1. Character Prompt
Draw this – Medium close-up of a stylized 3D sculpture, female figure, portrait orientation, looking upwards and right with a contemplative gaze. Features an elongated, angular face with large, stark white eyes, small nose, and full, slightly parted red lips revealing sharp teeth. The skin is a light cream base, heavily overlaid with a cracked, distressed patchwork of blue, yellow, orange, light green, and white segments, all defined by thick black outlines. The body has a grid of black lines and large red polka dots, with a low to medium gloss material light response. She wears a multi-colored, feather-like headdress (red, yellow, orange, blue, cream) and dark blue, structured hair flowing down. Set in a softly lit, modern architectural indoor background with blurred glass windows and stone pillars, creating a mysterious and artistic atmosphere.
2. World/Landscape Prompt
A spacious, modern art gallery interior, softly lit from above, featuring large, architectural forms with subtle, muted beige and gray tones. The walls, pillars, and floor adopt a cracked, distressed cream base texture with thick black outlines defining segmented sections. Strategic areas feature large, prominent red polka dots, mimicking the sculpture’s body markings. Display pedestals and structural elements are painted with a patchwork of desaturated blues, yellows, oranges, and light greens, outlined in black, creating a graphic, stylized aesthetic similar to the figure’s facial and headdress patterns. Architectural lighting creates soft shadows and highlights on the textured surfaces, enhancing the artistic and contemplative mood. The overall material response is a low to medium gloss, reflecting ambient light. The space evokes a mysterious, artistic, and culturally rich atmosphere.

Skin Tone
Base appears as a light, desaturated beige/cream, but is heavily obscured by a heavily cracked, distressed, and segmented painted texture, giving a weathered, mosaic-like quality. Low to medium gloss with subtle sheen; no natural pores, only intentional crack textures.

Rendering Style
Thick, prominent black outlines define all forms, features, and color patches. Cell shading/flat coloring within outlined areas with subtle gradients for form definition. Fine black lines render deliberate ‘cracks’ and ‘chips’ over painted surfaces.
