The prompt

Copy it.
Then make it yours.

Use the supplied character sheet as the absolute authority for the character’s identity and design. Recreate that exact character in the composition and visual language described below while preserving unmistakable recognizability.

CHARACTER FIDELITY — HIGHEST PRIORITY

Preserve every visible identity-defining trait from the supplied character sheet, including:

* species
* clearly adult age
* gender presentation
* facial structure
* eye shape and eye color
* hairstyle, bangs, hair length, texture, and color
* skin tone
* body type and proportions
* horns, ears, tails, wings, claws, or other nonhuman anatomy
* scars, freckles, markings, tattoos, birthmarks, or body art
* prosthetics, cybernetics, masks, visors, or unusual anatomy
* signature jewelry, hair ornaments, flowers, accessories, or piercings
* distinctive clothing, armor, fabrics, patterns, and motifs
* characteristic color palette
* overall personality, elegance, softness, confidence, menace, aloofness, or visual presence

Do not replace the character with a generic anime character, demon girl, elf, fantasy noble, or shrine-maiden archetype. The face, silhouette, anatomy, clothing language, and defining features must remain faithful to the supplied reference.

COMPOSITION

Create an elegant three-quarter portrait, roughly from the upper torso upward.

The character is positioned slightly off-center and turned partially away from the viewer, with their shoulders angled to the side while their head turns back toward the camera.

Use a graceful over-the-shoulder pose with:

* relaxed posture
* slightly lifted chin
* calm, self-assured expression
* eyes directed toward the viewer
* subtle emotional restraint rather than an exaggerated smile
* flowing hair framing the face and shoulders

The portrait should feel intimate and refined, like a beautifully illustrated character-card or light-novel insert.

ABSTRACT BRUSH-STROKE FRAMING

The defining compositional feature is a series of large irregular white painted brush strokes cutting across the portrait.

These strokes should behave like masking elements that partially conceal the body and clothing while leaving the character’s face and important identifying features clearly readable.

Use approximately 3–5 broad diagonal or horizontal white strokes crossing through the lower and middle portions of the image.

The brush strokes should:

* have rough, hand-painted edges
* vary naturally in thickness
* overlap portions of the torso, arms, and clothing
* create negative-space breaks through the illustration
* feel energetic without obscuring the character’s identity
* resemble dry-brush acrylic or ink dragged across paper

Do not make them perfectly straight geometric bars.

CHARACTER DETAIL

Render the head and face with the highest level of detail.

Preserve delicate details such as:

* individual hair strands
* eyelashes
* eye highlights
* subtle blush or facial shading where appropriate
* ear anatomy
* jewelry
* flowers or ornaments
* horns or other head features
* tattoos or decorative markings visible around the shoulders and upper body

Any tattoos, symbols, embroidery, or patterned fabric from the character sheet should remain recognizable rather than being replaced by generic decoration.

CLOTHING

Keep the character’s canonical outfit from the supplied sheet unless another outfit is explicitly requested.

Adapt the garment naturally to the pose while maintaining:

* original neckline
* sleeves
* armor pieces
* fabric layering
* patterns
* trims
* accessories
* color relationships
* signature symbols

Let portions of the clothing disappear behind the white brush-stroke masking so the illustration feels intentionally fragmented.

BACKGROUND

Use a predominantly clean white or warm ivory background.

Behind the character, add sparse abstract painterly marks in a color derived from the character’s own palette.

These background marks should be extremely subtle:

* pale watercolor washes
* loose angular brush marks
* faint ink textures
* soft irregular splashes

Keep the background minimal. No detailed environment, room, landscape, architecture, or scenery.

ART STYLE

High-end anime / manga character illustration with:

* elegant clean linework
* refined facial rendering
* soft cel shading blended with painterly gradients
* delicate hair detailing
* tasteful ornamental detail
* restrained saturation
* subtle watercolor influence
* Japanese character-art sensibility
* polished light-novel / collectible-card illustration quality

The rendering should feel graceful and handcrafted rather than glossy 3D.

Maintain a balance between crisp line art and soft painterly texture.

LIGHTING

Use soft diffused studio-like lighting.

Favor:

* gentle highlights on the face and hair
* subtle shadows beneath the bangs, jaw, and clothing folds
* luminous eyes
* softly separated silhouette
* minimal harsh contrast

The face should remain the primary focal point.

COLOR

Base all major character colors directly on the supplied character sheet.

Use a subdued, harmonious presentation rather than oversaturating the image.

Allow the white negative space and pale background to occupy a large percentage of the composition, making the character’s colors stand out elegantly.

FINAL RESULT

The finished image should look like an elegant anime character portrait partially revealed through expressive white paint strokes, preserving the supplied character sheet with extremely high fidelity.

Prioritize, in this order:

1. exact character recognizability
2. facial accuracy
3. signature anatomy and accessories
4. outfit and markings
5. elegant over-the-shoulder pose
6. fragmented white brush-stroke composition
7. clean minimalist presentation

Do not add text, captions, logos, borders, signatures, or watermarks.

Refinement notes

Three useful ways to customize it

01

Subject and action

Replace the central subject first, then adjust its pose, action, expression, or relationship to the scene.

02

Composition and light

Change the viewpoint, crop, negative space, light direction, and contrast before layering on more style words.

03

Output shape

The saved reference uses 1:1. Change the aspect ratio to match the final placement before refining small details.
