Create a Pixar 3D style character design sheet. Clean white background. Two characters side by side with a clean dividing line. Bold brushstroke-style title at the top: STEVE VS THE PLANK. Subtitle beneath: 60 seconds. Feels like a week.
LEFT SIDE — STEVE
Large name in bold black. Underneath: “It’s just one minute. He said it himself.”
Hero portrait — Steve isolated on clean white. No background. Pixar 3D man, late 30s, medium brown messy hair, plain blue t-shirt, dark grey gym shorts, white trainers. Average build — normal everyday man. Expression of forced confidence. Just Steve on white.
Three poses beneath:
- Perfect plank, arms straight, back flat, looking forward with total confidence. Timer on floor showing 00:57 — orange ring 95% full, tiny gap top left, bold white numbers.
- Same plank visibly deteriorating — arms bent and shaking, back sagging, neck straining, sweat on forehead. Staring at timer still showing 00:57. It has not moved.
- Complete collapse — face flat on mat, arms splayed, one eye open staring at timer showing 00:58. It went up. Steve has nothing left.
FORM ████░░░░░░ Leaving fast
WILL TO LIVE ░░░░░░████ Gone at 58 seconds
RIGHT SIDE — THE TIMER
Large name in bold black. Underneath: “One minute. Same as always. Not its problem.”
Hero portrait — the timer isolated on clean white. Large circular Apple UI style timer — dark circle background, bright orange ring starting at 12 o’clock running clockwise, 95% coverage, tiny gap top left, bold white 00:57 centered. Just the timer on white. Completely unbothered.
Three poses beneath:
- Timer showing 00:57 — orange ring 95%, tiny gap top left.
- Timer showing 00:57 — identical. Same ring. Same gap. Time has not moved.
- Timer showing 00:58 — orange ring 97%, gap slightly smaller. It went the wrong direction.
ACCURACY ██████████ Perfectly accurate. That is the problem.
SYMPATHY ░░░░░░░░░░ It is a timer.
BOTTOM STRIP — five close-up panels:
Steve’s shaking forearms on the mat, sweat visible · Timer close-up showing 00:57, orange ring 95%, gap top left · Steve’s wide desperate eye at floor level, sweat dripping · Timer close-up showing 00:58, orange ring 97%, gap slightly smaller · Steve’s cheek flat on the mat, one eye staring sideways at the timer
HE LOOKED AWAY FOR TEN SECONDS. IT WENT UP.
STYLE NOTES: Pixar 3D vivid rendering. Clean white background behind both hero portraits. Steve average build — not muscular. Timer identical across every appearance — dark circle, orange ring from 12 o’clock clockwise, 95% for all 00:57 instances, 97% for 00:58. Bold white numbers always clearly readable.
