Examples

Everything below came out of the skill — no manual editing. One idea per image, the character doing the work, three labels max.

the flagship move

An article, illustrated

Hand illo a post about shipping discipline and it pulls the load-bearing moments — then renders one scene per moment, ready to interleave through your prose.

Scope creep: a leaning tower of crates
“scope creep has a smell”
Many inputs become one decision
“many inputs, one decision”
Replatform with zero downtime: rebuilding the bridge under live traffic
“replatform with zero downtime”

One character, one palette across the whole set — so the article reads as one voice.

when the idea moves through stages

Mini-comics

Three-panel woodcut mini-comic: stuck, slice, shipped

A process, a before→after, a fail→fix — told in 2–4 panels inside a single image. The same character and key object carry through every panel, so it reads as one moment advancing.

the best shape for social posts

wherever it's headed

Any aspect ratio

Wide 16:9 for articles and headers, square for social cards, 9:16 and 4:5 for vertical feeds — say where it's going and illo sizes the scene to fit.

1:1 scene: stacking small wins

Palettes that match your site

Named presets, palettes extracted from your blog's theme, or a full palette derived from a single hex — the scenes below came from “make it emerald” and “make it royal purple”.
