1Create an extreme close-up portrait of the character in the attached character reference sheet. Treat that sheet as the absolute authority for the character's identity and design: preserve their face, facial proportions, skin tone, hair style/color, eyes, ears or other character features, and any visible clothing/accessories. Do not redesign the character.
2The second attached portrait is ONLY a rendering-quality reference. Do not copy that character's identity, face, hair, colors, clothing, accessories, expression, pose, or composition. Use it only as the target for detail density and finish: highly defined facial features, dimensional anime shading, intricate eyes and eyelashes, individually rendered hair strands, subtle skin highlights and warmth, sophisticated lighting, depth, material definition, and extremely polished cinematic anime rendering.
3Frame the subject very tightly from approximately the upper chest/clavicle to the tips of their hair/ears, with the face dominating the image. Use an eye-level camera and direct eye contact. Give them a small natural smile with subtle blush. Preserve recognizable anime facial proportions while adding significantly more dimensional definition and fine detail; do not make the face photorealistic.
4Use a simple dark atmospheric background and cinematic lighting that complements the character's existing palette. Keep the eyes, face, and nearest hair strands exceptionally sharp, with gentle depth falloff elsewhere.
5Do not show the waist, hips, legs, or full body. Do not create a detailed environment. Do not copy the second portrait's scene or character.
6Character sheet = WHO the character is. Second portrait = ONLY the LEVEL OF RENDERING QUALITY.
