## About

# Xiaohei Article Illustrator

Designed, integrated, independently refactored, and continuously maintained by **TIKAZ**.

## TIKAZ Edition

- Type: original art-direction workflow; no reference images or generator-specific assets are bundled.
- TIKAZ contribution: thesis-to-shot translation, metaphor selection, character role limits, label budget, accessibility text, and consistency QA.

## Workflow

1. Extract the article's single message, audience, publishing ratio, and what the image must explain rather than decorate.
2. Choose one mechanism or metaphor and write a shot card: message, scene, composition, character action, labels, palette, forbidden elements, and alt text.
3. Use a mostly white hand-drawn field, one small dark character as guide rather than mascot wallpaper, and sparse red/orange/blue annotations only where they clarify causality.
4. Keep Chinese labels short and verified. Avoid large title text unless requested.
5. Generate or draw with the tool available in the user's environment; do not assume a particular image provider.
6. Review at publishing size for message recognition, text accuracy, hierarchy, cropping, character consistency, and accessible alternative text.

Do not imitate a living artist or copy an upstream example image. Translate desired qualities into composition, line, palette, and narrative constraints.
