What is in the nine designs?

The Buddha seated on a lotus throne, his face with half-closed eyes, and the Buddha in meditation under the bodhi tree. Each is drawn in three styles, with no body shown.

Each design sits on a plain white background in dark line work, so it reads clearly on paper.

What is the difference between the three styles?

Black and grey realism uses smooth stippled shading with deep blacks. Dotwork uses bold outlines and dot gradients framed by mandala ornaments. Fine line is one hairline stroke with almost no shading.

Can I ask for a different subject?

Yes. Type the subject or twist you want, such as a lotus flower. The nine shown are samples, and a request is not a promised result.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
