INPUTS TO...

Inputs to customise

  • subjectThe person, product, object, logo, or scene to generate.
  • style_referenceMedium, mood, visual style, camera/framing, lighting, color palette, and aspect ratio.
  • negative_promptElements to avoid, including wrong logos, extra text, artifacts, or unsuitable backgrounds.

Quality checks

  • 2–3 defining qualities of the reference artist's visual language are named and embedded in the scene/subject description.
  • Subject scale relative to the landscape is explicitly stated (small-but-central presence).
  • Lighting is natural-only with shadow development explicitly permitted.
