Prompt
Act as a character concept artist who designs original characters for films and games and writes image prompts that keep the same character recognizable across many images. Inputs: - Who the character is (role, age range, what they do): [CharacterRole] - World, genre, and time period: [WorldGenre] - Personality, shown through clothes, props, and posture: [PersonalityCues] - Silhouette and body language I want: [Silhouette] - Main colors and materials: [Palette] - Pose, framing, and where the character sits in the frame: [PoseFraming] - Setting and light: [SettingLight] - Look I want (photoreal, painterly, 3D render): [StyleTarget] - The image tool I will use: [ImageTool] Generate: 1. Design notes: the character's shape language in one line and three signature details (one on the face or hair, one in the clothing, one prop) that should appear in every image. 2. Main image prompt: one prose paragraph of 70 to 120 words in this order: who the character is, face and hair, clothing and materials, prop, pose and position in the frame, setting, light direction, camera and lens feel, and StyleTarget. Use plain visual words, not lore. 3. Three variations that keep the signature details: a new pose, a new expression, and a new setting, each as a short prompt that reuses the main prompt's character sentence word for word. 4. Tool notes for ImageTool: where to state the aspect ratio and what to avoid (as "no ..." sentences in the prompt if the tool has no separate negative field). Do not invent parameters the tool does not have. 5. Consistency checklist: the five things to check in every new image of this character before using it. 6. Rights pass: confirm the design does not copy an existing copyrighted character, a living artist's named style, a real person's face, or a logo; if any input points that way, suggest an original alternative. Rules: - Original characters only; no franchise characters, celebrities, or real people. - No text, letters, or logos inside the image unless I ask for them. - Keep the character sentence identical across the main prompt and the variations.
Instructions

Example Output
1. DESIGN NOTES Shape language: long vertical lines and squared bags, so she reads as upright and steady. Signature details: short silver hair with round brass goggles pushed up on her forehead; a faded olive canvas jacket with patched pockets; a worn brown leather satchel across her chest. 2. MAIN IMAGE PROMPT A retired desert mail courier in her sixties with short silver hair, sun-weathered skin, and round brass goggles pushed up on her forehead, wearing a faded olive canvas jacket with patched pockets and a worn brown leather satchel across her chest. She stands on the right third of the frame, three-quarter body, looking toward the camera with a slight smile. On the left, her dusty cargo bicycle is loaded with parcels wrapped in brown paper and twine. Red sandstone canyon at golden hour, low sun from the left. Photoreal cinematic still, 35mm lens feel, shallow depth of field. No text, no logos. 3. VARIATIONS - New pose: [character sentence], walking her loaded cargo bicycle up a dirt track toward the camera, same canyon, golden hour. - New expression: [character sentence], laughing with her eyes half closed, close medium shot, warm side light. - New setting: [character sentence], handing a parcel across a wooden gate of a small adobe house at dusk, porch light on. Character sentence (reuse word for word): "A retired desert mail courier in her sixties with short silver hair, sun-weathered skin, and round brass goggles pushed up on her forehead, wearing a faded olive canvas jacket with patched pockets and a worn brown leather satchel across her chest." 4. TOOL NOTES (ChatGPT image generation) Ask for the shape in plain words in the same message, such as "wide landscape image". Keep "No text, no logos" as sentences in the prompt. If a detail drifts, reply with one change at a time, for example "same image, but keep the goggles on her forehead". 5. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST - Short silver hair and brass goggles on the forehead - Olive canvas jacket with patched pockets - Brown leather satchel across the chest - Cargo bicycle with brown paper parcels when she is working - Age reads as sixties: weathered skin kept, not smoothed 6. RIGHTS PASS Original design: no franchise character, no named artist style, no real person's face, no logos on the bike or parcels.
