Ladybug Friend · Curvature Through Spot Compression

SUBJECT
One original friendly ladybug character standing upright on two short legs, with two small arms and two antennae. Its head turns toward image-left while its rounded red back shell remains clearly visible in three-quarter view.

COMPOSITION
Show the complete character at eye level in a square frame, slightly left of center. Place the head toward image-left and the exposed shell toward image-right, leaving clear space around the antennae and feet.

STYLE GUIDE
1. Shape & line
Build the character from a small rounded head, a large domed shell, and simple curved limbs with clean dark outlines. Draw the black spots near the shell’s visible center as broad rounded shapes; progressively compress spots toward the image-right outer contour into narrow ovals that follow the shell’s turning surface.

2. Color & light
Use warm red for the shell, charcoal for the head and spots, and pale cream for the background. Light from the upper image-left, placing a broad soft highlight on the shell’s upper-left area and a darker red band along its image-right edge; keep the spots readable across both areas.

3. Texture & material
Render the shell as smooth satin with softly blended shading and one restrained highlight. Keep the black spots flush with that surface, allowing the same gentle shading to pass across them instead of giving each spot a raised rim or separate shadow.

4. Composition
Keep the visible shell large enough to compare the broad central spots with the compressed image-right spots at a glance. Separate the arms from the body with small clear gaps, keep the feet grounded by a soft contact shadow, and use an uncluttered cream background.

PRIORITY
Preserve the requested identity, count, action, composition and output settings. Apply the style rules within those constraints; a style reference must not replace the subject or layout. Within the style: Prioritize visible spot compression as the main cue to the shell’s curvature.

AVOID
Avoid uniformly round spots pasted across the shell regardless of its turning surface.

OUTPUT
Create one square character illustration with no lettering, captions, logos, or watermark.

SELF-CHECK
Check that the central spots look broad and the image-right edge spots look visibly narrower.
