Slot recipes
heroPlace the primary subject large and centered, emerging from a luminous milky-white field; warm glow bloom on one side, thin azure rim-light on the other; soft-focus diffusion, full-bleed, frame-filling.
featureA single subject in three-quarter view dissolving into frosted-glass haze at the edges; gentle warm-to-cool gradient across the form; calm and airy.
avatarTight head-and-shoulders or object portrait, backlit, skin or surface warmed by a soft glow with a clean cool rim-light, edges melting into the white field; centered, no border.
empty-stateA nearly empty luminous white field with one small subject far off-center, mostly soft opaline haze and a faint warm bloom; quiet and spacious.
illustrationA small still-life or scene of two or three subjects floating in milky diffusion, layered translucency, warm bloom and a single cool rim-light unifying the group; soft-focus throughout.

A generated style is an aggregate of many influences — credit is given to the artists and traditions it draws on, not a claim of authorship.

Do
  • · Let subjects emerge from a luminous milky-white field with no hard outlines.
  • · Build depth from layered translucency and opacity rather than lines or heavy shadow.
  • · Warm one side with a soft glow and trace the opposite contour with a single thin clean rim-light.
  • · Keep the mood calm, premium, and airy; fill the frame edge to edge.
Don't
  • · Do not draw hard black outlines or flat vector linework.
  • · Do not use dark, muddy, or high-contrast grounds.
  • · Do not add text, watermarks, grids, or empty letterbox margins.
  • · Do not oversaturate into neon or a rainbow of competing hues.
