Sample gallery

16:9 landscape left–right samples

| sample-05 | sample-06 | |---|---| | | | | | |

3:4 portrait top–bottom samples

| sample-09 | sample-10 | |---|---| | | | | | |

No verifiable original-X samples or provenance have been supplied, so sample-01–sample-04 are not displayed. The eight works above comprise four 16:9 landscape left–right samples and four 3:4 portrait top–bottom samples. Every work was generated independently by Panel 069 from its own original brief; no artwork from another numbered Panel is reused. The samples use intelligent English copy.

What it solves

Many photo-to-illustration workflows collapse into a soft watercolour blot: the result looks lighter, but the subject is merely placed inside a decorative mask and the brushwork, whitespace, and typography do not meaningfully interact.

Panel 069 builds a different relationship. A real broad-brush window establishes direction and editorial structure; fine hand-drawn contours preserve identity; selected impasto and the source's most vital colours keep the work alive. Defining forms may cross beyond the brush boundary, binding painted mass, whitespace, subject, and copy into one art direction.

Best for

• recognisable people, architecture, animals, plants, objects, vehicles, and landscapes;
• vivid, restorative colour without dirty filters or cheap candy saturation;
• editorial layouts where broad paint, bright space, boundary crossings, and sparse type share one rhythm;
• top-bottom, left-right, design-only, multi-ratio, wallpaper, and directory-batch delivery.

Quick start

Use XXD Panel 069 on this image and recommend the most suitable composition and size first.

Quick fit check

| What you need to know | What this style gives you | |---|---| | What you get | A bright editorial artwork organised by broad colour masses and fine hand-drawn lines | | Recognisable signature | An irregular window visibly brushed with a large tool, with the subject emerging from and crossing its edges | | How it respects the source | Identity, pose, and key relationships remain recognisable; colour is remixed from the photograph's most vital hues rather than an outer fixed palette | | Where it works | Art posters, covers, social content, design-only art, multiple ratios, and four-device wallpaper sets | <!-- xxd-panel-benefit:end -->

Usage tips

• Start with one clear photo: choose a source whose subject, action, and relationships are easy to recognize before choosing the delivery format.
• Join the parameters in one sentence: say “top-bottom / left-right / design-only + 16:9 / 3:4 / phone wallpaper”; you can also name desktop, tablet, or smartwatch sizes.
• State what must stay: identify the people, objects, actions, relationships, and copy to preserve, while leaving room for the style to design the layout.
• Choose a text mode: let the model write from the image, lock exact wording with --text exact --copy, or remove text completely with --text none.
• Clarify reality and design regions: for top-bottom or left-right, say which region keeps the photograph and which region is redesigned; for design-only and wallpapers, say that the whole canvas is redesigned.
• Test one image before batching: confirm mode, ratio, text, and language on one source, then reuse the settings for a folder; change one variable per iteration.

Get started

git clone https://github.com/nevertoday/xxd-panel-069.git
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills
ln -s "$(pwd)/xxd-panel-069" ~/.codex/skills/xxd-panel-069

You can also install it directly with npx skills:

npx skills add https://github.com/nevertoday/xxd-panel-069 --skill xxd-panel-069

The command fetches the repository from GitHub and installs the same-named Skill for the current agent. To install it in the user-level Codex Skills directory, append --global --agent codex --yes.

Claude Code users may link the same folder under ~/.claude/skills/xxd-panel-069. Restart the agent session after installation.

$xxd-panel-069
Use this photograph, ask me for the modes and copy setting, then generate fresh raster outputs.
