INKMAN VISUAL STYLE (mandatory for every generated image):

VIBE: sophisticated editorial illustration (New Yorker / Jean Jullien / Christoph
Niemann). Minimal, clean, slightly ironic, grown-up audience. NEVER kiddy cartoon.

LINE & STROKE:
• Single uniform black outline, medium-bold (3-4 px equivalent)
• Hand-drawn confident ink lines with subtle natural imperfection (not robotic vector)
• No inner shading, no gradient, no crosshatching, no stipple

COLOR PALETTE (muted editorial — NOT candy pastels):
• Ink black #1A1A1A (outlines)
• Dusty teal #6FA8A0
• Burnt orange #D97A4E
• Muted mustard #C7A64B
• Slate blue #5D7BA0
• Soft clay #C97B78
• Paper cream background #FAF7F1 (not pure white, slight warmth)
• Deep burgundy #7A2B3C (accent, used sparingly)

CHARACTER ANATOMY:
• Elongated torso (taller than wide), stick limbs with subtle hand indication
• Head: small oval, 1/4 to 1/5 of total body height (NOT chibi)
• Eyes: two small black dots with a minimal eyebrow line above (expression)
• Mouth: a single small line — neutral, subtle smirk, or subtle frown
• Posture: relaxed, confident, casual — never bouncy or overly cute
• Single identity trait per character (glasses, scarf, bandana, beard line, hair…)

POSE & FRAMING:
• Front view, centered, head-to-feet
• Feet flat, no ground line
• Arms in natural adult positions (pockets, crossed, holding mug, etc.)

NEVER:
• No shadows, no rim-light, no glow, no texture, no lighting effects
• No speech bubbles, no logos, no watermark, no UI elements
• No scene decor when the image is a character reference (only paper cream)
• No chibi/kawaii proportions, no sparkles, no cute stylization

CONSISTENCY RULES:
• Head/body ratio identical across all characters (1:4 or 1:5)
• Same line thickness everywhere
• Palette locked to the 7 colors above + black + cream background

• ✅ Génération de chaque acteur du roster (Gemini Image Edit + ref chaîne)
• ✅ Génération de chaque keyframe de vidéo (même moteur, même guide)
• ✅ Génération des thumbnails (à venir)
• ℹ️ Les clips Seedance héritent du style via les keyframes (first_frame_image + last_frame_image)
