Character Turnaround Sheet Prompt for AI

**Use the uploaded reference image as the ONLY identity reference for the subject. Create a highly detailed, professional CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT / CHARACTER REFERENCE SHEET based strictly on the person shown in the uploaded reference image.** ### 1. IDENTITY & SUBJECT LOCK - ABSOLUTE PRIORITY Preserve the subject's exact recognizable identity from the reference image. Do **NOT** beautify, redesign, reinterpret, age, de-age, or replace the person. Preserve as accurately as possible: - exact facial identity - facial structure and proportions - eyes, eye shape and spacing - eyebrows - nose shape and proportions - lips and mouth - cheeks - jawline - chin - forehead - ears - hairline - hairstyle and hair characteristics - natural skin texture - skin tone - freckles, moles, scars, tattoos, marks and other distinctive features - natural facial asymmetry - body proportions and recognizable physical characteristics The subject may be **male or female**. Determine the subject's presentation entirely from the uploaded reference image. **Never change the subject's gender presentation.** If the reference image only shows the face or upper body, do not invent a different identity. Build the character sheet around the available identity information while keeping the face highly consistent. --- ### 2. CHARACTER TURNAROUND Create a professional **4-panel character reference sheet** showing the SAME person consistently across all panels: **PANEL 1 - FRONT VIEW** Full-body straight-on view, standing naturally, neutral relaxed posture, entire body visible from head to feet. **PANEL 2 - SIDE VIEW** Exact side-profile view of the SAME person, facing sideways, full body visible. **PANEL 3 - BACK VIEW** Exact rear view of the SAME person, showing the back of the hairstyle, body proportions, clothing and silhouette. **PANEL 4 - PORTRAIT / FACE CLOSE-UP** Large detailed head-and-shoulders portrait of the SAME person, clearly showing facial identity, skin texture, eyes, nose, lips, hairline and distinctive features. All four views must represent **one identical person**, not four variations. --- ### 3. CONSISTENCY REQUIREMENT Maintain strict visual continuity between every panel. The person must have: - identical face - identical facial proportions - identical hairstyle - identical hair length - identical body proportions - identical skin tone - identical tattoos/marks - identical clothing - identical accessories - identical physical characteristics Do not create different versions of the person between views. The side view must genuinely match the front-view face. The back view must genuinely match the same hairstyle, body shape and clothing. The portrait must be unmistakably the same person shown in the full-body views. --- ### 4. CLOTHING & APPEARANCE Preserve the subject's clothing and overall appearance from the reference image whenever visible. If the reference image provides clothing, reproduce it accurately, including: - garment type - silhouette - color - fabric - texture - patterns - shoes - jewelry - glasses - accessories - tattoos and visible body details Do not randomly change the outfit between panels. If clothing details are not visible in the reference, create a **simple, realistic, neutral character-development outfit** appropriate to the subject, while keeping the person's identity and physical characteristics unchanged. --- ### 5. STUDIO ENVIRONMENT Use a clean professional character-design studio setup. Background: - dark charcoal gray / neutral gray seamless studio background - subtle tonal gradient - clean professional presentation - no distracting objects - no scenery - no props Lighting: - soft professional studio lighting - realistic shadows - subtle rim light where appropriate - natural skin illumination - realistic material response - balanced exposure - no dramatic cinematic lighting The overall presentation should resemble a **premium professional character turnaround / character development reference sheet** used by film, animation, VFX or game-production artists. --- ### 6. POSE & CAMERA Front, side and back views should use the same neutral standing position. Full body must remain completely visible. Use consistent: - camera height - focal length - framing - scale - distance from camera - lighting direction Keep the subject centered and evenly framed. Avoid exaggerated poses, perspective distortion, fisheye distortion or extreme wide-angle effects. Use a realistic professional photography look with approximately **50–85mm equivalent perspective**. --- ### 7. PORTRAIT PANEL The portrait panel should be significantly larger than the turnaround views. Show a highly detailed natural portrait of the same subject. Focus especially on: - exact facial identity - eyes - eyebrows - nose - lips - cheeks - jaw - chin - skin pores - natural skin texture - subtle asymmetry - hairline - hairstyle The portrait must look like a high-quality realistic character-development photograph, **not an AI-generated generic face**. --- ### 8. REALISM Photorealistic professional character reference photography. Include: - realistic skin texture - realistic pores - natural hair strands - realistic fabric - physically believable anatomy - accurate hands - accurate fingers - realistic feet and shoes - natural body proportions - subtle natural imperfections Avoid: - plastic skin - excessive beauty retouching - artificial symmetry - doll-like appearance - CGI appearance - cartoon appearance - anime appearance - fantasy redesign - exaggerated muscles or body proportions - facial morphing - identity drift --- ### 9. CHARACTER SHEET DESIGN Arrange the composition as a professional **horizontal character turnaround sheet**. Layout: **FRONT | SIDE | BACK | PORTRAIT** Use clean vertical divisions between panels. At the bottom, add a sophisticated professional information strip containing small minimalist typography such as: **CHARACTER TURNAROUND** **STUDIO PRESENTATION SHEET** And small metadata fields such as: **CHARACTER NAME:** CUSTOM CHARACTER **DATE:** [CURRENT DATE] **HEIGHT:** [IF KNOWN / OTHERWISE OMIT] **NOTES:** REALISTIC CHARACTER MODEL FOR VISUAL DEVELOPMENT Typography should be subtle, professional and secondary to the character. Do not allow text to cover the person's face or body. --- ### 10. FINAL QUALITY CONTROL Before generating, internally verify: **IDENTITY:** Same recognizable person in all four views. **FACE:** Exact facial characteristics preserved. **BODY:** Consistent anatomy and proportions. **HAIR:** Consistent hairstyle and length. **CLOTHING:** Consistent across all views. **TATTOOS/MARKS:** Preserved accurately. **GENDER PRESENTATION:** Preserved from reference. **VIEWS:** Front, true side, true back and close-up portrait. **REALISM:** Photorealistic, natural and professional. **LAYOUT:** Clean professional 4-panel character turnaround sheet. **The uploaded reference image is the authoritative source for the subject's identity. Do not substitute, merge or borrow identity characteristics from any other person.** **Output: one polished, highly detailed, photorealistic professional character reference / turnaround sheet in the same overall visual style, structure and presentation quality as a premium film, VFX or game character-development sheet.**
