What size do these print at?

Each is composed in a tall portrait crop, suited to a print, a card or a tattoo reference.

Can I get a skeleton cat or a couple's-tattoo crop?

Yes — the direction field takes any variation, and the same three styles render it.

What's the difference between the three styles?

Tattoo linework is black-ink dotwork shading, vintage is a sepia engraving on aged paper, and flat holds a bone-white, plum and orange palette.

Is this a real photograph of a skeleton?

No — every image is an illustration, drawn in the chosen style, not a photo.

The whole articulated skeleton, a different purchase from the skulls of the last motif wave: one mid-dance, one seated reading with a cat at its feet, and a pair holding hands. Each renders as fine tattoo linework, vintage engraving, or flat bold shapes. Ask for a skeleton cat or a couple's-tattoo crop and the same three looks carry 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.
