Soft pastel

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.

Redraw this pet entirely as a loose chalk pastel sketch made of big visible strokes: broad side-of-the-stick sweeps as wide as a finger blocking in the body, blunt strokes of a second and third dusty color dragged across them for the markings, and the coarse white paper tooth left showing raw between the strokes and in the gaps inside the animal — the whole drawing put down in a few dozen chalk marks rather than rendered, every one of them still readable as a separate mark, the face and eyes included. A chalk sketch, not a photograph and not photorealistic: no photographic texture, no photographic detail, no smooth continuous tone, no fur or whiskers drawn hair by hair anywhere. The pastel edges may be soft, but keep the pet's overall silhouette clearly defined. Keep this exact pet completely recognizable: the same pose, the same body proportions, the same fur colors and every unique marking, the same eye color and expression — all rendered in chalk pastel, never photographic. 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 or off-color — render with bright, even, flattering light and rich, well-balanced colors 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

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.
