MEDIUM AND STYLE
Richly detailed storybook illustration, ink line work with watercolour and gouache, whimsical architecture and creatures, warm magical light. Fill the scene with many small characters and objects, each in its own colour, scattered across the whole canvas.
SCENE
Inside a vast underground library carved into the mountain, small, friendly dragons scurry about, assisting in the daily activities. The scene is bustling with dragons breathing small flames to warm the room, carrying books with their talons, and napping atop piles of scrolls. Young wizards, clad in robes, are engrossed in study at long wooden tables. Above them, a mesmerizing domed ceiling is painted with stars, adding a celestial quality to the cavernous room. Every corner teems with bookshelves, ancient tomes, and glowing lanterns suspended in mid-air. Focal point: A young wizard stands at a long table in the center, looking up at the starry dome. Foreground: Piles of scrolls and open books scattered around, with a dragon curled up napping on one pile. Nearby, a lantern glows warmly, casting vibrant patterns on the stone floor. Midground: Busy dragons flit between towering wooden bookshelves, fetching tomes. Wizards, some standing and some seated at tables, are engrossed in study with scrolls and quills. Background: The domed ceiling, meticulously painted with intricate star patterns, looms overhead. Bookshelves, filled from floor to ceiling with leather-bound volumes, line the curved stone walls. Lighting: Soft, warm light emanates from dragons' gentle flames and hanging lanterns. The ceiling reflects a cool blue from painted stars, mimicking twilight. Colour zones: fern green #4a7c59 for stone walls; royal amethyst #6c4675 for wizard robes; golden amber #ffbf36 for flame light; nocturnal sapphire #1c3b5a for ceiling stars; rosewood #cd9777 for bookshelves; mystic emerald #2b6e47 for dragon scales. Small hidden details spread across different areas: A tiny hourglass hidden on a shelf; A dragon holding an ancient map in its mouth; A forgotten wand lying on a table; A quill floating in mid-air; Spectacles on the snout of a studious dragon.
FORMAT
Portrait format 3:4 (2304×3072). Vertical composition: foreground, midground and background stacked from bottom to top, with interest reaching the top edge.
PUZZLE CALIBRATION
The picture will be cut into about 165 pieces (11 columns by 15 rows). A clear focal point surrounded by many secondary details; medium-sized colour regions, each with its own texture; a recognisable object or pattern fragment in every piece-sized area.
PUZZLE CRAFT (house rules)
Original artwork made to be printed and cut into a premium jigsaw puzzle. Edge-to-edge composition: the scene fills the whole canvas, corners and borders included, with real content in all four corners because players start with the edge pieces. Even distribution of interest: there is something to recognise in every area of the picture, with no large empty or uniform zone (no plain sky, flat water, blank wall or smooth gradient covering more than a small part of the image). Clear colour zoning: five to eight distinct colour families laid out in readable regions, so players can sort pieces into piles by colour. Inside each colour region, varied textures and small details (brick, foliage, fabric, ripples, patterns) so two pieces of the same colour still look different. Full tonal range with strong local contrast between neighbouring shapes; deep shadows keep detail and highlights never blow out. Everything in sharp focus from the foreground to the horizon: no depth-of-field blur, no bokeh, no motion blur, no haze or fog veils. Rich, saturated but print-safe colour, balanced warm and cool tones, even lighting that keeps every area legible. Layered depth: a detailed foreground, a lively midground and a structured background stacked through the frame. Small hidden stories and discoverable details spread across the canvas, rewarding a close look.
AVOID
text, letters, numbers, captions, signature, watermark, logo, brand names, frame or border, vignette, puzzle-piece outlines drawn on the image, collage or split panels, large empty areas, blur or bokeh, heavy film grain or noise, distorted anatomy, real people or celebrities, trademarked characters.
