What size do these print at?

Each take varies the composition and framing while keeping the same shadow-heavy noir look.

Film noir art: detective, street, femme fatale

Noir — a man in a fedora and a loosened tie behind a desk in a dark office, venetian-blind shadows striping his face and the wall, a glass and a half-empty bottle, smoke curling from an ashtray through the bright shaft cutting the room, a frosted door with a silhouette behind it, as a black-and-white film still, deep blacks, venetian shadow across everything and fine film grain

Reading 1The office

Reading 2Rainy street

Reading 3Femme fatale

Film noir is shadow as narrative: venetian-blind light, a wet street, a cigarette's smoke in a shaft of light. These nine renders carry that register across three scenes — the detective's office, the rainy street, the femme fatale. Ask for a different scene and the same black-and-white crime mood carries it.

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.
