Art styles
Sixty-plus looks for Apply Anime Style and Try a Style, from studio anime to watercolour to the classic manga masters — plus your own.
Style is not theme
Every style carries two things, kept apart on purpose:
- The style
- How the image is made. Line weight and character, the shading model, whether fills are flat or rendered, texture, staging. Identical on every panel of a film. This is what “art style” means.
- The grade
- What the light and colour are. A default palette and key that applies only to a panel Plan Art wrote no direction for. A panel with its own notes uses those instead.
The split exists because the alternative changes the story. A dark-action style that carried “cold blue-grey and blood-red, hard key light, crushed blacks” inside it turned a whole book dark and gritty, cheerful pages included. The same studio animates daylight school scenes and night fights in one style; only the grade moves.
The catalogue
Families in the picker, with a few of the entries in each:
- Studio anime — bright school, luminous, dark action, thriller, collage, classic mecha.
- Painted & storybook — Ghibli watercolour, painted 2D, storybook 3D, storybook fantasy.
- Ink & manga — comic ink, black-and-white manga, brush, gekiga, horror, baroque, clear-line, superhero.
- Donghua — ink wuxia, jade xianxia, urban clean.
- Stop-motion & clay — clay, stop-motion puppet.
Most entries carry a thumbnail; the rest show an icon until one is added.
Custom styles
Add your own: a style-only description (line, shading, fills, texture — never a subject, never a mood) and a guidance value. It appears in the picker beside the built-in ones and works everywhere they do.
Choosing one
- Open a cleaned panel and use Try a Style on a few candidates. One panel, in place, a GPU minute or so each.
- Pick one. Run Apply Anime Style on the whole Clean Up folder with it.
- Do not change style or settings between panels. Consistency matters more than any single panel: a panel styled unlike its neighbours becomes a keyframe, and the video model will animate the change.
