A finished 3D cartoon prompt with clear shape, proportion, material, pose, and lighting rules. 2. A simplified icon version and a fuller environmental version. 3. A consistency sheet description for front, side, back, expression, and scale reference. 4. A negative prompt for copied characters, mixed proportions, extra limbs, plastic glare, unreadable text, logos, and watermarks. 5. Notes on silhouette readability, contact shadows, material separation, facial focus, and pose balance. 6. An originality check that compares only against the supplied brief, not a known entertainment property. Prioritize silhouette and expression before surface detail.
