Separate technique, treatment and subject
Gundam, painterly and classical describe different dimensions.
Subject describes the object
Mecha and devotional sculpture describe subjects. They help place armor, skin, drapery and ornament.
Separate technique from appearance
Flat coats, dry brushing and glazing describe methods. Cel shading, painterly marks and realism describe visual goals. Painterly appearance does not require a thick physical paint film.
Add an art direction
Classical, porcelain, industrial and pop directions can cross subjects. Fix one or two dimensions and let AI explore the rest so that alternatives are easier to compare.
