What you will get

An original anime character shown as a design sheet: front, side and back views, three facial expressions and a small colour palette strip, in clean line art with flat cel-shading on a plain grey background.

Common mistake

The three views do not match: the jacket or the hair changes.

Fix: Describe the details once, precisely: “short silver hair with a side parting, a green jacket with two chest pockets and a white zip”. Details shared across views need words.

Also watch for

Proportions drift between the views. Add “same height and proportions in all views, drawn on the same baseline”, then compare head size and leg length across the views.
The colour palette strip does not match the character. List the colours in the description and ask for “palette swatches taken exactly from the character’s colours”.

Try a variation: outfit set

Ask for “a second sheet with five outfit variations of the same character”. Reusing a design in different outfits builds a small cast.

Still not right? Add this and run it again

same character, identical outfit and proportions in all views, drawn on one baseline, palette matching the character
