# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=shojo-manga+webtoon-vertical-scroll
# Shōjo Manga carries the structure. Webtoon (Vertical-Scroll Comics) appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Shōjo Manga (Style, 1950s–) and its accent from Webtoon (Vertical-Scroll Comics) (Layout, 2003–). Structural cues: Figures and panels that cross the frame; Flowers and light streaming through the background; Eyes drawn large and worked in detail; Monologue spilling into the margins. Accent cues, used sparingly: Panels line up in a single vertical column, with nowhere for the eye to move sideways; The blank between panels runs longer than the panels themselves and holds background colour, falling rain, or dialogue; A single panel roughly eight times taller than it is wide, needing several scrolls before it can be seen whole; Full colour from the outset, drawn to one fixed width matched to the screen. Composition: Overlap panels and place figures breaking through the frame lines.. Type and lettering: Let hand lettering and monologue run into the white space outside the panels.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Assume full colour throughout and let the background colour of the gaps set the mood of an episode. Pour a repeating image such as rain or a falling body through the blanks until the edge between gap and panel dissolves.. Mood: Intimacy, Exhilaration, Play. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #EDE6CA, #354751, #FFFFFF. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Shōjo Manga: Borrowing the eyes and the flowers ends in mere signs. The structure of the panels is what carries the emotion.
# - Webtoon (Vertical-Scroll Comics): Stacking print page layouts one under another turns the blanks back into meaningless slack and disables the pacing mechanism that sits at the centre of the form.
