How to use this prompt
"Cut in cross-section" is the phrase that produces the explanatory interior view — without it Flux renders the pod whole, which is a different illustration. Naming the internal anatomy (chambers, seeds arranged inside, membrane texture) gives the model the structure it cannot guess; "fine hatching" is the only shading permitted and it must be explicitly described as membrane texture, or Flux fills the whole interior with solid grey. "Herbarium plate style" anchors the scientific-illustration lineage and keeps the linework precise rather than stylised. The 3:4 portrait suits a framed botanical print. Keep the white margin generous for the herbarium feel.
Variations to try
- Redraw as a chili pepper cross-section showing the placenta and seed arrangement
- Add a second pod in longitudinal section beside the cross-section for a full herbarium plate
