Shaolin Monk Character Sheet

Goal: Create a high-end cinematic character design sheet for {argument name="character name" default="MEI LIAN"}, a fierce Shaolin monk character with a shaved head, golden robes, and an unbreakable presence, suitable as a reference sheet for animation or game production.

Canvas: Wide horizontal white studio canvas, approximately 16:9, clean negative space, photorealistic concept-art presentation with soft studio lighting and faint contact shadows under the character. Use a warm ochre, saffron, cream, and weathered gold palette.

Top-left text block: Large title “{argument name="character name" default="MEI LIAN"}” in bold condensed uppercase golden-brown lettering. Under it include three concise lines: “ROLE: Shaolin Monk”, “CORE MOOD: Fierce. Unyielding. Transcendent.”, and “VISUAL SIGNATURE: Shaved head. Golden robes. Unbreakable will.”

Main subject details: The character is a plus-size bald female Shaolin monk with medium-brown skin, intense direct gaze, strong eyebrows, large gold hoop earrings, layered necklaces, bracelets, prayer beads, talismans, and weathered fabric accessories. She wears {argument name="robe color" default="saffron golden-yellow"} layered monk robes wrapped loosely across the shoulders and chest, exposing the belly, with voluminous off-white harem pants printed with subtle gold motifs, wrapped beige boots, and a long torn trailing sash. Her expression is commanding, serene, and intimidating.

Layout and counted elements: Show exactly 15 character/reference elements total. Include 1 large central full-body front view dominating the middle of the sheet. Include 6 additional pose/view studies around it: 1 left side profile full-body view labeled “PROFILE”, 1 small rear full-body view labeled “BACK VIEW”, 1 upper-body forward leaning pose labeled “LEANING POSE”, 1 seated cross-legged pose labeled “SEATED POSE”, 1 low crouching pose labeled “CROUCHING POSE”, and 1 dramatic low-angle view labeled “LOW-ANGLE VIEW”. Include 1 top-down perspective pose in the upper-right labeled “TOP-DOWN ANGLE”. Include 3 black silhouette studies along the lower-left labeled “SILHOUETTE STUDY”: front silhouette with trailing sash, rear silhouette, and side/rear silhouette. Include 5 face expression thumbnails along the lower center labeled “EXPRESSION STUDY”: calm intense stare, shouting open mouth, stern neutral face, worried or tense face, and downward suspicious glare. Include 4 close-up detail thumbnails along the lower-right labeled “DETAIL STUDY”: eyes and earrings, layered chest robe and necklaces, hanging bead/talisman accessories, and wrapped boot.

Visual style: Photorealistic fantasy costume concept sheet with subtle ink-like handwritten labels, realistic fabric texture, frayed robe edges, dusty boots, detailed jewelry, natural skin texture, and consistent studio lighting. The sheet should feel like a professional character reference board, not a comic page.

Constraints: Keep all background areas plain white or very light gray. Do not add scenery, weapons, logos, watermark, UI elements, or extra characters. Maintain the exact counted pose groups and labels. Make the character visually consistent across all views, with the same shaved head, body shape, costume, jewelry, and golden monk identity.
