Custom Style Items

Layering logic

Use overlapping semi-transparent blobs; intersections create darker mixed regions; avoid gradients.

Edge signature

Blobs have scuffed, dry-brush borders with visible bristle breakup; interiors mostly flat.

Line motif

Thin black vertical/horizontal rules like a loose grid; occasional small square/rect markers on the lines.

Accent punctuation

Small circular dots (black + one warm red/orange) used as rhythmic counterpoints to large forms.
