Blotcat Quirky Body Illustrations
Generate 16:9 horizontal body text illustrations for English articles. Turns key judgments, workflows, structures, states, and metaphors into clean, hand-drawn explanatory images featuring Blotcat — a deadpan solid-black cat who seriously performs absurd but valid tasks.
Visual Identity
- Blotcat: Solid-black cat, white dot eyes, pointed ears, stick limbs. Always the core action subject — never a decoration.
- Style: Pure white background, black hand-drawn line art (slightly wobbly), abundant white space (~35%+), sparse handwritten English annotations in red/orange/blue.
- Format: 16:9 horizontal, one structure per image.
- Color logic: Black (main line art), orange (flow/paths/arrows), red (warnings/problems/results), blue (supplementary notes/system state).
- No: PPT infographics, flowcharts, cute cartoons, commercial illustrations, gradients, shadows, textures, or top-left titles.

Shot List Only (Strategy-First)
Use $blotcat-illustrations do not generate images yet.
Please analyze where this article is worth illustrating, and output a shot list of about 5 images.
For each image clearly write:
- After which paragraph it is placed
- Theme of the image
- Core meaning
- Structure type
- What Blotcat is doing in the image
- Suggested elements
- Suggested English annotation words
Generate Full Article Illustrations
Use $blotcat-illustrations to generate 4 Blotcat quirky body text illustrations for the following article.
Requirements: 16:9 horizontal, pure white background, black hand-drawn line art, sparse red/orange/blue handwritten English annotations.
Each image should only explain one core structure, no PPT infographics, no cute cartoons.
Single Idea Illustration
Use $blotcat-illustrations to generate a 16:9 body text illustration for this viewpoint:
Trust is not shouted out, but paved piece by piece with evidence.
The visual should be quirky but clean, Blotcat must perform the core action.
English annotations at most 5, keep them short.
Edit Existing Image
Use $blotcat-illustrations to help me edit this image.
Remove the "Workflow / Flowchart" title and underline in the top left corner, keep other content unchanged.
Do not add any new text or objects.
Structure Types
Choose one per image. Do not mix.
| Type | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Workflow | Input → Processing → Output, AI workflows, automation chains |
| System Partial | Information sources, filters, databases, agent components |
| Before & After | Chaos/Order, Manual/Automatic, Anxiety/Stability |
| Character State | User pain points, tool overload, information anxiety |
| Conceptual Metaphor | Content factories, information warehouses, brain black boxes |
| Method Layering | Methodology frameworks, skill stacks, content system layers |
| Map Route | Idea to launch, user paths, handoff paths, learning roadmaps |
| Comic Panels | Failure to success, real processes, before/after use |

Quality Checklist
Before delivering, verify:
- [ ] 16:9 horizontal, pure white background
- [ ] Blotcat performs the core action (not decoration)
- [ ] New metaphor for this article (not copied from examples)
- [ ] Subject occupies ~40-60% of canvas, >=35% white space
- [ ] One image = one core structure
- [ ] Target 3-5 short handwritten labels; never exceed 8
- [ ] No top-left title like “Workflow / System Architecture”
- [ ] Not PPT-like, not a formal flowchart, not cute
- [ ] Orange for flow only, red for problems/results, blue for notes
Failing any of these: regenerate or locally edit.
Iteration Guide
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Too generic | Make Blotcat the action subject; add a strange but valid metaphor |
| Too complex | Delete nodes; keep one action and 3-5 annotations |
| Too cute | Emphasize deadpan, blank expression, not mascot-like |
| Too PPT-like | Remove titles, borders, neat grids, excessive arrows |
| Too similar to examples | Keep meaning, change main object and Blotcat’s action |
| Text errors | Locally edit, or regenerate with fewer labels |
