Mallow Core
A surreal material-transmutation aesthetic defined by the conversion of everything in the image into a marshmallow version of itself, while preserving overall identity through form rather than material logic. The style is characterized by radical viscoelastic softening, reinterpreting all depicted elements through a uniformly aerated, saccharine, marshmallow-like substance regime. Rigidity is systematically suppressed, converting all surfaces into bulbous, yielding, semi-collapsed volumes with high plasticity and low structural tension. Formal language favors distension, sag, adhesion, compression, and thermally softened deformation over any sense of fixed solidity. Surface treatment should evoke a hybridized confectionary tactility: porous yet cohesive, plush yet lacquered, with a subtle gelatinous bloom beneath a thin, glossy epidermis. Texture operates through pillowed swelling, elastic drag, softened blistering, tacky fusion, and slight subsurface puffiness, producing an uncanny balance between foamed lightness and sticky material density. The finish is neither dry nor wet, but ambiguously semi-lustrous, as if lightly glazed by heat and sugar crystallization. Morphology is governed by roundedness, osmotic inflation, and melt-adjacent slippage. Contours should appear over-resolved into softened curvature, with crisp edges dissolved into swollen perimeter transitions and attenuated boundary definition. Planar stability is replaced by spongiform convexity; tension lines relax into droop, bulge, and compression folds. The underlying visual effect is one of suspended structural failure: each element remains legible as its original type, but only as a marshmallow-translated analogue, perpetually on the verge of sagging, fusing, or slumping. Light interaction is essential. Specularity should be soft-edged and syrupy rather than glass-hard, with diffuse highlight rolloff across inflated topologies. Shading should privilege velvety tonal gradients, low-contrast atmosp
