An engine-agnostic style recipe: a wide hero, proof shots across subjects, and a portable prompt.

Dyed tissue paper

1 hero · 3 proofs

Prompt template

{subject}, in the style of Glassine — built entirely from thin sheets of translucent dyed tissue paper layered over one another, where the sheets overlap the colours visibly multiply and deepen into a third darker tone so layering itself models form, light and shadow; glassine-like luminosity where light glows through the semi-transparent paper, soft brushy glue-wash edges and gentle crinkle and fibre texture across every sheet, no hard cut outlines, {palette} used like luminous highlighters over warm cream paper, bright clean and luminous, tactile handmade picture-book craft, the subject fills the entire frame edge to edge

Slot recipes

hero — {subject} rendered in wide full-frame translucent dyed tissue-paper layers, colours multiplying where sheets overlap into luminous deeper tones, glue-wash edges and crinkle texture, warm cream paper, the composition filling the frame edge to edge

feature — a single centred {subject} built from a few translucent dyed tissue-paper sheets, overlaps deepening into a third tone to model its volume, soft glue-wash edges on warm cream paper, the subject filling the frame

avatar — a tight {subject} motif in two or three overlapping translucent tissue-paper sheets, colour multiplying at the overlaps, crinkle fibre texture, centred and filling the frame

empty-state — a single quiet {subject} silhouette in a few calm translucent tissue layers on warm cream paper, gentle and uncrowded, still full-frame

illustration — {subject} built entirely from layered translucent dyed tissue paper, every overlap multiplying into a richer tone, glue-wash brushy edges and fibre texture throughout, warm paper ground, full-frame, no drawn border

· Build every form from THIN TRANSLUCENT tissue sheets so colours multiply where they overlap into a deeper third tone.
· Let the overlaps do the modelling — form, volume and shadow come from stacked translucency, not from outlines.
· Keep soft brushy glue-wash edges, crinkle wrinkles and visible paper fibre across every sheet.
· Apply the technique to any subject — a face, a landscape, a teapot, an animal — equally.

Don't

· Never render the apparatus itself (no scissors, glue, brush, or a paper sheet lying on a desk).
· Never use opaque flat shapes or hard cut-paper edges — the paper must read as semi-transparent.
· Never use smooth digital gradients, glossy plastic, neon, or let the colour go grey and muddy.
· Never add text, numbers, logos, or a drawn decorative border.
