Style Notes

Avatar / Profile: Head-and-shoulders framing that stays readable as a tiny circle — centered face, clean background, strong color separation.
Character Design: A character presented for reference: readable silhouette, costume and prop details, often multiple angles or expressions in one sheet.
Close-up: Tight crop on the subject — texture and emotion over context; pairs naturally with high-detail and shallow depth of field.
Dark & Moody: Low ambient light, deep shadows, desaturated or cool palette — atmosphere and mystery over clarity.
Interior Space: Room-scale scenes with coherent perspective, furniture styling and light sources — architectural visualization meets lifestyle photography.
Low Key: Predominantly dark frame with selective highlights — moody, dramatic, and very sensitive to where the light source is placed in the prompt.
Minimalist: Few elements, generous negative space, restrained palette — the model is told to leave things out, which makes composition errors much less likely.
Photo: Asks the model for photorealistic output — natural lighting, believable skin and materials, camera-like depth of field — rather than illustration or 3D looks.
Social Media Post: Composition and aspect ratio tuned for feeds (Instagram, X, Xiaohongshu): bold focal subject, room for overlay text, colors that survive small screens.
