Create a high-resolution vertical 9:16 triptych studio artwork showing one handmade cardboard retro-futurist sports coupe sculpture as a polished gallery presentation.
INTENDED USE
A gallery-ready documentation image celebrating craftsmanship, mechanical imagination, and the transformation of corrugated cardboard into a detailed cinematic vehicle sculpture.
MAIN SUBJECT
Show exactly one original, non-branded retro-futurist wedge-shaped sports coupe built entirely from kraft cardboard and corrugated paper. The vehicle should feel inspired by 1980s futuristic sports-car design without reproducing any identifiable branded automobile, film prop, logo, badge, or proprietary body geometry.
Give the car a low angular body, sloped nose, sharply faceted doors, a flat roofline, deep side windows, turbine-style wheels, flared wheel arches, layered bumpers, and a dense rear mechanical zone with vents, ducts, tubing, and stacked fin-like structures. Keep the design coherent, handcrafted, and physically buildable from cardboard.
LAYOUT
Present the vehicle in exactly three stacked horizontal panels within one vertical composition, separated by thin clean white dividers. Use a seamless dark charcoal-to-black studio background across all three panels.
TOP PANEL
Show a full-car hero view in left-facing side three-quarter perspective. The entire vehicle should be visible from nose to rear assembly, slightly angled so the front-left corner is more visible than the far side. Emphasize the long wedge silhouette, full wheel design, door geometry, roofline, and overall mechanical profile.
MIDDLE PANEL
Show a closer front-left detail view. Lift one front storage hatch upward to reveal a simplified internal compartment. Keep the windshield, dashboard, steering wheel, front seat shapes, side mirror, and door contour visible. Make the interior and hatch construction clearly handcrafted from layered cardboard.
BOTTOM PANEL
Show a closer rear-right detail view. Focus on the exposed mechanical assembly behind the cabin, including layered tubing, vent blocks, circular components, fins, and panel edges. Keep the rear wheel, tail structure, and surrounding bodywork visible so the rear engineering reads as dense and inventive.
MATERIALS AND CRAFT
Construct everything from natural kraft cardboard, chipboard, and corrugated paper. Show visible fluted edges, layered thickness, die-cut contours, scored folds, glued seams, stacked rings in the wheels, hand-cut apertures, slightly uneven craftsmanship, and subtle handmade imperfections. Differentiate smoother flat cardboard body panels from rougher exposed corrugated sections.
COMPOSITION
Use a clean editorial triptych layout with strong breathing room around the vehicle in each panel. Keep the top panel as the broad overview, the middle panel as the cabin/front-compartment detail, and the bottom panel as the rear-mechanical detail. Preserve consistent scale logic and lighting across all three panels.
CAMERA AND STYLE
Use professional studio photography realism with a 70–100mm lens look. Keep the sculpture sharp and highly legible, with crisp edges, strong material clarity, and controlled perspective. Avoid distortion. Make the car feel like a carefully photographed physical sculpture on a dark stage.
LIGHTING
Use warm diffused studio lighting from the upper left with soft frontal fill and subtle shadow falloff into the black background. Preserve clean highlights along the cardboard edges, readable panel seams, open shadows under the vehicle, and delicate depth in the wheel spokes and rear mechanical parts. Keep the exposure warm, rich, and gallery-polished.
COLOR
Use kraft tan #C69A63 as the dominant cardboard tone, light cardboard beige #D8B07A for highlighted surfaces, corrugated brown #8E6645 for exposed fluting and recessed layers, shadow umber #5D4533 for deep seams and underside areas, and charcoal black #171413 for the seamless background. Use thin divider white #F3F1EC between the three stacked panels.
STYLE AND MOOD
Create a warm, inventive, tactile presentation that feels equal parts sculpture, prop design, and handcrafted automotive study. The result should feel meticulous, nostalgic, mechanically playful, and sophisticated rather than toy-like or cartoonish.
PRESERVE
Exactly one vehicle sculpture, exactly three stacked panels, one dark studio background, and one cardboard-only construction language. Preserve the wedge-shaped silhouette, the full-car top view, the open front-compartment middle detail, and the exposed rear-mechanical lower detail.
TEXT AND IDENTITY
No readable text, letters, numbers, logos, car badges, license plates, signatures, watermarks, creator marks, or branding. Remove any visible hand or unrelated human presence from the source reference.
CONSTRAINTS
No extra cars, people, hands, tools, workshop clutter, tables, display stands, road scenery, colored paint, metallic materials, plastic surfaces, broken geometry, warped wheels, floating parts, inconsistent panel gaps, muddy exposure, harsh reflections, excessive blur, or accidental typography.
OUTPUT
One clean high-resolution vertical triptych image with three stacked studio views, realistic cardboard textures, coherent mechanical detailing, and a polished gallery-ready finish.
