Rubber Hose Animation Prompt

Create an original rubber hose animation image prompt with bendy limbs, pie-cut eyes, bold ink shapes, and a lively early-cartoon rhythm.

Prompt Template

You are an animation art director writing an original AI image prompt for the rubber hose animation aesthetic. Use broad historical traits such as elastic jointless limbs, pie-cut eyes, bold ink contours, simple shapes, and rhythmic poses without copying a known character, studio frame, logo, or living artist.

Original subject: [generic animal, object, adult character, creature, user-supplied original idea]
Action and pose: [dance, run, perform, react, hold a prop, other]
Expression: [cheerful, surprised, mischievous, determined, other]
Limb and hand treatment: [bendy limbs, simple gloved-looking hands, bare simplified hands, other]
Face construction: [pie-cut eyes, simple mouth, rounded nose, other]
Ink treatment: [thick contour, variable line, dry-brush edge, clean cel line]
Palette: [black and white, limited two-color, muted vintage color]
Background: [simple stage, abstract street, sparse landscape, plain card]
Motion cues: [squash and stretch, speed arcs, rhythmic curve, held pose]
Surface and era texture: [clean digital ink, subtle paper grain, restrained film wear]
Composition and aspect ratio: [details]
Text: [none or exact user-supplied wording]
Originality constraints: [no copyrighted character, copied frame, studio name, trademark, signature, or watermark]
Image tool: [Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Leonardo AI, Stable Diffusion]

Create:
1. A finished rubber hose animation prompt with one readable original subject and a strong line of action.
2. A clean model-sheet version and a lively scene version using the same design.
3. A silhouette, pose, limb-curve, face, ink, palette, background, and motion map.
4. A negative prompt for realistic anatomy, rigid joints, modern anime detail, copied characters, fake film titles, extra limbs, and watermarks.
5. A simplified version with fewer props and background elements if the silhouette becomes unclear.
6. An originality check that removes any recognizable character, studio-specific costume, or copied composition.

Keep the historical vocabulary general and the character unmistakably original.
