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.
