Create a highly realistic professional **character reference sheet** for the character shown in the **uploaded reference image**, designed for consistent use in AI image and video generation. ## REFERENCE IMAGE - PRIMARY SOURCE Use the uploaded reference image as the **ONLY source of truth for the character's visual identity and appearance**. Reproduce the same character from the reference image as accurately as possible. Preserve and consistently match: - Exact facial identity - Facial structure and proportions - Eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, ears and jawline - Skin tone and natural skin characteristics - Age appearance - Body type and proportions - Height and overall physique - Hairstyle, hair length, hairline, color and texture - Facial hair, if present - Makeup, if present - Clothing and outfit design - Clothing colors, materials, patterns and fit - Shoes - Jewelry and accessories - Any other distinctive physical or styling characteristics visible in the reference **Do not redesign the character. Do not substitute generic features. Do not beautify, masculinize, feminize, age, de-age, slim, enlarge, or otherwise alter the character.** If the reference image shows a male character, preserve the male character exactly. If the reference image shows a female character, preserve the female character exactly. If the reference shows another clearly identifiable character presentation, preserve that appearance exactly. The reference image takes priority over any generic assumptions about gender, age, ethnicity, body type, hairstyle, clothing, or appearance. --- ## LAYOUT Create a clean, professional **multi-panel character reference sheet** on a dark neutral studio background. Arrange all views in a precise, organized production-reference layout with consistent scale, spacing and lighting. ### TOP ROW - FULL CHARACTER REFERENCES Include: 1. Full-body FRONT view 2. Full-body 3/4 FRONT view 3. Full-body SIDE profile view 4. Full-body BACK view 5. Full-body 3/4 BACK view 6. WIREFRAME / anatomical body reference render 7. CLAY / neutral gray 3D render 8. TEXTURED photorealistic final render The character should stand naturally with a relaxed neutral posture. Keep the body clearly visible enough to study: - Anatomy - Body proportions - Silhouette - Clothing construction - Hair shape - Accessories - Shoes Maintain the **same physical proportions and character identity across every view**. --- ## BOTTOM ROW - FACIAL REFERENCES Create detailed facial reference panels showing: - Straight FRONT face - 3/4 face - Opposite 3/4 face angle - SIDE profile - Close-up hair and hairstyle reference Preserve the exact facial structure and identity from the reference image. Do not generate a different face for any angle. Show realistic details such as: - Natural skin texture - Facial contours - Eyes - Eyebrows - Nose structure - Lips - Jawline - Cheekbones - Hairline - Facial hair where applicable --- ## DETAIL REFERENCE PANELS Include clean close-up panels for all distinctive character elements visible in the uploaded reference, including where applicable: - Earrings - Necklace - Other jewelry - Glasses - Headwear - Hair texture - Hairstyle - Upper clothing / shirt / jacket / top - Lower clothing / pants / skirt / shorts - Shoes - Bags or other accessories - Distinctive clothing details - Unique character markings or visible features Do not invent accessories or wardrobe that are not present in the reference image. --- ## CHARACTER CONSISTENCY The uploaded reference image determines the character's: - Gender presentation - Age appearance - Face - Body - Skin - Hair - Clothing - Accessories - Overall visual identity Every panel must depict **the exact same character**. Maintain: **IDENTITY LOCK:** Same person, same facial identity, same facial geometry, same eyes, same nose, same lips, same jawline and same distinctive facial characteristics. **BODY LOCK:** Same body shape, height appearance, proportions, physique, shoulder width, waist, limbs and overall silhouette. **HAIR LOCK:** Same hairstyle, hairline, length, volume, color, texture and styling. **WARDROBE LOCK:** Same clothing, colors, materials, patterns, fit, footwear and access sore. **MATERIAL LOCK:** Maintain consistent skin, hair, fabric, leather, metal and other material characteristics across all views. --- ## REALISM Ultra-realistic professional character design reference sheet. Use: - Photorealistic rendering - Realistic human anatomy - Physically accurate proportions - Natural skin texture - Fine pores and subtle imperfections - Individual hair strands - Realistic fabric behavior - Accurate clothing construction - Physically plausible materials - Natural reflections - Realistic shadows - High-resolution details Avoid overly airbrushed or artificial appearance. The result should resemble a real person photographed for VFX or game production. --- ## CAMERA & REFERENCE VIEWS Use clean, controlled studio/reference principles. Maintain consistent: - Camera height - Character scale - Focal perspective - Lighting direction - Exposure - Background - Color balance - Shadow behavior Use orthographic or minimally distorted views where appropriate. Ensure front, side, back align properly for proportion study. --- ## PRESENTATION Professional VFX / game-production aesthetic. - Dark neutral background - Clean panel separation - Consistent neutral lighting - Soft controlled shadows - Sharp subject isolation - Highly organized layout - Large enough panels to inspect No unnecessary elements, extra people, or distracting props. --- ## ABSOLUTE CONSISTENCY RULE The **uploaded reference image is the single authoritative source**. Do not reinterpret or redesign. Do not create alternate versions. Do not change identity between panels. Do not change: - Face - Facial proportions - Body proportions - Color appearance - Gender presentation - Skin tone - Hair - Clothing - Accessories - Shoes - Distinctive physical characteristics All panels = ONE identical character. --- ## NEGATIVE CONSTRAINTS No identity drift. No face swapping. No different person. No generic face. No gender alteration. No age alteration. No body reshaping. No hairstyle changes. No outfit changes. No invented accessories. No inconsistent proportions. No facial distortion. No asymmetrical anatomy. No duplicated limbs. No extra fingers. No missing fingers. No deformed hands. No warped clothing. No distorted shoes. No duplicated character. No extra people. No cartoon. No anime. No illustration. No plastic skin. No retouching. No symmetry over-render. No unrealistic anatomy. No CGI face. **FINAL REQUIREMENT:** Generate a **single professional character reference sheet** with multiple views of the same character, maintaining maximum identity and visual consistency.
