Eerie Shadow
Redraw the person in an uploaded photo as a supernatural-horror manga portrait,
most of the frame lost in shadow.
Roadmap preview. This package is shown in the catalog but is not yet
attached to the agent (runnable: false). It has no generation mode or prompt
branch wired, so the agent should not try to run it; it documents the intended
skill so covers and wiring can follow.
When this is the right skill
Pick this when someone wants themselves in a spooky, shadowy supernatural
manga look — heavy black ink, screentone, one highlight carrying the shot,
tense and eerie rather than gory.
Choose a different skill instead when the user asks for:
- a stealth/rooftop action look →
ninja-village
- a neon-lit night city →
neon-city
- themselves with a giant robot →
mecha-pilot
- the house marker-and-ink doodle look →
doodle-avatar
- several styles at once →
style-roll
The naming rule (not optional)
Name the genre and the look, never a series, studio, artist or character —
in the prompt, in what you say to the user, anywhere. Upstream image models
refuse many named-character prompts, so the skill would fail at random and read
as our bug; and a specific character’s likeness is a derivative of a protected
character, which is the actual legal exposure. “Supernatural-horror manga” gets
the recognition without it.
If the user names a show, that is fine. Do not carry the name into the
generation — answer with the genre wording instead.
What to draw
- The same person: hairstyle, hair colour, face shape, skin tone, freckles,
glasses, facial hair all preserved. Full anime proportions, not chibi.
- Anime facial grammar: eyes drawn with one sharp carrying catchlight, a small
simplified nose, a still tense mouth.
- Heavy solid black ink masses, high-contrast crosshatching and screentone
stipple for the mid-greys, most of the frame in near-silhouette so one
highlight does the work.
- A near-monochrome palette — deep blacks against paper white, at most one
restrained cold accent — with empty white negative space held as tense silence
against the dense blacks.
- A low-key ominous close-up half-lost in shadow; line favours form over detail,
jagged and weighty where it shows.
- Keep it eerie and tense, never gory — no blood, wounds or graphic content.
How to run it
While this package is a roadmap preview it is not runnable — there is no
eerie generation mode or prompt branch, so do not call generateDoodle with
it. When it graduates to runnable it will follow the same shape as the other
anime stills: confirm a photo is attached, then call generateDoodle with the
photo as imageUrl and any mood or accent-colour notes as description,
returning ONE image.
Following up
Offer one next step — the same person as a stealth warrior (ninja-village), on
a neon night street (neon-city), or as a giant-robot pilot (mecha-pilot).
