Description
This is not an icon-making Skill that simply applies a Chinese-style filter to a theme. It first understands the true function, action, and state an app, Skill, mini program, or game needs to express. It avoids obvious first-reaction answers such as “writing = calligraphy brush” or “music = instrument,” first distilling the concept, merging its structure, and turning it into an icon design. It then renders the result with expressive Eastern watercolor, xuan paper texture, and Riso halftone. By default, it outputs one strongest solution. The focus is not on piling on traditional Chinese elements, but on giving every icon an accurate, clear, and memorable design idea. Suitable for app icons, Skill icons, mini programs, games, and all kinds of digital products.

ImageSoft-Skeuomorphic App Icons
Design refined soft-skeuomorphic icons for your app: clean, restrained, and tactile, like carefully crafted objects rather than cartoon stickers or heavy 3D. Ideal for utility, productivity, and creative apps that need a sense of quality and strong recognition. Simply describe what the app does, and I’ll suggest several design directions to choose from, then provide English prompts ready for image generation. If image generation is supported in the current environment, I’ll generate the icon directly as well. Supports: - iOS only - macOS only - Both iOS and macOS iOS works best with full-bleed source artwork, while macOS is better suited to a classic rounded-square icon presentation. If you need both platforms, the same visual identity will be maintained. Not suitable for bold, inflated, highly sticker-like icon styles.
