Type: custom, tested in production (pass; reviewer note: "incredible")
- Medium phrase: "Pure transparent watercolour painting on white cold-pressed paper, widescreen 16:9, with no ink line and no pencil line anywhere." Video anchor: "Pure transparent watercolour animation on white cold-pressed paper, no ink or pencil line anywhere: wet-into-wet blooms, granulation, hard dried edges and bare white paper for the lights, washes that stay settled while the subject glides in a gentle stepped painted cadence, painted, not rendered."
- Character design: every shape made only by the edge of a wash; white areas are bare untouched paper with the faintest shadow wash; eyes a single dot; fins and soft parts as the palest dilute colour fading into the ground.
- Materials / rendering: cold-pressed paper texture, cauliflower blooms where washes met, pigment granulation, crisp hard dried edges where washes overlapped, lifted bare-paper highlights, a few spatters. Distinct from the Watercolor preset, which adds ink line.
- Light: soft diffuse daylight read only as bare paper against darker washes.
- Motion: the gentlest beats: a koi gliding, a tail sweep, a ripple ring opening; camera locked.
- Stability line: "Strictly pure transparent watercolour on white cold-pressed paper, no ink or pencil line anywhere, no opaque or white paint, washes that remain settled and do not boil, bloom anew or crawl, paper texture and granulation visible throughout, consistent painting of the subject."
- Guards: no ink, no pencil, no outlines, no opaque paint, no white paint, no gouache, no photographic subject, no digital gradients, no photorealism, no 3D rendering, no live-action look.
- Known failures: none in the test take (koi under lily pads). The explicit negatives against ink and pencil matter: without them the model reaches for the preset's ink-lined look.
