Teal Torus Shelf
Concept
Sterile quiet dawn — oversized chrome torus parked on a stepped slate-blue mesa shelf over still deep-teal water, lemon-cyan sky, one hard white-blue sun low left, secondary cyan glass sphere floating.
Why this way
Fresh direction off yesterday's warm amber glass caldera: cold water shelf, chrome ring hero, clinical dawn instead of hot dusk.
Judgment
Kept the first take. Period CGI materials, plastic mesa, mirror torus, left-third negative space for icons.
Process log
- Locked a cold teal/chrome dawn palette on purpose.
- Hero: chrome torus on stepped mesa; cyan glass sphere secondary.
- Kill criteria unused: too photoreal, amber remake, fog lattice remake.
