“Create a premium cinematic character bible sheet for a basketball player named JAY. Use the uploaded character sheet as the strict visual reference for his exact face, body, proportions, hair, skin tone and outfit. Do not change his appearance.

LEFT SIDE: Massive bold brushstroke text JAY top left corner, thick and expressive, bright orange color matching his jersey. Below it small text: STREET BASKETBALL / THE COURT IS HIS. One large full height dynamic hero image of Jay directly below — mid massive dunk, both hands driving the ball through the hoop, body fully extended above the rim, gold chain floating in the air, orange jersey catching the midday sunlight, backboard beginning to shatter around him, clear blue sky and empty street court visible behind him, vibrant orange and blue watercolor splash radiating outward fading into white, no box no frame, directly on the white page.

CENTER: Section labeled TURNAROUND in small clean text. Three full body views: Front, Side, Back. Same character same outfit same proportions as reference. Below: BALL section with one clean illustration of the orange basketball.

RIGHT SIDE: Section labeled DETAILS. Grid of four clean close-up panels: Face front cool confident expression, Eyes intense and confident, Gold chain detail, Orange jersey number 23 and sneaker close-up. Below: COLOR PALETTE — orange, black, white, gold. Tagline bottom right: THE COURT IS HIS.

OVERALL: Clean white background, vibrant orange and blue watercolor splash behind hero pose, orange as dominant color, minimal clean typography, lots of white space, cinematic cel-shaded 3D anime, semi-realistic CGI, hand-painted textures, digital painting feel, hard-edge brushwork, not cartoon not Disney not Pixar, print ready.”
