Adapted prompt template

Copyable derivative prompt

This page turns the source case "Persona5 Character Reference Card" into a reusable character design pattern that can be adapted without copying the original prompt verbatim.

Best for

Character sheets, anime stylization, game-art reference boards, concept packets, expression lineups, and prop breakdowns.

Why it works

Character prompts become reusable only when they define viewpoint coverage, sheet layout, expression variation, costume breakdown, and label hierarchy, not just the character aesthetic.

Source lineage

Persona5 Character Reference Card by @iamrednightS

Create a stylized character card with franchise-inspired layout discipline. Treat this as a structured design sheet, not a single beauty render.

Core character concept: {{character_identity_and_genre}}
Art direction: {{style_reference_and_rendering_finish}}
Sheet layout: {{front_side_back_detail_panels}}
Expression set: {{expression_variations}}
Costume and prop callouts: {{closeup_details_and_labels}}
Color and annotation plan: {{palette_notes_and_text_density}}

Quality rules:
- keep the face, silhouette, and costume consistent across panels
- reserve space for labels and detail callouts
- avoid mixing too many franchise references in one prompt
- specify the number of views when you need a true reference sheet

What to change first

  • style reference and genre
  • sheet layout and panels
  • turnaround views
  • expression set
  • costume and prop callouts
  • label and annotation density

Common failure modes

  • asking for a reference sheet without specifying views
  • mixing too many franchises or art styles
  • forgetting prop and costume closeups
  • treating layout notes as optional when the page is supposed to read like a design board

Attribution and reuse boundary
