Goal: Create a realistic full-body and portrait reference character sheet for a modern young East Asian man, useful as a video/animation model reference.
Canvas: Wide horizontal studio sheet, approximately 16:9 aspect ratio, light neutral gray background, thin white divider lines separating panels, clean editorial fashion catalog look.
Layout: Use exactly 5 visible views arranged in two main zones. Left column contains 2 stacked portrait crops: top portrait facing camera with a neutral expression, bottom portrait looking slightly off to the viewer’s right. Right wide zone contains 3 full-body outfit references: front view, side profile view, and back view, evenly spaced across the gray studio background. Keep the front full-body view partially cropped at the neck/head like a clothing reference, while the side and back views show the upper body to just above the head/neck area.
Subject details: The same {argument name="character name" default="young Japanese man"} appears in every panel, early-to-mid 20s, slim build, average height, pale-to-light skin, clean-shaven face, calm serious expression, natural uneven skin texture, realistic facial proportions. Hair is {argument name="hair color" default="black"}, medium length, softly wavy, center-parted with loose curtain bangs and slightly tousled volume around the ears.
Outfit: Minimal casual menswear: dark navy overshirt worn unbuttoned, white crew-neck T-shirt underneath, loose dark charcoal pleated trousers, black leather shoes. Hands are in trouser pockets for all full-body views. Clothing should have realistic cotton texture, folds, seams, collar, buttons, cuffs, and subtle studio shadows.
Photography style: High-resolution photorealistic studio photography, soft diffused lighting from the front-left, accurate anatomy, natural posture, muted tones, crisp detail, shallow but not extreme depth of field. No text, no labels, no logos, no watermark, no props, no extra people.
