Character reference turnaround sheet, 3D Pixar-style cartoon character design, full body, three views side by side (front view, 3/4 view, side profile view) on a plain neutral light-grey studio background, even soft studio lighting, no shadows on background. CHARACTER: Middle-aged male chef named Edward Kastryulkin. Short and round body build, stands about half a head shorter than his own cooking pot. Warm, soft, slightly plump silhouette — comedic, endearing, not skinny. FACE: Round rosy cheeks, one eye permanently half-squinted in a suspicious knowing expression, the other eye wide open and earnest — asymmetrical expression is a key character trait. Thick bushy mustache with a few visible breadcrumbs caught in it. Warm brown eyes, big expressive eyebrows. HAIR: Balding on top, one single stubborn tuft of hair sticking straight up from under his chef hat, refuses to lie flat. OUTFIT: Tall white classic chef hat (toque) slightly tilted to one side. Terracotta-orange apron tied over an olive-green long-sleeve shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows. Simple dark brown trousers, comfortable worn house shoes (not chef clogs — friendlier, homier look). PROPS: Holding a wooden spoon in his right hand like a conductor's baton, mid-gesture as if about to make a grand announcement. STYLE: Modern 3D animated cartoon style similar to Pixar/Dreamworks character design, warm rounded shapes, exaggerated expressive proportions (big head-to-body ratio, expressive hands), soft subsurface-scattering skin shading, warm color palette (terracotta, olive, cream, warm browns), clean stylized lighting, high detail on fabric texture (apron creases, fabric folds), production-quality character model sheet, consistent proportions across all three views, no background elements, no props other than the wooden spoon, centered composition, high resolution, sharp focus. NEGATIVE / avoid: realistic human photo style, horror or uncanny valley features, extra limbs, asymmetrical body proportions between the three views, cluttered background, text or watermarks, dark or moody lighting.
