Retro indie comic illustration: ink-led zine texture, limited muted color separation, clear-line/cross-hatched forms, paper grain, and mildly surreal deadpan narrative framing.
SREF Brief
Visual Style
Retro indie comic panels with muted risograph-like color, crisp ink lines, paper grain, and slight color misregistration.
Best For
Zine-style character scenes, quiet civic objects, neighborhood kiosks, transit details, and gently surreal everyday storytelling.
Prompt Tips
Use one clear subject, a small public or domestic setting, restrained blue-cream-pink-orange color, ink linework, blank signage, paper texture, and a simple visible relationship. Avoid photo, 3D, cinematic, glossy product-still, and crowded scene language.
