Questions

Can it add Chinese calligraphy?

It can attempt characters, but AI often gets them wrong. Add calligraphy yourself or check every character carefully.

Is this the same as Japanese style?

No. Neo Chinese draws from Chinese ink painting and line drawing, with lighter lines and more empty space than Japanese irezumi.
