## About this style

Painted wooden pieces connect through joints, hinges and thin strings, making movement mechanically imaginable. Wood grain, seams and stage shadows stay visible rather than becoming a jointless plastic figure.

Marionettes depend on articulated parts, string tension and gravity.

A visible elbow gap, taut upward string and toe touching the stage can make a puppet's pose mechanically understandable.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Painted wooden segments, joints and strings turn the figure into an articulated puppet.

- **Landscape**: Wooden scenery and stage shadows give buildings and plants a small-theater character.

- **Object**: Movable wooden parts replace objects, emphasizing seams and connections.

**Subjects**: Choose full figures, animals, toys or compact scenes with separated limbs and readable poses.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Construct the entire image in the language of a hand-painted articulated wooden theater. Divide existing forms into recognizable carved segments connected by small pivots, hinges or ball joints, with fine taut suspension threads attached to actual movement points. Show carving marks, gently worn paint and shadows between components. Preserve continuous overall contours while giving every spatial element a clear, functional logic of articulation.
