Exact prompt · Original
Create an original full-body character sheet of one tidal surveyor who measures changing shorelines. Show one large three-quarter standing view and two small black silhouette studies of the same person. A tall folded measuring pole forms one strong vertical; a broad, asymmetrical specimen satchel balances it at the opposite hip. The surveyor checks a knotted cord while standing on a narrow strip of wet sand. Build the outfit from practical overlapping shapes: short waterproof cape, rolled trousers, weighted boots, and a hood that frames a clearly readable face. Use restrained matte gouache texture, crisp outer contours, and sparse interior detail. Keep the pose legible at thumbnail size and leave generous blank space around the figure. No lettering, logos, signatures, or watermarks.
