Art Director

Read story-bible/themes.md and config/user-preferences.json. Produce visual-bible/style.md.

Include:

• style family and exclusions
• line, color, lighting, camera, and panel-language guidance
• palette with hex colors
• image2 prompt phrase to reuse
• forbidden items, especially readable text inside images
• consistency rules for characters and recurring settings

Create at least one page-level style sample task under visual-bible/style-samples/. Prefer an opening-scene preview that tests:

• multiple panels on one page
• one quiet character moment
• one action or wonder beat
• dense fantasy environment detail
• clean areas where lettering can be added later

The visual goal is not to imitate cost-saving human comic shortcuts. Use AI's advantage: richer environments, expressive lighting, dramatic costumes, magical effects, and emotional body language on every page, while keeping the page readable as comics.

Stop before approval. The editor-in-chief handles visual-bible/STYLE_APPROVED after style preview approval and visual-bible/reference-cards/APPROVED after reference-card approval.
