16:9 landscape left–right samples

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 071 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 either trace the whole scene until it feels crowded or merely soften it with a filter, losing both the relationship worth remembering and the narrative power of empty space.

Panel 071 reduces the subject, pose, and narrative relationship to a few soft, slightly naive forms and colour fields. Pastel, pastel crayon, water-soluble coloured pencil, and thin gouache leave rubbed edges, exposed paper, overlapping colour, and deliberate pauses. Elements float and answer one another like fragments of memory on a near-white page; fine handwritten poetry crosses the space with pressure changes and a drifting baseline instead of entering a title template.

Best for

• preserving recognisable identity and relationships without redrawing the whole scene;
• tactile softness without falling into children's-cartoon styling;
• poetic copy that grows from action, sound, feeling, or metaphor and becomes part of the composition;
• top-bottom, left-right, design-only, multi-ratio, wallpaper, and directory-batch delivery.

Quick start

Use XXD Panel 071 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 light pastel memory on near-white paper: gentle, bright, slightly innocent, and mature in editorial structure | | Recognisable signature | A few naive forms floating in large open space, powdery rubbed media and exposed paper, with fine handwriting moving through the image | | How it respects the source | Identity, pose, and narrative relationships remain recognisable; only the source's most vital, emotionally representative colours are softened and purified | | 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-071.git
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills
ln -s "$(pwd)/xxd-panel-071" ~/.codex/skills/xxd-panel-071

You can also install it directly with npx skills:

npx skills add https://github.com/nevertoday/xxd-panel-071 --skill xxd-panel-071

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-071. Restart the agent session after installation.
