Movie-Grade Character Design Showcase

Create a cinematic, film-production-grade character design sheet intended for a director, casting team, and costume department. This must feel like a high-budget animated film pitch board, not a generic model sheet. CORE DIRECTIVE (NON-NEGOTIABLE): No generic layouts. No evenly spaced grids. No symmetry for the sake of neatness. Composition must feel art-directed, intentional, slightly asymmetrical. Every section should feel placed, not auto-generated. CHARACTER IDENTITY: Name: [Full character name]. Alias / ID: [Nickname, codename, symbolic title]. Age: [Real or stylized age logic]. Height: [Exact height in cm/ft]. Build: [Detailed body type with nuance — proportions, weight distribution, posture tendencies]. Ethnicity / Design Language: [Real-world influence or stylized hybrid approach — Pixar-esque, anime-inspired, culturally grounded, etc.]. FACE DESIGN: Structure: [Face shape, bone structure, exaggeration level, asymmetry]. Skin / Surface: [Texture, tone, subsurface softness, imperfections, stylization level]. Eyes: [Size, spacing, color, expressiveness, quirks]. Hair: [Style, texture, behavior (physics), imperfections, movement logic]. Distinct Features: [Any defining traits — scars, dimples, stretch, elasticity, etc.]. PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE (DRIVES PERFORMANCE): Core Traits: [3–5 dominant personality traits]. Internal Conflict: [What they want vs what sabotages them]. Behavior Patterns: [Habit 1]. [Habit 2]. [Habit 3]. Emotional Baseline: [Default emotional state + how quickly it shifts]. PERFORMANCE DIRECTION (CRITICAL): Character must feel like a real actor caught mid-moment, not posing. Expression Notes: Micro-expressions required (lip tension, eye movement, eyebrow shifts). Avoid staged symmetry. Capture transitional emotion (before/after reaction). Body Language: [Posture tendencies]. [Movement rhythm: stiff, bouncy, dragging, sharp, etc.]. [Idle behavior: fidgeting, stillness, tension]. WARDROBE (PRODUCTION-REALISTIC WITH STYLIZATION): Primary Outfit: [Garment 1: fabric type, wear, imperfections]. [Garment 2: fit, distortion, stitching details]. [Layering logic]. Footwear: [Material, wear patterns, realism vs stylization]. Accessories: [Functional + character-revealing items]. Props: [Objects frequently carried that reinforce personality]. MATERIAL & TEXTURE ACCURACY: Fabrics must show stretch, stitching, wrinkles, wear. Surfaces must avoid plastic look unless intentionally stylized. Skin should have soft light interaction, slight bounce. Include imperfections: dirt, smudges, aging, usage marks. TURNAROUND REQUIREMENTS (STRICT CONSISTENCY): Generate full-body turnaround with identical proportions and design fidelity: Front View. 3/4 View. Side View. Back View. 3/4 Back View. No drift in proportions, face, or costume. HEAD STUDY (ACTOR REFERENCE QUALITY): Include expressive head variations: Front (neutral or controlled expression). 3/4 (primary personality expression). Profile (structure clarity). Looking Down (emotion: [insert]). Looking Up (emotion: [insert]). Dynamic Angle (emotion: [insert intense state]). Expressions must feel captured mid-thought, not posed. CINEMATIC PORTRAIT (FILM STILL): Environment: [Specific location tied to character behavior]. Lighting: [Motivated sources — practical lights, ambient glow, contrast level]. Color Tone: [Palette direction — warm, cool, mixed, stylized]. Expression: [Specific narrative moment]. Camera: [Real-world lens feel — 50mm, 85mm, etc.]. Shallow depth of field, cinematic realism. CAMERA + LIGHTING SPECIFICATIONS: Full Body: Lens: [e.g., 35mm]. Lighting: soft key + bounce. Natural exposure, no HDR. Portrait: Lens: [e.g., 85mm]. Depth of field: shallow. Focus priority: eyes and expression. COMPOSITION & LAYOUT: Clean but art-directed sheet layout. Neutral background (gray or soft tone) for turnaround. Structured but visually dynamic section placement. Include: Height scale reference. Annotation callouts (fabric stretch, personality cues, prop usage). Wardrobe breakdown section. Notes for production. Layout must feel like a premium studio presentation board. STYLE: [Define clearly]. Examples: Pixar-style stylized realism. Hyper-expressive animation realism. Semi-realistic cinematic character design. Must include: Appealing exaggeration. Soft geometry. Cinematic lighting. High emotional readability. CONSISTENCY RULE (STRICT): Face, proportions, costume, and details must remain identical across all views and sections. No reinterpretation between angles. OUTPUT QUALITY: Extremely high detail. Sharp focus. Production-ready fidelity. Suitable for film development, merchandising, and pitch decks.
