Create a cinematic, film-production-grade character design sheet intended for a director, casting team, and costume department. This must feel like a high-budget animated film pitch board for a Malaysian feature film, not a generic model sheet.
CORE DIRECTIVE (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
No generic layouts
No evenly spaced grids
No sterile symmetry
Composition must feel art-directed, intentional, cinematic, slightly asymmetrical
Every section should feel handcrafted by a premium animation studio presentation team
