Codename : Dirty Laundry

the prompt

Cinematic illustrated character reference sheet,
EFFECT TYPE: editorial multi-panel character document, anime/manga-influenced flat illustration with soft cell shading, clean print-ready layout,

CAMERA POSITION: orthographic flat-on document view | DIRECTION: zero perspective distortion across all panels,
(Document layout — not a single photographic frame. Each interior panel uses its own camera per Complex_Camera_Angles.md, but the overall sheet reads as a flat editorial spread.)

SUBJECT: {{CHARACTER}} — preserve exact hair, face/mask, wardrobe, footwear, body proportions, and color signature from the attached reference image. Same character rendered consistently across every panel on the sheet.

SHEET LAYOUT — single composite image, structured panels on warm off-white paper background (#F4F1EA) with 1px cool-gray panel borders (#9CA3AF), sans-serif uppercase headers, generous whitespace:

— TOP HEADER STRIP (full width):
  Title block left: "CHARACTER REFERENCE SHEET"
  Field labels in small caps with values beneath:
  NAME: {{NAME}} | ALIAS: {{ALIAS}} | ROLE: {{ROLE}} | AGE: {{AGE}} | PERSONALITY: {{TRAITS}} | CORE THEME: {{THEME}} | SPEECH ACCENT: {{ACCENT}}
  Right side: "COLOR PALETTE" label with 7 horizontal swatches sampled from the character's wardrobe and skin/hair tones

— MAIN IDENTITY + SCALE SHEET (large left panel, ~60% width):
  Four orthographic full-body views in a row: FRONT, 3/4 VIEW, SIDE, BACK
  Vertical height ruler on left edge marked 0cm to 190cm in 10cm increments
  Eye-level camera, neutral pose, arms relaxed at sides, identical lighting across all four
  Soft top-down studio illumination, minimal shadow, character feet aligned to 0cm baseline

— EXPRESSION PROGRESSION (right panel, 2 rows × 4 columns):
  Headshots, eye-level 85mm-equivalent framing, identical neutral pose, only the face/expression changes
  Labels beneath each: NEUTRAL, CURIOUS, WORRIED, SURPRISED, AFRAID, SAD, DETERMINED, RELIEVED

— MICRO EXPRESSIONS (single row of 5):
  Tight headshots, slightly closer crop than expression progression
  Labels: SUBTLE EYE TENSION, SLIGHT SMIRK, LIP TENSION, MICRO FEAR, CONTROLLED BREATH

— HEAD DETAIL SHEET (single row of 5):
  Same headshot scale, varied camera angles per Complex_Camera_Angles.md
  Labels and angles: 3/4 HEADSHOT (loop lighting eye-level), SIDE HEADSHOT (pure profile 90°), TOP ANGLE (high overhead looking down — vulnerability), LOW ANGLE (worm's-eye looking up — power), DIAGONAL ANGLE (dutch tilt 15°-20° — tension)

— NEUTRAL BASELINE (small panel):
  Single full-body in default standing pose, eye-level, frontal

— POSTURE VARIATION (panel of 3):
  Three full-body poses with body language only, identical wardrobe
  Labels: RELAXED (loose shoulders, weight neutral), TENSE (compressed stance, raised shoulders), CONFIDENT (chest open, weight grounded)

— CLOSE-UP POSE (large feature panel, painterly hero shot):
  Cinematic 3/4 portrait, shallow depth of field feel, dramatic side-key lighting, character delivering signature expression — most rendered illustration on the sheet

— SILHOUETTE GUIDE (small bottom-left panel):
  Two pure black silhouettes side by side: NEUTRAL STANCE (frontal), PROFILE SILHOUETTE (side)
  No interior detail, edge definition only

— NOTES (text block beside silhouettes):
  Bulleted character notes — build, mask/identity logic, key visual signifiers, posture tendencies, palette rationale
  {{NOTES_BULLETS}}

— WARDROBE / ACCESSORIES DETAILS (bottom row, 4 detail crops):
  Macro/close detail panels lit cleanly, isolated on neutral ground
  Labels with brief description beneath each: HAIRSTYLE, OUTER LAYER, FOOTWEAR, FABRIC DETAIL

— HAND GESTURES (bottom row, 5 hand crops):
  Isolated hands on neutral ground, anatomically clean, matching glove/wrap detail from main wardrobe
  Labels: RELAXED HAND, TENSE FINGERS, POINTING, GRIPPING MOTION, SUBTLE GESTURE NEAR FACE

PRIMARY LIGHT: soft diffuse studio top-key creating gentle form definition without hard shadow,
SECONDARY LIGHT: low-intensity ambient bounce | AMBIENT: even paper-white document fill,

ATMOSPHERE: zero atmospheric particles — clean editorial document, no haze, no grain beyond subtle paper texture,

FOREGROUND: panel borders, labels, headers floating on document plane,
BACKGROUND: warm off-white paper, faint paper grain, subtle drop-shadow on panel edges for tactile depth,

COLOR GRADE: monochrome-leaning palette derived from character (extend or contract based on attached reference) | HIGHLIGHTS: paper-white,
SKIN TONE: matched to reference exactly | BLACKS: rich charcoal not pure black, preserving illustrated softness,

ASPECT RATIO: 1:1 (or 5:4 if more panel breathing room is needed),

VIBES: video game character bible meets anime production art book meets editorial fashion lookbook,
NOT CGI, illustrated character reference sheet — flat 2D illustration, no photorealistic rendering.
