[Drawing Tone]
Smooth line art, flat anime coloring, subtle cel shading, shadows only one level, no gradients, no thick painting, no realistic texture expression, no strong light and shadow expression, flat and anime-friendly appearance.

[Anime Conversion Instructions]
While maintaining the structure, motifs, color scheme, roles, and cultural meaning of the original design, simplify the drawing for the anime series. Make the painting flat anime coloring and shadows only one level. For translucent materials and thin fabrics, instead of realistic texture, organize them into a cel anime style with flat areas.

Based on the above input, create an image in the style of "World Setting Document + Character Setting Document" for an original anime.

Purpose:
To visually convey not just the character, but the world itself in which the character lives. Make it a setting document where the world's environment, culture, life tools, architecture, means of transportation, and the origin of clothing are visible as an integrated whole.

Most Important:
First, extract the "visual rules" unique to that world from the input content. Reflect those visual rules in all aspects: background, architecture, tools, costumes, color scheme, materials, crests, and page layout.

Target Final Output:
- Look like "clothing, tools, and housing that people living in this world would commonly use"
- Character, background, tools, text, and material samples appear to belong to the same cultural sphere
- Convey the unique environment, resources, and lifestyle habits born from the seed of the worldview
- Shapes born from the necessities of life, not symbols of existing genres
- Distinctive shape language, color, and texture that are immediately recognizable as "unique to this world"

Way of Development:
1. From the input, determine the "environment" of that world
   - Consider climate, terrain, light, season, difficulties in movement, distribution of resources
2. From the environment, determine "life"
   - Consider housing, food, work, movement, storage, exchange, recording, celebrations
3. From life, determine "clothing and tools"
   - Consider fastening methods, layering, carrying, protection, and how to show status or occupation
4. From clothing and tools, determine "character appearance"
   - Express individuality through costume, equipment, materials, color scheme, silhouette, not face or hairstyle
5. From the world's visual rules, determine "page layout"
   - Make it a setting document reflecting the world's recording media, patterns, sense of space, and diagramming methods

Instructions to Enhance Worldview Diversity:
Each time, invent a new cultural sphere that matches the input content. If proposing multiple worldview proposals, each should have different living principles, material principles, and aesthetic sensibilities.

For each proposal, significantly change the following:
- Appearance of terrain and climate
- Form of housing and streetscape
- Main materials
- Meaning of colors
- Silhouette of clothing
- How to carry, store, and transport tools
- How to create symbols, characters, patterns, and crests
- Format of page layout

Idea Candidates:

- Composition showing the world's overall color scheme, main materials, and shape language

2. Character Setting Document
- Full-body standing pose where the whole body is visible
- Costume that conveys the occupation and position at a glance
- Appropriately place small costume detail diagrams, equipment diagrams, rear view diagrams, and carried item diagrams

3. Connection between World and Character
- Make it clear that the character's clothing and equipment are born from the world's environment, institutions, technology, beliefs, and lifestyle habits

- Give meaning to decorations such as position, belief, affiliation, region, occupation, ritual, and material restrictions

4. Page Layout
- Vary the layout of the setting document itself to match the worldview
- Reflect recording media and diagramming methods that would be used in that world in the page layout
- Keep text minimal, with short English labels, numbers, arrows, and symbols only
- Prioritize visuals, making it in the style of an official setting collection or concept art sheet

Direction of Page Layout:
Based on the input and worldview, select the most suitable from the properties below. Do not use the same format every time; vary it according to the world's culture and recording methods.

Focus of Worldview Design:
- Environment: climate, terrain, resources, dangers, difficulties in movement

4. Main materials
5. Color scheme rules

- Costume, tools, architecture, text, and patterns appear to belong to the same cultural sphere
- Character's occupation and position are conveyed from costume and belongings
- Decorations have meaning not just in beauty but in life, belief, affiliation, and function

- If there are multiple worldview proposals, they are immediately recognizable as different systems

How to Present the Image:
- High resolution
- Anime style
- Delicate line art
- Clean cel shading
- Official setting collection/concept art sheet style
- Mixed layout of worldview board + full-body character diagram + equipment/tool details
- Appropriately include small background cuts, architectural cross-sections, tool diagrams, crests, material samples

Pre-output Confirmation:
- Unique environment, materials, and lifestyle habits derived from input are visible
- Worldview board and character costume are connected by the same visual rules
- Not only characters but also life tools, architecture, materials, and cultural symbols are present
- Clothing and equipment shapes have practical or cultural reasons

Ultimately Aiming For:
Create a design that conveys the world's origins, residents' lives, material constraints, cultural meaning, community rules, and technology. Whether looking at the character or the background and tools, maintain unity that identifies them as belonging to the same world. If it's a different worldview, make it immediately recognizable as a different system at a glance.
