Anime Storyboard & Character Sheet Prompt

Create a single horizontal animation pre-production board for an original emotional 2D anime-style short film titled "The Piece of Bread." The output must be one image only and combine: 1. a character design sheet 2. a hand-drawn storyboard page. IMPORTANT Do not make the woman or cat resemble any reference screenshots or existing characters. Keep the same emotional story concept, but create completely original character designs, unique silhouettes, and distinct facial features. No copyrighted characters or close resemblance to any existing animated films or anime. STYLE Professional anime production board. Hand-drawn storyboard style with loose pencil sketch lines, light gray shading, red panel borders, blue motion arrows, and short handwritten production notes. Rendered with anime-inspired linework featuring clean inked outlines, expressive eyes, and simplified shading blocks. It should look like a real animation studio planning sheet, not a polished final illustration. LAYOUT Clean horizontal 16:9 board divided into two sections. SECTION A: CHARACTER SHEET Show both characters consistently. Woman: A young woman in her early 20s with shoulder-length slightly messy dark brown hair tied loosely at the back, a soft oval face, gentle expressive anime eyes, and a tired but kind expression. She wears a faded oversized hoodie, loose trousers, worn sneakers, and carries a simple cloth shoulder bag. She should appear humble, exhausted, compassionate, and resilient. Show: front view, side view, 3/4 view, expressions: hungry, thoughtful, soft smile, emotional, pose holding a small bread bun, pose offering bread. Cat: A small original stray cat with short charcoal-gray fur, a cream-colored chest and paws, slightly oversized anime-style eyes, one ear with a tiny notch, and a long curved tail. The cat should feel timid, hungry, hopeful, innocent, and lovable. Show: front view, side view, 3/4 view, expressions: sad, shy, hopeful, happy, trusting, sitting pose, taking bread pose, cuddling beside the woman. Include tiny handwritten notes and a few small color swatches. SECTION B: STORYBOARD Create 8 cinematic storyboard panels arranged neatly in a grid. Keep character designs consistent throughout. Each panel should include simple handwritten shot notes and blue arrows indicating motion. STORY BEATS 1. Close-up of the woman about to take a bite from a small bread bun during sunset. 2. Medium shot of the hungry stray cat sitting nearby, staring at the bread with sad, hopeful eyes. 3. Close-up of the woman breaking the bread into two pieces as crumbs fall. 4. Medium shot of the woman offering one piece to the cat. 5. Close shot of the cat cautiously stepping forward and taking the bread. 6. Medium shot of the cat sitting beside the woman while she gently pets it. 7. Emotional close-up of the cat resting its head on the woman's lap. 8. Wide sunset shot from behind, showing the woman and cat sitting together with a cloth bag and water bottle beside them. ENVIRONMENT Quiet city sidewalk beside a low wall, soft urban background, cloth shoulder bag, small water bottle, warm golden sunset lighting, peaceful atmosphere, and an emotional mood. FINAL GOAL Create a dense, clean, production-ready anime pre-production board combining a character design sheet and storyboard in a single 16:9 horizontal image, conveying a heartfelt story of compassion and kindness through completely original character designs.
