-white highlights catching the form, ink-wash haze bleeding at the corners; one tiny phosphor-green glint placed off-center as the sole color, leaving room for an overlay.
feature — A mid-distance subject (object, place, or figure) rendered in inked halftone screentone, three-quarter view, hard crop; cross-hatched transitions, a pure-black cast shadow, one small phosphor-green signal point catching a reflective edge.
avatar — A tight three-quarter portrait in black ink and screentone halftone, hard contour on the silhouette, dot-screen tones on the cheek and brow, deep black hair mass, paper-white background; a single phosphor-green glint in one eye as the only color.
empty-state — A quiet near-empty scene in ink screentone: one small distant subject in hard black contour against a wide field of pale ink-wash and sparse halftone dots, lots of paper-white calm, a single tiny phosphor-green point far off in the negative space.
illustration — Any subject treated as a high-contrast inked screentone plate: hard outlines, graduated halftone dot tones, black shadow masses, paper-white highlights, cross-hatched edges, grayscale ink-wash margins, and exactly one phosphor-green glint as the lone color note.

Do
  • · render volume with halftone dot-screen tones and cross-hatching, not flat fills
  • · keep contrast brutal: pure black masses against bright paper-white highlights
  • · draw hard inked contour lines on the silhouette and key forms
  • · let the grayscale ink-wash atmosphere bleed and feather at the edges
  • · place exactly one tiny phosphor-green glint as the only color in the frame
  • · fill the frame edge to edge with the subject and a hard cinematic crop
Don't
  • · do not add full color, multi-color gradients, or a rainbow palette
  • · do not spread the green into a glow, field, or second accent
  • · do not draw panel borders, gutters, speech bubbles, or any text
  • · do not flatten into soft pastel wash, vector shapes, or 3D render
  • · do not leave blank borders or whitespace around the subject
  • · do not soften everything into blur — keep the inked edges hard
