Create a highly detailed PROFESSIONAL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT / CHARACTER REFERENCE SHEET using the uploaded reference image as the ONLY source for the subject's identity. IMPORTANT IDENTITY RULE: Use the uploaded face reference ONLY to preserve the subject's true facial identity, facial structure, proportions, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, skin characteristics and recognizable features. The subject can be MALE or FEMALE depending entirely on the uploaded reference. Do NOT change, beautify, feminize, masculinize, age, de-age, or redesign the person's natural facial identity. Preserve the exact recognizable identity consistently throughout every panel. Create ONE SINGLE LARGE VERTICAL CHARACTER SHEET / MODEL SHEET, not separate images. VISUAL STYLE: Premium professional film-production character reference sheet, realistic photography combined with clean production-design documentation, white/off-white studio background, extremely clean editorial layout, subtle thin gray divider lines, small professional labels, technical annotations, realistic photographic rendering, high-end cinematic character-development presentation, natural skin texture, realistic hair strands, accurate anatomy, consistent proportions.
