Prompt template
Render {subject} as a 1980s commercial airbrush (aerograph) illustration. Build the entire form from soft sprayed continuous tonal gradients applied with an atomized spray — no hard outlines anywhere, every edge and transition is a smooth feathered fade from light to shadow. Add liquid-metal chrome highlights with crisp specular hotspots and mirror-like reflective sheen on the brightest surfaces, set against matte airbrushed gradient fields elsewhere. Surround the form with atmospheric haze, soft bloom, and a luminous glow. Colour the gradients from {palette}, letting hues melt smoothly into one another across the frame with one warm light source. High-gloss, ethereal, continuous-tone, full-frame composition filling the entire image. NO text, NO letters, NO logos.
Slot recipes
hero — A wide full-bleed atmospheric scene with one warm glowing light source and a sweeping liquid-chrome ribbon, sprayed gradients melting across the whole frame, calmer negative space on one side for an overlay.
feature — A single luminous focal object rendered in continuous airbrushed tone with chrome highlights on a dreamy gradient backdrop.
avatar — A serene figure in three-quarter light, skin and forms built from soft spray fades with chrome rim highlights.
empty-state — A quiet hazy gradient field with one small chrome glint, mostly soft atmosphere and glow.
illustration — Soft rounded forms and distant shapes dissolving into atmospheric haze, lit by a single warm glow with crisp chrome accents.

  • Hajime SorayamaArtistHyper-glossy airbrushed chrome and liquid-metal rendering is strongly associated with Sorayama's commercial airbrush work.
  • 1980s commercial airbrush / aerograph illustrationTraditionThe soft sprayed continuous-tone gradients, atmospheric haze, and bloom are drawn from the aerograph illustration tradition of 1980s album, editorial, and advertising art.
  • Pater SatoArtistSmooth atmospheric airbrushed figures and dreamy gradient fields echo the airbrush portraiture tradition Sato helped popularize.

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
  • · Build every form from atomized spray gradients with no hard outlines.
  • · Reserve crisp specular hotspots and mirror sheen for liquid-metal chrome surfaces only.
  • · Let one warm light source anchor the haze and bloom across the frame.
  • · Melt adjacent hues smoothly into one another for continuous-tone depth.
  • · Fill the frame edge to edge with a single dominant subject or scene.
Don't
  • · Do not draw hard ink outlines, vector edges, or flat colour blocks.
  • · Do not add print dots, halftone, letterpress, engraving, or woodcut texture.
  • · Do not add photographic grain, harsh contrast, or visible brush strokes.
  • · Do not lay out empty margins, title blocks, or any text.
  • · Do not let the chrome sheen spread onto matte gradient areas.
