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

Prompt template
{subject} rendered entirely as kiln-fired glazed ceramic / vitreous enamel: every surface coated in a thick glossy translucent glaze that pools deep and dark in the hollows and recesses and runs thin, pale and almost translucent over the raised edges, with a fine network of crackle craquelure webbing across the glossy fired surface, soft ceramic specular highlights catching the light along the high points, and faint iron-spot speckles gathered in the deepest pooled areas. Build the whole image from {palette}: read the first colour as the dominant glaze flooding the form, the deepest neutral as the dark glaze pooling in the hollows and recesses, and the warm accent as a single seasonal glaze pop dripping or marking one part of the subject. Glossy wet-glaze sheen, fired vitreous surface, raised low-relief modelling as if pressed and glazed in clay. NOT a photograph, NOT ink, NOT a wash, NOT a print — a fired ceramic surface. Full frame. NO text, NO letters, NO logos.
Slot recipes
heroA single focal subject set into a calm scene, glazed in the full ceramic technique with the warm accent pooling in one place; composed with an open zone of pale unbroken glaze to one side for an overlay, the modelled subject and pooled colour massed to the other.
featureOne subject, three-quarter view, fully glazed with deep pooling in the hollows and the warm accent as a single drip or mark; pale-glaze ground.
avatarTight crop of one subject as a glazed ceramic relief, glossy specular highlight on the high point, fine crackle across the surface, warm accent at one feature; centred on a pale-glaze ground.
empty-stateA single small subject low in the frame, glazed quietly with shallow pooling and no warm accent, generous pale-glaze space above — calm and unmarked.
illustrationA subject modelled in low relief and fully glazed, thick dark pooling in every recess, crackle webbing throughout, one warm seasonal glaze pop, soft kiln-fired highlights.

Credits · in the lineage of
  • Longquan celadonTraditionThe soft jade-green translucent glaze and the way it pools darker over carved relief descend from Chinese Longquan celadon ware.
  • Jian / tenmoku wareTraditionThe deep iron-brown pooling and iron-spot speckles in the hollows are borrowed from Jian-ware tenmoku glazes.
  • Craquelure / crackle-glaze ceramicsTraditionThe fine crazing network webbing across the glossy surface is the inherited crackle-glaze (Ge ware) effect.

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
  • · Render every subject as if pressed in clay and dipped in glaze: pool colour dark in the hollows, thin and pale on the raised edges
  • · Web a fine craquelure across the glossy surface and gather iron-spot speckles in the deepest pools
  • · Keep the surface glossy and vitreous with soft ceramic specular highlights
  • · Use the warm accent exactly once as a single seasonal glaze pop or drip
Don't
  • · Do not render as ink, wash, line drawing, print, or photograph
  • · Do not let the glaze go flat and matte — it must read as glossy fired ceramic
  • · Do not spread the warm accent across the whole subject; it marks one place
  • · Do not tie the technique to any one subject — it must dress a face, a city, or a teapot equally
