A traditional Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print, Edo-period printmaking. Each reference picture has exactly one job:
Image 3 (wave print) = STYLE. This is the most important job: everything, including the creature, is carved and printed like this wave print: flat colour areas, bold black outlines, stylised curling linework, scales drawn as repeating carved patterns, wood grain and aged washi paper texture. Nothing photographic. Do not include the boats or mountain.
Image 5 (colour swatch) = PALETTE, strictly. The whole print uses only these inks: deep indigo, Prussian blue, vermilion red and cream white (pale ochre allowed for paper tone). No green anywhere. The gecko is Prussian blue and indigo with vermilion spots and a cream belly.
Image 1 (gecko) = STAR. Use only the idea of a gecko: a colossal stylised gecko-kaiju, reinterpreted as a mythical creature like a dragon in old prints, with curling toes and a coiled tail, towering over the city and clinging to a building. Do not copy the photo's pose, lighting, colours or realism.
Image 2 (city crossing) = STAGE. The huge scramble crossing with a crowd and tall buildings, redrawn as woodblock architecture. The big billboards on the buildings each show a traditional woodblock motif: curling waves, swirling clouds, flying cranes, or a plain indigo panel with cream grid lines. No swoosh shapes, no split circles, no logos, no text anywhere.
Image 4 (storyboard sketch) = ANGLE only. Extreme worm's-eye view looking up from the street at the giant creature, strong converging lines. Do not include the lighthouse.
Wide composition. No text, no writing, no logos, no seals.
