Create a professional 6-panel CHARACTER DESIGN DEVELOPMENT SHEET based on the uploaded female character reference image. CRITICAL REFERENCE LOCK - DO NOT REDESIGN THE GIRL: The uploaded reference image is the ONLY and ABSOLUTE visual source of truth for the female character. Preserve the EXACT SAME GIRL throughout all six panels: - exact recognizable face and facial identity - exact facial proportions and features - exact eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips and jawline - exact hairstyle, hair length, hair texture and hair color - exact skin tone - exact age and body proportions - exact physique and silhouette - EXACT SAME DRESS / OUTFIT from the uploaded reference - exact clothing colors - exact clothing shape, neckline, sleeves, skirt/pants length, accessories and footwear - all distinctive details visible in the reference DO NOT change her outfit. DO NOT redesign her clothing. DO NOT turn her into a superhero. DO NOT add armor, cape, mask, helmet or fantasy costume. DO NOT change her face or make a different female character. The uploaded reference image determines WHAT THE GIRL LOOKS LIKE. The provided 6-panel development-sheet reference determines HOW HER CHARACTER DESIGN IS PRESENTED. COMPOSITION: Create a single professional concept-art sheet divided into a clean 2 × 3 grid with exactly SIX panels, matching the visual development progression and presentation structure of the provided reference sheet. The SAME GIRL and SAME OUTFIT must remain recognizable in every panel. PHASE 1 - BASIC STRUCTURE & FORMS: Show the girl as a professional character construction sketch. Use simplified anatomical construction: - head construction - facial guidelines - neck - shoulders - ribcage - waist - hips - arms and legs - basic body proportions - simplified block-in of her EXACT reference outfit Keep her face recognizable even at the sketch stage. Use clean gray/black professional concept-art linework with construction lines and minimal shading. Add subtle professional annotation arrows for: "Head construction" "Shoulder line" "Torso" "Body proportions" PHASE 2 - DEFINING THE CHARACTER & OUTFIT: Develop the same girl further while preserving her EXACT identity and EXACT clothing. Refine: - exact face - hairstyle - facial structure - body silhouette - exact dress/outfit - clothing folds - neckline - sleeves - waist structure - accessories - footwear Do not invent new clothing elements. Use clean detailed character-design line art similar to a professional film/game development sheet. PHASE 3 - DETAILING THE OUTFIT: Show the same girl with highly refined monochrome linework. Carefully detail the EXACT outfit visible in the reference: - fabric construction - seams - folds - stitching - layered clothing - accessories - buttons/zippers/patterns if present - natural fabric tension - hair strands - facial details Every clothing detail must remain faithful to the uploaded reference. Add professional design callouts pointing toward clothing and material details. PHASE 4 - ESTABLISHING THE LIGHT SOURCE & PRIMARY SHADOWS: Convert the same character into a partially rendered version. Keep: EXACT SAME FACE EXACT SAME HAIR EXACT SAME BODY EXACT SAME OUTFIT EXACT SAME CHARACTER DESIGN. Introduce the lighting treatment shown in the development-sheet reference: - strong directional warm light - controlled primary shadows - subtle warm back/rim light - dimensional facial planes - realistic fabric shading - realistic material response The lighting changes, NOT the character. PHASE 5 - REFINING RIM LIGHT & SPECULAR HIGHLIGHTS: Further render the same girl. Preserve her exact identity and exact outfit. Add: - refined warm rim light - subtle specular highlights where physically appropriate - realistic skin texture - natural hair highlights - detailed fabric texture - realistic shadows - dimensional clothing folds - refined facial planes - cinematic contrast Do not beautify or alter her face beyond the reference. PHASE 6 - FINAL CHARACTER & ATMOSPHERE: Create the final polished cinematic character presentation. This is the SAME GIRL from the uploaded reference image, wearing the EXACT SAME OUTFIT. Final rendering should include: - exact facial identity - exact hairstyle - exact body proportions - exact clothing - realistic skin texture - realistic hair strands - realistic fabric/material detail - cinematic warm rim lighting - deep but natural shadows - subtle atmospheric depth - sophisticated environmental background - professional film/game character concept-art finish The final panel should look like the completed version of the character after the five previous development stages. POSE CONSISTENCY: Use the SAME primary character pose/orientation across the six development stages wherever possible, following the structure of the provided 6-panel reference sheet. Do not create random fashion poses. Do not create unrelated poses. Do not change the character's proportions between panels. The six panels should visually communicate the DEVELOPMENT PROCESS of the SAME FEMALE CHARACTER: 1. Basic construction 2. Character + outfit definition 3. Outfit detailing 4. Primary lighting 5. Refined lighting/highlights 6. Final cinematic rendering REFERENCE RELATIONSHIP: REFERENCE IMAGE 1 = EXACT GIRL'S IDENTITY, FACE, HAIR, BODY AND OUTFIT. REFERENCE IMAGE 2 = ONLY THE 6-PANEL DEVELOPMENT-SHEET STRUCTURE, progression, panel arrangement and presentation style. Never copy the character from Reference Image 2. Only use its development-sheet FORMAT. FINAL REQUIREMENT: The viewer must immediately recognize that all six panels show the exact same girl from the uploaded reference image. The character's identity and clothing must never drift or change between panels.
