Each character pack carries one of ten bundled looks (riso, blueprint, woodcut, pixel, clay, manila, chalk, phosphor, enamel, gouache) or a custom style — default Blot (a deadpan ink-drop), or design your own with the built-in character builder. One-metaphor-per-image scenes with named + custom + derived palettes and reference-image character consistency. Renders through three engine backends : your Codex CLI (gpt-image-2) or Grok CLI (xAI) on your subscription — free for subscribers, no API key — when one is installed and logged in, or OpenRouter (model-selectable: Grok Imagine, Nano Banana 2/Pro, GPT-5.4 Image 2, …) as a direct pay-per-image backend. In Grok Bot (Cursor's Grok Bot / the Grok desktop assistant), the skill uses Grok Bot's built-in Grok image tool agent-side instead of requiring the Grok CLI or OpenRouter, unless you explicitly choose an engine backend. Failed subscription CLI renders fail closed unless --allow-paid-fallback explicitly permits OpenRouter. Grok can't make transparent cutouts; those route automatically. Hand it \"we replatform with zero downtime\" and you get the bridge being rebuilt under live traffic: 🌐 illo-skill.com — live examples, the character gallery, and copy-paste installs.
