Anime Character Portrait

This door starts a standing character portrait in a 90s anime style. The style is already selected, and the looks field asks for a full body, a hair shape you can recognize small, and both feet visible. You still owe the specific person: hair, face, age, and clothes. A style without a person is a mannequin.

Write the silhouette before the personality. Hair mass, coat length, and one prop that breaks the outline — a bag, a bat, a long scarf — are what survive at thumbnail size. Eyes and a catchlight do not. “Cool anime boy” produces a default. “Short black hair with a heavy fringe, a scar through the left eyebrow, an oversized gray coat to the knees, bare ankles, school shoes” produces someone you can draw again tomorrow.

Keep the pose boring on purpose. Weight on both feet, arms at the sides or one hand in a pocket. Action belongs on Character Pose after the face exists. A running portrait crops feet and invents a camera you did not ask for. Plain background. A detailed street behind them becomes the subject and fights the classroom plate you will composite later.

90s anime here means cel-friendly shapes and a line you could ink, not a specific studio’s characters. Do not name a living actor or a series. The model will lean toward that face, and you will not own it. Age stays in the adult range you intend to publish. If the frame cuts the shoes, add “full body, small in frame, both shoes visible” rather than switching to a portrait crop. A bust is a different shot. This door is the standing sheet you reuse. Save the hair sentence. The outfit door and the pose door both need it, or the fringe will change shape between jobs.
