Prompt template

{subject}, in the style of Screentone Press: bold black manga ink linework with confident varied brush weights, classic gekiga halftone screentone dot shading for midtones and shadows, printed on warm off-white paper texture, {palette}, high contrast pure black and paper, one single small acid-lime hand-drawn highlight stroke as the only spot of color, full-frame edge-to-edge composition

Slot recipes

hero — {subject} rendered large and dramatic, low or three-quarter angle, dynamic gekiga energy with speed-line or splash motion, bold black ink and dense halftone screentone on warm paper, one acid-lime hand-tag mark; fills the full frame edge to edge

feature — {subject} in clean three-quarter view, crisp confident inking with measured screentone shading and a cast halftone shadow, warm paper ground, single acid-lime highlight stroke; centered and frame-filling

avatar — {subject} close-cropped portrait, bold inked contours, fine screentone hatching on the form, warm paper, one small acid-lime accent behind the eye or edge; tight head-and-shoulders crop filling the frame

empty-state — {subject} small and calm against a generous warm-paper field with a faint diagonal halftone wash, minimal sparse inking, a single understated acid-lime tick mark; quiet but still frame-aware

illustration — {subject} as a detailed monochrome manga screentone plate, rich black ink linework, layered halftone tones for depth, warm paper texture, one acid-lime hand-drawn highlight; full-bleed composition, no borders

produced by unrecorded · sourced by unrecorded · images by unrecorded

· Keep the relationship pure black ink on warm off-white paper as the base of every image
· Use halftone screentone dots for shading, not smooth digital grey gradients
· Reserve exactly one small acid-lime (#B7D23A) hand-drawn mark per image for emphasis
· Vary brush weight confidently — thick contour lines, fine interior hatching
· Let the subject fill the frame edge to edge with a clear focal read

Don't

· Do not add full color, neon glows, or more than the single acid-lime accent
· Do not use smooth airbrushed grey instead of dot screentone
· Do not add panel borders, gutters, captions, or white margins around the image
· Do not let the technique become character-illustration wallpaper with no inked structure
· Do not mute the contrast into grey — keep pure black against paper
