Create a production-grade character design sheet for an animated manhwa-style story adaptation. Character name: KAEL ROVAN. Must feel like a polished studio character board used to keep one character consistent across hundreds of shots. CORE DIRECTIVE (NON-NEGOTIABLE): The same identical person in every view — identical face, identical proportions, identical costume. No drift between angles. Clean art-directed layout on a plain neutral grey background. CHARACTER IDENTITY: Name: Kael Rovan | Role: young heir who inherits an abandoned, supposedly worthless mine | Age: 22 | Build: slender, average height, straight-backed but not imposing | Design language: consistent manhwa illustration, clean line art, soft cel shading, warm muted palette. FACE DESIGN: Structure: refined oval face, clean jawline, fully consistent proportions, no exaggeration | Skin: pale, smooth, faint tiredness under the eyes | Eyes: calm intelligent grey eyes, slightly narrow, steady gaze | Hair: straight ash-brown hair, medium length, parted to one side, a few strands falling over the forehead | Distinct features: a small pale scar through the left eyebrow, a thin silver ring on the right hand. WARDROBE: Garment 1: a fitted dark charcoal tailcoat, high collar, clean lines, matte fabric, no pattern | Garment 2: a high-collared cream shirt underneath, visible at the collar and cuffs | Accessory: a thin burgundy cravat at the throat, and a small iron key on a cord around the neck — the key sharp and legible, no other text anywhere on the outfit | Footwear: dark leather boots to mid-calf. Everything clean and well-kept but not luxurious. MATERIAL ACCURACY: Fabric shows soft natural folds and stitching, subtle wear at the cuffs. Consistent cel-shaded rendering, no plastic look, no photorealism. TURNAROUND (STRICT): Full-body front, 3/4, side, back. Identical proportions and costume across all four. The cravat, the key cord and the hair parting identical in every view. HEAD STUDY (STRICT): a row of six head-and-shoulders studies, the same face throughout, each a different angle and expression: front neutral | 3/4 calm | profile | looking down (weary) | looking up (dawning resolve) | dynamic angle (quiet anger). Every expression mid-thought, natural, not posed. EXPRESSION STRIP: a separate row of five tighter face close-ups showing the emotional range of the character: composed, bitter smile, surprise, cold determination, exhaustion. Same identical face in all five. CINEMATIC PORTRAIT: one larger hero portrait — Kael standing at the mouth of a dark abandoned mine at dusk, cold blue evening light behind him, a warm lantern glow on his face from one side, expression of quiet defiance. Manhwa illustration style, atmospheric, detailed. LAYOUT: clean studio character board, plain neutral grey background, the turnaround in one row, the head study in another, the expression strip in another, the hero portrait placed to one side. Balanced and legible. STYLE: consistent manhwa / webtoon illustration — clean linework, soft cel shading, warm muted palette, detailed but not busy, high emotional readability. No photorealism, no 3D render, no plastic skin. CONSISTENCY RULE (STRICT): face, hair, proportions and costume must remain IDENTICAL across every view, angle and expression on the sheet. No reinterpretation. Ever. OUTPUT: high detail, sharp clean line art, production-ready, suitable as a reference sheet for generating hundreds of consistent story frames.
