Portrait of a Pierson's Puppeteer alien: two horse-like heads on long flexible necks rising from a rounded, deep-chested body, three legs ending in tri-hooves, flowing golden mane running between and over both heads. Eyes on each head are large, forward-facing, utterly unreadable. One head is looking toward the viewer, the other is looking elsewhere — both simultaneously deliberate.

## Usage Notes
|
||||
## Notes for generation
|
||||
|
||||
- All images should be **black and white / monochrome** to match the 1984 paperback aesthetic
|
||||
- Add `--no colour, --no photorealistic, --no 3D render, --no digital art` to any that skew too polished
|
||||
- Target size: **42mm × 40mm print slot** (approximately 498×472px at 300dpi for print, or 630×600px at 150dpi for screen preview)
|
||||
- Each portrait should be **cropped to head and shoulders** for the character sheet slot
|
||||
- The finished art should feel like a **period illustration** — ink line art with pencil shading, not painted
|
||||
- All six should feel like they come from the **same artist** — use the same
|
||||
style words across all prompts for consistency
|
||||
- If a prompt skews too polished or digital, add:
|
||||
`--no photorealistic, --no CGI, --no digital art, --no 3D`
|
||||
- Target **black and white with grey wash** — not full-colour, not pure line
|
||||
- The final slot is **square (1:1)**, cropped at the shoulders or just below
|
||||
- Once generated, drop the six image files into the repo and the build script
|
||||
will pick them up from the paths in the character data dictionary
