What it does

Stylized Style is an agent skill from arjun988/blender-skills. Stylized art direction for Blender with shape language, exaggeration, color harmony, NPR rendering, and hand-painted asset workflows. Use for non-photorealistic game and animation projects.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/npr-shaders.md` and `references/palette-examples.md`).

It sits in Game Development. It works with Blender. The repository describes itself as: 94 specialist Blender skills for Cursor, Claude Code, Kiro & Codex - MCP-powered production pipeline from blockout to engine export. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Non-photorealistic game and animation projects

Example prompts

  • “/stylized-style”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Shape language — Circles=friendly, squares=stable, triangles=danger
  2. Exaggeration — Push proportions beyond realistic
  3. Color harmony — Limited palette; intentional accent colors
  4. Silhouette clarity — Strong readable shapes
  5. Detail in texture — Not micro-geometry

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8f778d2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Stylized Style loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 392 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Stylized Style Specialist

Deliberate shape language. Exaggerated proportions. Color harmony. NPR rendering.

When to Use

  • Non-photorealistic games
  • Hand-painted texture workflows
  • Animated/stylized characters
  • Fantasy environments with art direction
  • Toon/cel-shaded rendering

Core Principles

  1. Shape language — Circles=friendly, squares=stable, triangles=danger
  2. Exaggeration — Push proportions beyond realistic
  3. Color harmony — Limited palette; intentional accent colors
  4. Silhouette clarity — Strong readable shapes
  5. Detail in texture — Not micro-geometry

Shape Language

ShapeAssociationUse
Circle/OvalFriendly, approachableHeroes, cute creatures
Square/RectangleStable, reliableArchitecture, guards
TriangleDynamic, dangerousVillains, spikes, roofs

Combine shapes consistently per character/faction.

Proportion Exaggeration

FeatureStylized Approach
Head25–40% of height (chibi to semi-realistic)
HandsLarger for expressiveness
EyesEnlarged for emotion
LimbsTapered; simplified joints
WeaponsOversized for readability

Color Harmony

Triadic: Three equidistant hues — vibrant, balanced Complementary: Opposite hues — high contrast accents Analogous: Adjacent hues — harmonious environments

Rules:

  • Limit palette to 3–5 core colors + neutrals
  • Reserve saturated accents for interactive elements
  • Desaturate backgrounds; saturate foreground subjects

Material Approach

  • Hand-painted albedo priority over PBR accuracy
  • Flat or stepped roughness (not continuous PBR)
  • Rim lighting built into texture (not just shader)
  • Subsurface on skin: exaggerated warm tones
  • No photoreal micro-detail

NPR Rendering

Coordinate with rendering skill:

  • Toon BSDF or Shader to RGB setups
  • Stepped lighting (2–3 bands)
  • Outline pass: inverted hull or Freestyle
  • Bloom on emissive accents
  • Flat ambient forbidden — maintain form readability

Hand-Painted Texture Workflow

1. Flat base color blocks
2. Define light/shadow shapes (not gradients from bake)
3. Edge highlights (warm) and shadows (cool)
4. Detail pass: minimal; suggestive not literal
5. Ambient occlusion painted, not baked

Character Stylization

  • Simplified anatomy; avoid uncanny valley
  • Hair as solid shapes or card clusters
  • Clothing folds: painted, not simulated
  • Facial features: large eyes, small nose (style dependent)

Environment Stylization

  • Exaggerated verticality in forests/mountains
  • Architecture: oversized elements (doors, windows)
  • Vegetation: puff/cloud shapes (not botanical accuracy)
  • Water: stylized foam patterns

MCP Integration

  1. Block exaggerated proportions via MCP
  2. Assign stylized materials via MCP
  3. Configure NPR render settings via MCP
  4. Validate silhouette with flat shading via MCP
  5. Limit geometry detail per stylized budgets

Constraints

MUST DO
  • Define shape language per asset/faction
  • Maintain color palette consistency
  • Exaggerate intentionally, not accidentally
  • Paint detail in textures
  • Test NPR render early
MUST NOT DO
  • Mix photoreal PBR with stylized shapes without intent
  • Micro-detail geometry (use texture)
  • Realistic proportions unless semi-stylized target
  • Full PBR roughness accuracy
  • Skip outline/rim if NPR project requires
