Character reference sheet for the colossal "Ae" titan — TWO views only, both fully detailed. LAYOUT: clean neutral mid-grey studio background. TWO large panels side by side: - LEFT PANEL: strict FRONT view — perfectly orthographic, no perspective distortion - RIGHT PANEL: strict BACK view — perfectly orthographic, no perspective distortion Both views show the SAME identical creature — same proportions, same armor, same weathering across both panels. CAMERA — REAL, NOT RENDER: Shot on a real Canon EOS 10D (2003 prosumer DSLR, 6.3MP APS-C CMOS sensor) with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II prime lens, aperture f/8, ISO 200, shutter 1/125s, tripod-mounted, two-point studio softbox lighting. The camera produces natural slightly grainy files with rich mid-tone detail, mild chroma noise in the shadows, gentle highlight rolloff, and an authentic early-2000s digital character. NOT CGI, NOT 3D render, NOT illustration — a real photograph of a real physical prop. PERSPECTIVE — CRITICAL: Both views are shot at a distance of 6 meters with the 50mm lens — this gives a NEARLY ORTHOGRAPHIC look with NO perspective distortion. The front view is NOT a three-quarter view. The back view is NOT angled. The creature faces the camera perfectly straight-on in the left panel, and faces perfectly away in the right panel. No foreshortening, no leaning, no warped proportions. === THE CREATURE — FULL DETAIL === OVERALL SILHOUETTE (matches the previous render): - tall, elongated, brutish biped — top-heavy, hunched slightly forward - extremely wide squared shoulders — the widest point of the silhouette - long heavy arms hanging down almost to the ankles, ending in huge clawed hands with long curved fingers - thick pillar legs, wide stance, enormous flat square feet with claw-toes - small square head with the "Ae" marking, sitting almost directly on the shoulders with a short thick neck - the whole silhouette reads SQUARE, BLOCKY, INDUSTRIAL — brutal, ancient, monumental HEAD: - large angular square box head, tilted slightly forward - front face split DIAGONALLY — left half darker matte charcoal, right half lighter warm grey - across the front, embossed in clean white letters: "Ae" — large, readable, filling most of the face - on top of the head: a small raised armored block with several thin vertical antenna rods sticking up like a crown - small warm amber glowing sensor lights on the sides - thin dark metal bezel around the edges - in the BACK VIEW, the rear of the head shows: an armored back plate with rivet rows, small access hatches, two thin vertical antenna rods visible from behind, small ventilation grilles, and a cluster of cables running down into the neck SHOULDERS & ARMS: - two enormous squared pauldrons — flat, blocky, riveted - upper arms thick and squared, exposed hydraulic pistons at the elbows - forearms wide, heavily plated - hands are brutal claws with long curved hydraulic fingers - cable bundles and hoses running down the inner side of each arm - in the BACK VIEW, the arms reveal additional details: exposed shoulder actuators, rows of hydraulic cylinders, cable clusters running from the shoulders to the elbows, small armored back-plates on the upper arms TORSO: - massive square chest plate, flat and monolithic - small raised armor modules bolted on the upper chest - small warm amber rectangular indicator lights on the chest - squared pelvis block with an armored skirt plate - narrow waist with visible machinery — pistons, cables, vents, cooling fins - in the BACK VIEW, the torso reveals: an armored spine running down the middle, exposed back-plate machinery, large cooling vents, exhaust ports, cable harnesses arranged like tendons, and small hatches with handles LEGS: - thick square armored thighs, columnar - large squared kneecaps with visible hydraulic rods - wide flat armored shins - enormous flat square feet with claw-toes planted firmly on the ground - faint faded yellow diagonal warning stripes near the knees and shins - in the BACK VIEW, the legs reveal: rear armor plates, exposed knee actuators, cable runs down the calves, small access panels, and the heel structure of the feet MATERIALS & WEATHERING (identical in both panels): - dark near-black armor with a subtle warm olive-grey tone - heavy rust streaks running down every surface - salt stains, dust, dried grime coating the lower legs and feet - chipped paint on every armor edge - scratches and scuff marks across all surfaces - matte worn metal — NOT glossy, NOT plastic, NOT chrome - exposed steel where paint has worn off - warm amber indicator lights glowing on the head and chest - exposed mechanical internals visible between armor plates - rivets in neat rows along every armor plate - small access hatches with visible hinges and small handles === LIGHTING & STYLE === Soft even two-point studio lighting — key light from the left, fill from the right, gentle top highlight. No dramatic shadows. Neutral clean mid-grey background with a subtle floor line. The creature is lit evenly and readably in both views, allowing every detail to be seen clearly. Photorealistic photograph of a real physical prop. Real camera, real lens, real light. NOT CGI, NOT 3D render, NOT concept art, NOT illustration, NOT plastic. Slight early-2000s digital grain, natural color, restrained grade. Aspect ratio 16:9. === STRICT NEGATIVES === Three-quarter view, angled view, perspective distortion, foreshortening, warped proportions, small head, slim humanoid body, sleek modern mech, glossy plastic, chrome, cartoon, anime, CGI, 3D render, illustration, concept art, extra panels, side view, close-up, multiple creatures, text labels, watermarks, logos other than the "Ae" marking on the head.
