Style
Ink wash
Fur becomes brushwork and edges soften — pigment and stroke stand in for photographic detail.
Both sample pets are AI-generated demonstration photographs — not customer pets, and not pictures of real animals. Every styled version is one real generation, not a mock-up, and the model draws it differently every time.
The prompt
This is the whole thing, word for word — the same text we send.
Repaint this pet entirely as a traditional Chinese ink-wash painting in the loose xieyi manner: every part of the animal constructed from individual, clearly visible calligraphic brushstrokes — bold wet strokes for the body, flying-white dry-brush streaks in the fur, a few confident thin lines for whiskers — with generous white rice paper showing through inside the body, soft ink bleeds at the stroke edges, and ink gradations from deep black to pale wash. This must read as brushwork, never as a grayscale photograph: no continuous photographic tone anywhere, the fur suggested by sparse expressive strokes rather than rendered. Keep this exact pet completely recognizable: the same pose, the same body proportions, its unique markings expressed in ink tones, the same expression. Place the pet on a plain solid white background, the whole pet inside the frame, with a clearly defined silhouette. The source photo may be poorly lit — render the subject clearly and evenly regardless. No text, no watermark, no signature, no border.
Why the highlighted sentence matters
Image models don't return a transparent background — the picture comes back opaque, and the cut line has to be found again afterwards. A busy or bled-out background is a cut line a factory would sew wrong. That one sentence is what keeps the edge findable.

Why it prints well
- The washes are allowed to be soft inside, but the constraint line keeps the outer contour closed — that single path is what the blade follows.
- Colour resolves into a few confident areas rather than fine gradient, and broad colour is what still reads once it is printed on cloth.
One honest note
The two pets above are AI-generated demonstration photographs — not customer pets, and not pictures of real animals. Each styled half is one real pass of this prompt, not a best-of, and AI draws it differently every time: yours will come out in this style, and it will not come out identical to these pictures.
