Create an original character-design reference of one human paper aeronaut testing a lightweight gliding suit. Show a large three-quarter action pose stepping off a low platform, with one small side-view inset of the same person standing still. Construct the suit from broad folded panels over a flexible fabric underlayer: triangular shoulder panels open as the arms rise, narrow elbow folds compress on the bent arm, and overlapping knee panels separate on the leading leg. Keep the face, hands, and feet human and expressive. Use clear seams and shadows at each hinge so the viewer can infer how the suit moves. Give the character one compact helmet and a small waist pouch; keep the background plain. Crisp ink and matte gouache character-sheet finish. No captions, readable lettering, third-party logos, or watermarks.
