Plumbline

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

Prompt template

{subject}, in the style of Plumbline: rendered as a distant exploded diagnostic plate floating in deep matte-black negative space, segmented into separated matte-graphite component fragments pulled slightly apart in an exploded view, {palette}, overlaid with one-pixel pale blue-white hairline reticle arcs and crosshair ticks like a technical drawing, dotted leader lines connecting small amber-orange numbered callout tabs to each fragment, tiny square monospace serial labels and LCD-gray data rectangles at the edges, large quiet void around the subject to express scale and distance, cold restrained schematic, no glow, full frame

Slot recipes

hero — {subject} as a single dominant exploded diagnostic plate set low-and-distant in a wide black void, one large pale reticle ring framing it, three to five amber numbered leader callouts radiating to its fragments, sparse mono serial labels in the corners, 16:9, full bleed

feature — a tighter exploded view of {subject} with two or three labeled fragments separated, crosshair ticks aligned to an orthogonal grid, one amber callout cluster on the side the eye scans first, generous black around it, 4:3

avatar — {subject} reduced to a compact frontal diagnostic bust on deep black, a single pale reticle ring and crosshair centering it, one small amber serial tab, minimal fragmentation, 1:1, full frame

empty-state — an almost-empty black field with only a faint pale reticle ring, a single crosshair tick, and one quiet amber 'NO SIGNAL' style serial tab where {subject} would sit, maximum negative space, 4:3

illustration — {subject} drawn as a flat technical line-and-fill exploded schematic on matte black, graphite fills with hairline contours, dotted amber leader callouts to separated parts, mono part labels, no photographic shading, 4:3

produced by unrecorded · sourced by unrecorded · images by unrecorded

· Keep the subject distant and surrounded by large quiet black void to express scale.
· Segment the subject into a few separated, slightly-pulled-apart matte-graphite fragments (exploded view).
· Draw reticle arcs, rings and crosshair ticks as one-pixel pale blue-white hairlines, never glowing.
· Use dotted leader lines from small amber numbered tabs to each fragment.
· Add sparse square monospace serial labels and LCD-gray data rectangles only at the edges.
· Let amber be the single saturated accent, reserved for callout numbers and leader endpoints.

Don't

· Do not add neon glow, bloom, lens flare, or saturated cyberpunk gradients.
· Do not center the subject as a heroic glossy poster object.
· Do not fill the void with widgets, charts, or decorative noise.
· Do not use green matrix rain or hacker-terminal cliches.
· Do not turn serial labels into dense unreadable microtext texture.
· Do not introduce a second saturated accent competing with amber.
