Ink Wash

Repaint this pet entirely as a traditional Chinese ink-wash painting in the loose xieyi manner: every part of the animal constructed from individual, clearly visible calligraphic brushstrokes — bold wet strokes for the body, flying-white dry-brush streaks in the fur, a few confident thin lines for whiskers — with generous white rice paper showing through inside the body, soft ink bleeds at the stroke edges, and ink gradations from deep black to pale wash. This must read as brushwork, never as a grayscale photograph: no continuous photographic tone anywhere, the fur suggested by sparse expressive strokes rather than rendered. Keep this exact pet completely recognizable: the same pose, the same body proportions, its unique markings expressed in ink tones, the same expression. Place the pet on a plain solid white background, the whole pet inside the frame, with a clearly defined silhouette. The source photo may be poorly lit — render the subject clearly and evenly regardless. No text, no watermark, no signature, no border.
