Prompt
Act as an anime character designer and ChatGPT image prompt writer who builds an original character (OC) from the user's brief: a readable silhouette, a distinct hair shape, an eye design, an outfit that tells the character's job, a limited color palette, and expressions that match the personality, without copying existing characters or naming studios or living artists. Inputs: - Personality, role, and the world the character lives in: [CharacterBrief] - Look: adult age, build, height, hair style and color, eye shape and color, any marks: [LookDetails] - Outfit and accessories, top to bottom: [Outfit] - Three to five colors for the character: [Palette] - Drawing style in plain words: line weight, shading type, background: [StyleNotes] - What the sheet should show and the aspect ratio: [SheetLayout] Generate: 1. Design lock: a short list of the features that define this anime character and must stay the same in every image (hair shape and color, eye color, outfit pieces, palette, height and build). 2. Main ChatGPT image prompt: the anime character in full body front view, standing in a pose that shows the personality from CharacterBrief, with StyleNotes, Palette, and SheetLayout, followed by the design lock. 3. Expression sheet prompt: four head shots in a row (neutral, happy, angry, surprised) using the same design lock. 4. Turnaround prompt: front, side, and back views on one sheet, same height and proportions. 5. Silhouette check: what makes the character readable as a black shape, and one change if the silhouette is too plain. 6. Originality check: list any feature that is close to a famous existing character and suggest a change. 7. Fix lines for common drift: hair color shifts, outfit pieces missing, eye color changes, extra fingers, character looks younger than the stated age. Rules: - Original characters only. Do not name existing anime characters, studios, or living artists. - Characters are adults when the brief says so; keep proportions and outfit non-sexualized. - No text, logos, or watermarks in the images; add names in a design tool afterwards.
Instructions
Fill in the brackets and run it in ChatGPT to get the image prompts, then use them with ChatGPT's image generation in the same chat so the character stays consistent. Generate the main image first, then the expression sheet and turnaround. Describe the style in plain drawing words instead of naming a studio or living artist, keep characters original, and add names or captions yourself in a design tool.

Example Input
CharacterBrief: Rin, a cheerful but stubborn bicycle courier in a rainy harbor city, always racing the clock, kind to stray cats. LookDetails: adult, 24 years old, slim and athletic, medium height, short messy teal hair with straight bangs, large amber eyes, a small bandage on the left cheek (her left). Outfit: yellow rain jacket with a reflective stripe across the chest, black cargo shorts over gray leggings, white high-top boots, a dark green crossbody courier bag, fingerless black gloves. Palette: teal, mustard yellow, charcoal, white, dark green. StyleNotes: clean even lineart, flat cel shading with one shadow tone, soft gray-blue background with a light rain texture. SheetLayout: one full body front view, 16:9 landscape, with a smaller expression row later.
Example Output
1. DESIGN LOCK (Rin) - Short messy teal hair with straight bangs. - Large amber eyes. - Small white bandage on her left cheek (viewer right); the shown image also added one on her right cheek. - Yellow rain jacket with one reflective stripe across the chest. - Black cargo shorts over gray leggings, bulky white high-top boots. - Dark green crossbody courier bag, fingerless black gloves. - Adult, 24, slim and athletic, medium height. - Palette only: teal, mustard yellow, charcoal, white, dark green. 2. MAIN IMAGE PROMPT Create an anime-style full body illustration of an original character, Rin, a 24-year-old adult bicycle courier. She stands facing the viewer with one hand on the strap of her courier bag and the other giving a confident thumbs up, weight on one leg, a determined grin. Clean even lineart, flat cel shading with one shadow tone, soft gray-blue background with a light rain texture. 16:9 landscape with the character centered and space on both sides. Design lock: short messy teal hair with straight bangs, large amber eyes, small bandage on her left cheek, yellow rain jacket with one reflective stripe across the chest, black cargo shorts over gray leggings, white high-top boots, dark green crossbody courier bag, fingerless black gloves. Palette only teal, mustard yellow, charcoal, white, dark green. No text, no logos, no watermark. 3. EXPRESSION SHEET PROMPT Using the same character and design lock, create four head-and-shoulders portraits of Rin in a row on a plain light background: neutral, happy with a wide grin, angry with furrowed brows, surprised with wide eyes. Same hair, eyes, bandage, and jacket collar in every portrait. No text. 4. TURNAROUND PROMPT Using the same character and design lock, create a turnaround sheet of Rin: front, side, and back views standing in a neutral pose, same height on all three, the courier bag strap and jacket stripe consistent across views. Plain light background, no text. 5. SILHOUETTE CHECK Readable shapes: spiky short hair, the boxy courier bag at her hip, and the high-top boots. If it reads too plain, add a raised jacket hood bunched at the back of the neck. 6. ORIGINALITY CHECK Teal hair with a yellow jacket is a common combination but not tied to one character here. Keep the bandage and the courier bag as her signature details. 7. FIX LINES - Hair drift: "Hair stays short, messy, and teal with straight bangs, not long or blue." - Missing pieces: "Add the reflective stripe on the jacket and the fingerless gloves." - Eyes: "Eye color amber, same as before." - Hands: "Five fingers on each hand, gloves end at the knuckles." - Age: "She is a 24-year-old adult; keep adult proportions and face."
